Things that I really like (3 Viewers)

I've heard watching too much of the news turns your hair grey

JK ....

I used to think grey hair made you look old, now I know it makes you look experienced.

It is increasingly hard to find actual news imo. I sometimes look around a bit to try to see different slants on it.

Something I did see I liked:

King’s Birthday Honours 2025: The full list

The New Zealanders honoured this King's Birthday.

Notwithstanding the potential flaws in the honours system - good on them!

Not watching the news. There might have been a time when watching the news meant that you were being kept informed. This is not that time. I find that the more folks watch FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and wherever else that they are getting their news, the more that they seemed unhinged. That's regardless of political affiliation. It has become a sickness. Time to turn it off.

Good for you mate. You won't regret it. I rarely bother with the main-stream media (MSM) these days and instead follow a range of other alternative news and information podcasts which more than keeps me informed.......its actually deeply troubling the rubbish our MSM dish up these days, full of opinion based, biased dribble, often delivered from a left-leaning perspective.

I find even the "news" whose political viewpoint I agree with to be irritating. It is almost like a CIA psych-op program to radicalize people and you have actually seen that happen in the US over the last ten years. FOX is the most effective. Currently, they are fixated now on Harvard getting its funding cut and illegal alien crimes. No matter what else is going on. MSNBC is less effective on the left but has the same playbook. Give it a rest for 24 hours and you feel like a new person.

I can't comment on what's occurring in the US, however down here the left hold centre-court and more than dominate MSM. They manage a leftist slant on virtually everything and its vomit worthy. Yet they can't work out why MSM ratings have plummeted and viewer numbers have dived over the past few years......

The Steelers have signed Rogers; great, I'll get my popcorn ready.

So great to see Musk taking himself and his companies down the drain. What a lunatic. He was a disaster at DOGE. He caused untold harm and chaos when there were legitimate opportunities to cut spending. Trump is learning a hard lesson. If Musk is devoted to cutting spending, then let's start with the hundreds of millions that he receives from the tax payers.

Thinking about how many covered wagons will be going back and forth from Indiana to OKC as fans travel to watch their team in the NBA finals.

I did see this morning once again the Pacers won on a last second shot after being down 15 at one point.

In all seriousness, basketball to Indiana is what football is to Texas, so good for them, I hope they win it.

Everyone hates to admit it but the ratings will still be good thanks to gambling.

After Indiana won Game 1 ESPN went straight to a board showing the current odds.

The sport and entertainment value are now secondary, gambling comes first.

I have zero interest in who wins but the level of play appears to be great. Hard to top game one.
