From the home page of stuff.co.nz, a link to a news article. The photo is fuzzy, showing a bearded man of average build with long blond hair and a tight leopard-print top. The headline is, "Can you recognise this A-list star?". The article category, appearing above the headline, says "Jonah Hill".

TFW you're really good at writing clickbait headlines, but the bastards in charge of news article categorisation don't care for your talents.

"In the book I wrote, whatever the hell the title...I can't tell ya."

Cancel culture has gone too far.

I'm warming to the guy.

He has one option left. We're not exactly on tenterhooks here.

Seems important that the Speaker of the House does not even try to dispute that the president is unwell.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "It seems very disingenuous for the Democrats to be blaming President Trump for these rural hospital struggles. The reason rural hospitals are struggling is because of the bad economy."

Dealing with earthquake hazard and risk is a complex and nuanced problem, with no easy answers. For the most part, the scientific experts think the changes announced today are a positive step forward

Imagine being the Professor of Mathematics who took that call.

Spotify's weekly 'Release Radar' has serving up hot new music from Bowie, Nina Simone, Chet Baker, Brahms, Coltrane...

THIS! But I reckon we can probably guess which was the Supreme Court will go when defining his "emergency" powers soon.

Three consecutiove NZ Herald headlines: "Kiwis are cooking their sausages wrong", "Your coffee habit could be ruining your health", "Moving to Australia? Why Kiwis are being warned to rethink their plans."

Today on the Herald: Everything that New Zealanders think or do is wrong.

Yes they have, but not as part of the Statement on the Long-term Fiscal Position.

You understand, I hope, that the entire point of these reports is to project NZ's future under **current policy**. It isn't, and shoudn't be, Treasury's job to invent new taxes.

Nah man, no need for embarrassment. Kurt was just accelerating a bunch of us teenagers into the Lucky Ten Thousand ahead of whatver schedule we would have been on without him.

Not normally a roads guy, but this will take care of one of the deadly SH1 intersections that I fear most. So that's good. www.nzherald.co.nz/waikato-news...

Ok so the author of the quoted post has blocked me now, but the point is that "Why does treasury not simply factor in an imaginary new tax on wealth/sins that I don't like/land/whatever else?" is not a serious response to a pretty clear warning signal.

That's, what, 4kg of groceries in one bag? Tell 'em he's dreaming.

Yes, you would need that spelt out.

Police warn landlords after 120 cannabis grow houses shut down Police shut down 120 grow houses and say plants were largely hidden in plain sight in rental properties.

Ridiculous how much time, money and effort we devote to this nonsense.

This could be legal and taxed. Instead we spend millions doing ridiculous battle with it, and drive all the profits to criminal gangs

Friendly reminder to any other dipshits out there that it's not Treasury's job to invent imaginary new taxes in their long-term fiscal statements. The entire idea is to project current settings into the future.

Not every piece of news has to be about him. And yet every piece of news somehow is.

Google search "auda wholesale price". First result: Link to auDA.org.au with the title ".au domain name wholesale pricing". Preview text shows that the price is $9.50. Second result: AI Overview - "There are no publicly listed wholesale prices for auDA..."

Very pleased to inform you all that Cowboy Dan's new album is out this morning. cowboydanmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dreams...

And thank YOU for the music! Fingers crossed you'll get the chance to visit our lovely part of the motu some time.

A Bluesky user self-replying: "(Not necessarily re children specially but expanding the market in off-label/untested ways before the first wave has even been properyl understood yet)".

TFW when you see the parenthisised clarification before you see the take, and it's impossible to tell what sort of horrifying thing people are posting about today.

Album review: Bots, by Pickle Darling HAMILTON UNDERGROUND PRESS

Hey, I reviewed the new @pickledarling.bsky.social album for you. www.hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/alb...

I been nerding.

Oh wait, we've got a mayoral candidate who has a policy of "borrowing from the Reserve Bank..."
*checks notes*
"...at zero interest rates."

I haven't had a close look at all the blurbs yet, but yesterday I got fliers from 5 different-but-connected candidates who all want council to (a) spend less money, and (b) employ people to chisel all the speed bumps off the roads.
