14C here in Te Whanganui-a-tara, Aotearoa.

I’ve been weeding, and haven’t needed a jacket, just a t-shirt.

I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the Trainspotting "Choose Life" monologue to be about COVID risk, and it was too brutal for me to share tbh.

When even auto-complete on steroids 'gets it' I'm not sure what others' excuses really are, to be honest 🤦‍♂️

At this stage of year 5 of the COVID pandemic, I’m choosing to just lol @ people’s cognitive dissonance showing in realtime.

As the effects of repeated infection of an immune damaging virus become less easy to hide, I’ll be taking this position

And meanwhile: "More classrooms close as teachers fall sick"

I mean. It's a good job we invested in clean air in schools when NZ was still mitigating the virus, right? This is just a completely unforeseeable circumstance </s>

"But we're fatigued with it all, I can't live in fear all the time, we've got to get on with it..."

Come back to me when you've got chronic fatigue from long covid and tell me how fatigued you were with it all before.

WWDC next week, and I’ll no doubt get up for it (it’s 5AM in NZ) as per tradition.

Not sure if I’m looking forwards to it, or if I’m going to be mystery-science-theatring my way through as they announced AI features and what not. Suspect this year’s gonna be a mixed bag!

NZ folk, is it normal for Kōwhai to be flowering at this time of year? 🤔

Given the spam message both teens have received today on their phones, we could’ve been $750,000 up x2. Millionaires as a family (!)

Austerity measures are what those in power do when they don’t believe there’s a future

Fuck anyone who thinks rocking up to work alongside others when they have COVID is ok (including Lady Gaga).

Also, the idea that she gave support staff the choice with full disclosure? Laughable given the power dynamic and what would likely happen to someone who said no.

“We’ve all got to live with it now”

… exactly. Which means people need to act responsibly and considerately for others.

Unless of course you mean some folk get to ignore it all, and everyone else has to live with the consequences

COVID booster done just now.

Pharmacist ran through the details beforehand. I asked “when will the 5G on my phone get better reception?” 😅

@dave @refactoredd do you have Novavax there? Better cross-variant efficacy and doesn’t wane as fast as the mRNA ones. Hard to find here in the states.

dave,
@dave@social.lightbeamapps.com avatar

@cferdinandi @refactoredd

The one we had recently withdrawn. New Novavax not here yet unfortunately (afaik)

I would’ve had it if it had been an option 👍
