Me: I’m leaning towards these new frames… but they remind me of someone?
Rodd:
I still ordered them. 😂

We had a public holiday in Australia yesterday (Thursday), which means I get to post my favourite stupid German meme! 😂
(Germans call a day between a public holiday and a weekend – where you can take it as personal leave to have a longer break – a “Brückentag”, or “bridge” day.)

Links that amused me today
- Sydney Sweeney Knows Her Boobs Drive People Crazy – LOL. Good for her! I want that sweatshirt.
- The Man Who Killed Google Search – Deliciously scathing post about the enshittification of Google Search. Guess what? AI-generated content is only gonna make it worse.
- 27 Takes On What It Means To Be a Serious Person – Both Rodd and I agreed that “purpose” is really critical and that neither of us have it, which is but one of many reasons why we are not serious people. Great piece.
- Any John Cage fans? “This is may be the most beautiful accidental explanation of the power of a work of art I’ve ever read in my life.” Agree. I also rather liked this reply.

It’s my favourite time of year, when Swedish TV plays a 24-7 livestream of the annual Spring moose migration. I find it very soothing. No moose yet (it’s still early days), but there’s snow, forests, rivers, and birds. Look for the SVT Play app on your phone or smart TV. 🫎 📺
Congrats to my brother Joey, who was named Male Athlete of the Year and Male Senior Athlete of the Year at Ball State! ❤️🙌

Giving myself a high-five!🤚 I’ve spent a couple weekends crossing off a big task on my “Digital Life” To Do list: moving all of my passwords to a new password manager (Strongbox), setting up a shared DB with the Snook for passwords we both need to access; upgrading every password to something much stronger, and closing as many old junk accounts as possible. I also went through Google Password’s security recommendations (and Firefox’s browser ones too, but they were largely the same) to be sure I didn’t miss any junk accounts with compromised or easily guessable passwords. (There were things in there going back 12+ years!) I feel very good about this, and annoyed that I waited so long to finally get it under control. I also have renewed appreciation for companies that offer a prominent “Delete your account” option, and scorn for those that make you raise a support request.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
