But small indie dramas don't tweak the algo as much as dinos and capes, and that's the real reason half these videos are made.

Would Aussies call that a goon chair?

Because that might increase sales.

Pod Save America | 11 Feb 2026 | Auckland Live Pod Save America hits Auckland for an unfiltered night of political analysis, humour, and live conversation with former Obama aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Tommy Vietor, and Dan Pfeiffer.

Speaking of @podsaveamerica.crooked.com the boys will be down our way early next year. One night only, and in Auckland (sorry).

My niece is 11, and already well versed in sarcasm, so I'm not sure if she was using it that way.

I mentioned 'skibidi' to my niece (11) last weekend, only to be informed that was 'old'.

She then launched into a string of words including '6 7' and 'gyatt' that made me feel like I'd chosen poorly.

It's like how Yanks call drinks... beverages. I know it's easy to just have the one term, but it's a glass of Coke, not a fancy cocktail with a little umbrella.

I like that it's an easy entry point to the Monsterverse movies. Not too weird, or too many characters.

King of the Monsters is better, but it's also a LOT for the uninitiated.

This trailer feels like playing the game by mashing the buttons while wiggling the stick...

...and I'm here for it.

It's one thing to read that toys are saying these things, but actually hearing it is f'ing wild.

Especially the rabbit's voice.

I agree with her on the ban-then-regulate plan.

EXCEPT, I want all political parties and their respective politicians to also be part of the ban until regulations are in place.

Pardon my French, but they can fuck all the way off with this bullshit.

Good thing Air NZ flies direct to Vancouver without having to stopover at LAX.

Hmm, better make those Canadian hotel bookings earlier than usual. I suspect they're going to experience and uptick in business.

Yeah, they can fuck aaaaaaall the way off with that nonsense.

On the upside, I only hear good things about visiting Canada.

I dare him to tell my niece she only needs two pencils. She'll glare at him so hard he'll never recover.

Craig Ferguson was always the best of the 'modern' hosts. He swung for the fences every night and genuinely seemed to be having a good time with his guests. Especially his fellow Scots.

Based on the background and TOS era communicator, just holding it together on some far flung outpost until the next supply ship brings something to eat other than nutrition cubes.

They're already making fairly accurate copies of the NZTA site, so ones like this will get knocked out over lunch.

Whatever happened to those rail-enabled ferries?
The milk price, public sector jobs, news on TV?
How the hell did we end up here? Somebody tell me please
These changes are hurting me

Full House - Intro [HQ]
YouTube video by Jan Schmelter Full House - Intro [HQ]

@patbrittenden.bsky.social and @emzberry.bsky.social shared a certain piece of music on tonight's #BHN and I figured I could do better.

I kept the 'upbeat' tone of the original and used the opening song for Full House for tune. Here it is for reference. Click through for the new lyrics. #nzpol
