Time to drag out your old strapline again

What in the ever loving 'pick me' shit is this?

Not gonna lie it was too cold for shorts at the oval but worth it to see that Jacob Duffy (Southern Districts) over alone

I will not stand for such slander!

Duffy has been stellar.

If this series ends up tied, impromptu decider in Lumsden

That Kyle Jamieson effort reminds me that the lad got his first caught & bowled at cricket last weekend. So good.

Possible showers but should be okay for time

So good to see Duffy turn it on at home

Cricket’s on.

2011 - In the Situation Room, President Obama oversees the attempt to capture Osama bin Laden

2025 - In the Situation Room, President Trump attempts to convince a woman who was thrown out of Beetlejuice: The Musical for allegedly wanking off her boyfriend, to not vote to release the Epstein files

Age verification laws were the wedge used to drive barriers to access and surveillance. Those who argued along the lines of “we have age verification for alcohol sales, why not for internet?” were an inconvenient distraction from the real harms.

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."

Yes, really.

Albany St project to go ahead - over budget Dunedin's much-debated Albany St cycling and walking link will proceed. The project made it through an 8-7 vote at the Dunedin City Council today...

Big first meeting for the incoming council, and heartening to see a majority of them understand that streets are for people.

Absolutely horror IPCA report on how the Police handled complaints against McSkimming.

A woman, who said she had a sexual relationship with him when she was 21 and he was 40, made complaints about him and instead of taking it seriously they prosecuted her under the HDCA.

Looks like a bad day for the Social Investment Agency

Just seems a little short while ago that various government politicians, and people acting as their media surrogates, were outraged and scandalized by, and poured scorn on, comments from younger women politicians for suggesting many people don't trust cops.

Highest levels of the force - filth.

The view from the stands.

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

So long as we don’t consider any other implications, all will be well

‘Why asset sales are actually good news for house values’ in 3,2 …

NZ needs to have a ‘mature conversation’ about selling state assets, PM says Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has indicated asset sales could be included in National’s manifesto for the 2026 election.

In fact, I think a truly mature conversation would actually assess some of our many past asset sales and consider whether re-nationalising some of those assets might be in the country's interest.

But that's definitely not the conversation he wants.

It looks like they're trying to work out a way to dispose of a body.

Need to see photos of the boombox shoulder

Jarome Luai still on the grub train I see

I do enjoy Cricinfo commentary banter
