@dennyhenke Also like Blair (going into Iraq under completely false pretences) his legacy will be tainted by his actions - not that I give a shit about his legacy but change is made by those bold enough to make it happen.

@dennyhenke thats what infuriates me about my relationship with America (for reference my wife is half American). On the one hand I like Biden and can see the stability he has brought to the US in times of polarization.

On the other hand this is the man with the fucking keys and he’s supporting and enabling the daily systematic murder of innocents. The definition of schizophrenic.

Time will absolutely not look kindly on the US’s blinkered support of the atrocities in Gaza and more importantly Palestine in general. Having a war criminal presented as a guest of the state is not a good look if you believe you are on the right side of plain human decency. It may be half a world away, ... www.kaa.bz

Endearing accents. Call it sentimental from watching too much American TV while growing up, but today had a short meeting with someone presenting from Jersey and it was thick, which kinda made me smile. In the same way whenever a true Canadian says about, just gives me a little sense of place.

Can Paris fix its poop problem before the Olympics? Through engineering, that’s how. I kinda feel that it would have been better if they had built more than a single reservoir, but alas it would be a great way to make things better 100 years after they made it completely terrible. I imagine this must contr... www.kaa.bz

Cobra Kai has been a pretty fun show to watch. When it’s great, it hits some really big highs. It suffer from some poor writing choices, but overall the momentum of the show is great. I also kinda like the fact that they’ve split the last season into three five episode mini seasons. Extends the time artifi... www.kaa.bz

The ANZA 750S by Monday Motorbikes is definitely my kind of urban bike. The fact you can also get two people on this is pretty awesome as well.

Finished reading: The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist by Adrian Tomine 📚. This was amazingly endearing. Quick read but also made me cringe and showed me a window of a life I once craved.

@jthingelstad and it doesnt hang its hat in Minnesota :)

@jthingelstad cute, but there is only one United :).

Finally, Presto is on Apple Wallet. One less card to carry. I was just thinking about getting one of those three card wallets. Not anymore.

Power outage map for Toronto today was insane.

Yeah climate change is not real. Flooding across Toronto is perfectly normal. Nothing to see here. Absolutely nothing to see.

🏀 Activity number one for the summer evenings is definitely some basketball. I remember loosing 25kg when I was 16 on the back of this daily habit. Let’s see if I can build that habit again.

@pratik Oh fuck, completely forgot 🤣...

I think I can likely get a little bit of my attention back now that both the Copa America and Euro’s is over. It’s been fun following along both the matches and then in a number of podcasts. Having said that I do want to concentrate on other activities, so will only really be following a little bit of Manc... www.kaa.bz

⚽️ Shame about delay to get the Copa final going. To be fair, this same thing happened 3 years ago in London, at the Euro 2020 (held in 2021).

⚽️ Goal! Super sub Palmer!

⚽️ Wasn’t the greatest showing from Mainoo this game. No moment of genius but solid I guess. Now it has to be all guns ablaze.

⚽️ Ok half. Brother team really going for it yet. Someone needs to score to open the game up.

⚽️ What a block by Rhodri.

⚽️ Jordan ‘Go Long’ Pickford.

⚽️ Shaw’s currently got Yamal in his pocket…

⚽️ Foden for England hasn’t been great. He’s not stepped up really (like a Bellingham has a couple of times). Wonder if tonight is his night

⚽️ Also don’t need to go long for everything.

⚽️ Keep it for longer than 2 passes England. Tiki taka football can get fucking boring.

⚽️ Good to see Kobbie Mainoo on the pitch.

⚽️ Here. We. Go. I really hope this is another classic final like the World Cup final, however something tells me that’s going to be a tall order.

Finished reading: Shift by Hugh Howey 📚. I listened to this one as an audiobook (even though I have the ebook of this as well). This story is just incredibly dense and extremely well put together.

🥐 For the last few months we’ve been relying on Blackbird Bakery for our baked goods on a Sunday. Today Ryan asked for the alternative (when presented with the option) and ended up getting the Bisou bakery. French (or French Canadians) know how to make the better croissant.

@maique what a look 😂

@ia did not know that! Nice feature!

@manton not sure if its me but my site is down, Got a 503 server error?

@jean amazing catch.

@pratik agreed :).

@skoobz 😂

@bryan yeah I hear that. Thankfully I’m not the hoarder (I have no sentimental attachment to stuff, but that wasn’t always the case). My wife however tries to keep some things which is ok I guess (but my view is that it’ll we will get rid of it at some point).

@skoobz its soo true. the officiating is also a little off (lets plenty of shit through).

@thestevepbrady went for an Addisdive field watch. Knew the bracelet was going to be garbage (it is), but the actual watch is great…except for the mechanism (that us Japanese) and didnt work for setting the date.

@numericcitizen sometimes availability is an issue, most times price is an issue, but options that tick these reasonably limited criteria is the most limiting factor.

@numericcitizen I’m looking for a reasonable summer break for the family (2weeks tops). Has a pool for the kids, is somewhere in nature (so dofferent to the concrete jungle we live in), and its not been an easy find at all. We’ve spent hours this weekend and havent gotten very far…

@manton Its a great feature and also one you are on top of, so I dont need to be.

@manton right, so username is kaa.pow

@manton So it giving me an error:

{"errormessage":"Invalid Request: The user has not accepted the invite to test the app","errorcode":1349245},

Am I doing something wrong?

@manton threads username is @kaa

@jean nice looking set!

@ChrisJWilson Exactly! Also I have really loved it when he’s done stuff that outsmart the other guy, thats why I think Pep was so annoyed at the end of the FA cup, he’d been outsmarted by a guy that was seemingly on the ropes or about to loose his job.

@cleverdevil its been real sobering following the progress. I wish you guys the very best on this hard and ardous journey. Stay strong.

@markstoneman so i got over that by creating a bunch of shortcuts rather than the tray.

www.kaa.bz/2022/10/1...

I have more now, but this was the start of that journey.

@pratik The AI stuff leaves me cold with relatively sub-par results. Maybe Apple has found a good way of sorting this out....but I'm not holding my breathe. I'm more excited about some of the new features they have coming across all three devices I own.
