I think a lot of Gundam fans are familiar with this image of Karl Urban and Viggo Mortensen stocking up on MSiA, but did you know that both of them are wearing Viggo’s homemade No More Blood for Oil (in Japanese) t-shirts?

It’s worth it too, not just for the WP lols. Crazy how some of the best anti-Trump 2.0 media has been The Onion, People and Wired

I added 15 minutes to my commute today in order to pull over and take a picture of this Cybertruck parked in front of Hooters at 3:30pm.

I love getting The Onion in the mail each month - even better in context, with (satirical) ads, and in real life.

I've never humiliated a Big Space Pervert before, but it sounds like fun...

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype β€” it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Climate change is here. NZ isn't ready Analysis: A serious approach to climate adaptation requires reckoning with the grim reality the future holds: more storms, more floods, more heat.

NZ must reckon with the grim reality of our future: more storms, floods and heat.

This is a confronting situation. And yet, if we are to shield our communities, our infrastructure and our economy from the worst excesses of climate change, it is one we must confront.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Luxon claiming his Mum and Dad would let him stay up and watch State of Origin when it wasn't broadcast live here until 1990, and he would have been 20 years old #nzpol

A reminder for $2.7b you could put solar and batteries into every home in Aotearoa with enough money left over to put solar and batteries into every factory in South Auckland. Now that is called an investment.
