This is great. Best chance yet of getting rid of Reti for good, and Gary is a great candidate.

Every fucking new photo, there’s more tat. At this point it’s actually making me giggle.

No, QAnon was not right. But #MeToo is.

Snopes. There are no remaining trustworthy mainstream news sources.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

Do they not understand that unless we stand in front of them, purposely taking our headphones off while maintaining eye contact, we do. not. wish. to. engage.

We see you dude, that’s why our headphones are still on.

This could only be more awesome if you’d also caught a shimmer of Mātariki/Subaru in the night sky.

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Family’s frustration for woman last seen at SkyCity grows as search hits 10 weeks Te Anihana Pomana was last seen on CCTV at 5.06am on August 21.

Te Anihana is still missing. Unclear if police are actively looking for her as well as 'appealing to the public'.

I (reluctantly) did that job yesterday. Found myself compelled to tidy my wallet first, parked outside of the WOF place 🙄

Accompanying an elderly parent to the docs is similar to a going along with your adolescent kid… you don’t talk much, but there’s substantial eyebrow & 😬🙄😶 game happening.

Sadly far too late to keep his victim from taking her own life.

It’s not hard to imagine how different our current shit reality would be if we had could really listen to the victims of all these repulsive men. They’ve been telling us who the bad guys are for decades.

If anything Fonterra owns is sold, the purchase price has to include the reimbursement to every New Zealander of the full cost of past & future environmental damage. We’ve been fully subsidising that for decades.

The new Bluesky logo is bluuuurk. Dated and immature. Like it would go well with comic sans.

You’re doing so well 😊 For me it was definitely a full six week process, with incremental recovery right up until the last week or so, and then a wild rush to feeling fantastic

In my book the *only* reason for name suppression is to protect victims. And that is not impacted by name suppression in this case.

I’d add, best fish restaurant and 100% quirkiest decor, Plato (spenny, but worth the treat if you can).
