Today I watched the Knicks ticker tape parade, the Obama Presidential Centre opening and attended Jools Topp’s beautiful farewell. There are so many great leaders, artists and wonderful humans in this world, it warmed the cockles of my heart. ❤️

I think about watching Coronation St in 2000. Hayley was trans (ex Harold) and married to autistic trainspotter Roy and it was no big deal. The most adorable romance ever. I wonder how their characters would be written today?

Winston Peters First

Anecdotal political opinions from NZ after our hot water cylinder blew up. Plumber, “why the hell did that stupid country start a war with Iran? We’re all fucked”. Water deliverer, “I’m going to have to charge you an extra $50 for diesel because of that fucking dumb orange cunt”. Verbatim.

If you ever have the misfortune of ending up in Invercargill NZ, you’ve either been shipwrecked or running from the law. It does, however have my favourite collection of motorcycles. It’s a lovely history of NZ Motorsport. 300+ motorcycles with accompanying stories. #motosky #motorcyle #motorbike

My wedding present. Circa 1993. Golden 1972 Triumph tiger 500. #motosky #motorcycle

The guy that taught me ride, this was one of his bikes. No I didn’t get to ride it. No I didn’t get to sit on it. I wasn’t even allowed to touch it. Booooo. It was like being in a lift with a really famous person. Pretty spectacular bike tho. #motorcycles #motorbikes

I commuted 80km’s a day for years on the F650. It was like riding on a pleasant cloud. The sportster was fun also but a different ride. The little poodle I took to work in my jacket every day hated the Harley noise and preferred the BMW. #motorcycles #dogs

This is very concerning. Musk’s DOGE and Palantir is motivated by unfettered access to Govt data for power and profit. They have also voiced how keen they are to undermine liberal democracy.

SCOOP: Elon Musk’s DOGE has plans to stage a “hackathon” next week in Washington, DC. The goal is to create a single “mega API”—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED.

The Myanmar Thailand earthquake sounds very serious. I hope the international community can help.

What is happening in USA is illogical/self destructive.Trump is a fame hungry beast lining his pockets while destroying the Federal Govt to hand to the Christian Nationalists and the libertarian seasteaders. Makes sense @davetroy.com and @gilduran.com youtu.be/CCj_q8tw-mI?...

I pretty much fed my family macaroni cheese for 15 years so I’m not a fuss pot.This is a Compass Group hospital dinner. 😂 Thankfully I was too busy stumbling around in the valley of the dolls to have much of an appetite. I often wonder what it was?

I so agree with Steve Wozniak. Tesla have not innovated. The interface is appalling and the interior has all the ambience of the worst conference room in an industrial estate.

The moon was going nuts tonight. Then I turn around and the sun’s going hold my beer. Showponies.

Cleaned out the scary dead mouse drawer and found ancient photos I thought I’d lost of the old 78 Bonnie and 61 Thunderbird. I may be old and completely grey with a clicky hip but now have the Thruxton R. Life just keeps getting better! Still use the tank bag and jacket. #motorcyles

Moonset. Whananaki, NZ

I’m a shit photographer but this is the full moon rising over the hills out the back of my house. It’s not Mar-a-Lago and it’s not mars.

It’s all so exhausting.Thank god we have music. I thought I’d post something from an overgrown back garden in West Auckland, NZ.

Seeking refuge here from X. It’s all ivermectin, lesbians in the LAFD, tunnels under the Getty secreting children, pedo elites, lizard people, UFOs, space lasers, illegals, Jews, DEI hires, Govt controlling the weather, Māori elites, leftists, liberals…a quagmire of unhinged insanity. IT’S NUTS!!!!
