Different birth year, hopefully a different death style too…

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

Govt concluding formal response to March 15 Royal Commission Thirty-six recommendations had either been implemented or were being integrated into ongoing work programmes, while the remaining eight would not progress, Judith Collins said.

So much for NZGovt keeping their word, despite committing to all 44 recommendations of the RCOI into Christchurch attacks, only a few substantively delivered. Most are incomplete or not done. New Zealand as nation is at risk. Breaking down by topic 1/7 www.1news.co.nz/2024/08/02/g...

Scene from 'Dune' (1985) - Paul Atreides in formal dress is sitting in a leather wing chair with a pug puppy sitting on his lap.

Still from 'Dune' (1984). Battle scene with Patrick Steward going into battle holding a pug, while shouting encouragement to his troops because why not?

I'd honestly never noticed it until last night's well-attended screening of Lynch's DUNE - BUT I AM NOW OBSESSED WITH THIS PUG. Seriously, how the hell did this sweet Atreides Caladian fur baby survive on Harkonnen-occupied Arrakis for two years?

MAKE PUGS OF DUNE HAPPEN NOW YOU COWARDS!

In a 2024 interview, (Penn Jillette) said he renounced his libertarianism as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic after a libertarian group asked him to speak at an anti-mask rally. “The fact they sent me this email is something I need to be very ashamed of, and I need to change" adding "Many times when I identified as Libertarian, people said to me, 'It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,' and I had a zillion answers to that — and now that seems 100 percent accurate."

I think about the reasons Penn Jillette gave for renouncing Libertarianism a lot.
… People said to me “It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,' and I had a zillion answers to that - and now that seems 100 percent accurate."

It’s a tough day for Ōtautahi Christchurch as we remember those we lost, and the lives changed forever, in the 2011 earthquake.

Three Michelin reviewers (above) unmasked. Note the cigars in the mouths of the heads. These were removable while dining, but the cigars allowed the reviewers to blend in in fine dining establishments all over France, in the days when people smoked in restaurants.

Six top reviewers setting out to dine anonymously.

Differences of opinion between Michelin reviewers were always settled the old fashioned way.

The Michelin stars for fancy restaurants are handed out by Michelin reviewers. In order that the restaurant does not know that they have a Michelin reviewer dining with them that night the traditional French way of covering this up is for the Michelin reviewers to become anonymous.

Whoa. Great lineup on both stages this year.

Omg! My mum had one of these! So bizarre

broke: we should elect only women politicians because women are naturally more moral and peaceful

I was in the field today with this penguin, and this colony mates, most of whom were molting but this one seems to be done already. Lots of feathers. Like, I mean, LOTS of feathers. Everywhere.

“Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside.” - Lin-Manuel Miranda. Photos by Felicity Jean Photography, published by Andrew Macfarlane on Twitter: x.com/andrewmacfnz... Congratulations to the newlyweds, and wish them both the very best.

Bohemian Rhapsody. We Will Rock You. Somebody To Love. All hit singles, and all the direct product of a band that was formed when an astrophysicist and a dentistry major found a new friend in an art college, who then went on to recruit a fourth member from the electronics school. Based on this alliance I propose the rift in society between Arts and STEM students was fabricated to keep us separated so as to dilute our true power - and fabricated by who, you may ask? The business major, the only member of society who reaps no reward from art and science and thus must weaken us so as to stay ahead.
