Milwaukeean by birth, Kiwi by choice. I used to chef. Now I hang out with my wife, play punk rock guitar, umpire New Zealand baseball, and play with my deaf dog.

Good luck finding a turkey in New Zealand. I’ve only found them at a high-end gourmet grocery, and then a 13 lb turkey is NZ$125 (about US$70).

Hey @bsky.app @support.bsky.team I’m having an ongoing issue on my iPhone. When I try to watch a video, it almost always freezes part way through. Sometimes it’ll unfreeze, sometimes I can’t even go back to the original post and I need to quit the app and restart. On both wifi and 5G. Help?

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

I mean, that's fine, but these were the croissants at the BP station in Warkworth, New Zealand, yesterday. Your fancy schmancy Soho croissants are one thing, but these clearly are something very different.

To be fair, I got this case for my pedal board from Temu, and it's fine. I'm sure Winnie got free shipping as well.

Yes, it might have been 9am on a #nz Sunday morning when this photo was taken. But I needed to simmer this Italian sausage (which our butcher had made because I requested it) and the #brewers first playoff game is on and waste nothing. I regret nothing.

@gtconway.bsky.social Real talk: What's that guitar in the middle that's hiding behind you?

Iggy said he’s game.

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

There’s more than a little of this sort of thing these days.

Nope, this old.

Here's a tip for garlic: Buy a pound of peeled garlic (reasonably easy to find). Pop it in the food processor and pulse until it gets to how fine you'd like it. Scoop it onto a parchment-lined sheet and freeze for a couple of hours. Pop them into a Ziploc and grab them out as needed.

Look, one of these is real, the other is not. There's really no way to tell which is which.

Just two dudes, hanging out by the fire on a Tuesday morning, scrolling through @bsky.app

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social if this is, in fact, an instalment of Spy vs Spy, shouldn’t you be wearing white?

My Substack homepage indicates Trump might not have been successful in getting everyone to focus on another shiny object besides Jeffrey Epstein.

There are a surprisingly large number of things that are great about having a deaf dog. This is definitely one of them.

Our new tiny house, which is currently withstanding torrential rains and 50mph winds with no issues, is built better than Trump's concentration camp.

Um, no.

I'll just have my new Reverend Club King RT, but that hard case can definitely stop an RPG.

Here's our Iggy.

Luxon misunderstood the question — he thought it was about the budget, not the polling. #nzpol
