Worst. PM. Ever.

What a complete bastard. He should be grateful no one is shooting him?

Forget the old woman who lived in a shoe: A Michigander in her mid-thirties made a home in a Family Fare supermarket sign for nearly a year, local outlet MLive reported. The unnamed woman lived rent-free and went unnoticed by shoppers and workers until a construction crew working on repairs to the building’s roof stumbled upon her humble abode two weeks ago, Midland Police Officer Brennon Warren told the outlet. “She essentially made it home,” Warren said, describing how officers discovered a cozy apartment complete with desk, houseplant, computer printer, coffeemaker, and a cubbyhole of food. It’s unclear why and how the woman chose to build her nest there; police said she’s employed and turned down housing assistance when offered. When she was discovered, some of the store workers said they recognized her from around the property and that she occasionally seemed to vanish into thin air. They now have a new name for the legendary eave-dweller: “The Roof Ninja.” Authorities and Family Fare are working to help her find a new home.

Amazon is filled with garbage ebooks. Here’s how they get made.

It’s partly AI, partly a get-rich-quick scheme, and entirely bad for confused consumers.

This makes me sad and angry.

Last night I had the immense pleasure of going to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl along with ten thousand plus people to witness a religious experience.

First up: Nile Rogers and Chic. Started the show with Le Freak and smashed out 50 years of bangers. What a career! What a song writer!

I bought this pot at Aldi this morning because it's a nice wide one and I can pop some veggies in it.

This couple ahead of me in the checkout queue were discussing what booze to buy at Aldi then decided they had enough at home then were discussing their home booze collection. First he then she separately asked me if I was buying this to hold alcohol.

It's no wonder people say Australians have a drinking problem. Both looked surprised when I said plants would be going in it.

Anyway, this is at Aldi this week for $20.

Glass corn I popped in pots last weekend are popping up already. And a tomato seed has popped up overnight next to these two that have been happily growing in my windowsill for a few weeks now.

Three pots. One pot has two tomato plants growing and one pot has a tiny green seedling coming up.
