Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It was the best of bits, it was the… blurst of bits?!?
Tell me again why the arts sector was scrapping over and having to repeatedly justify less than 10% of this amount of this for the performing arts precinct www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3606...
PSA:
1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly
2. If you are silly, you must stay silly
2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness
Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…
Yup. Still want to do Kell’s Vengeance but ticked off every other activity!
Alex Casey's profile for The Spinoff of an 80-something-year-old kite enthusiast / influencer on a windy day at New Brighton beach is delightfully wholesome a++++ would kite again thespinoff.co.nz/pop-culture/...

I aspire to be this eloquent. #toitūtetiriti
I just don’t get it.
Mad that the only truly bipartisan position between National and Labour is: "We refuse to implement the solution that even the international institutions of finance say would solve a huge fucking problem with our economy because Quinovic would get mad at us"
The last couple of years have given me the tools I’m probably going to need to navigate the next couple of years.
Got a great review for a show i did with some top improvisers www.theatreview.org.nz/production/t...
Have a little jolt, as a treat #nzeq
I can live with it.
Remember the ad National used a few years ago of a bunch of people in a tiny boat rowing but not getting anywhere? Not sure why that occurs to me right now…
Oh I should let myself be vulnerable? Sounds like something my enemy would say
Bought a blender at 4pm. Daughter decided to make smoothie at 10pm. Lid cap fell into rotating blades first press of the button. Hoping warranty covers this.
‘in New Zealand in 2006 there were more than 4000 journalists operating in New Zealand.
Once the current job losses are all realised, there will be fewer than 1500’
Oof. That is appalling, and dangerous for our democracy.
We all know what kind of disinformation will fill the gap.
Hearing that proposed DOC staff cuts include the role of Chief Science Advisor. Genuinely speechless at how bad this is
Working at my old Primary School and it’s disturbing how much things have changed (and how much bigger it is)
I Dune it 2 myself.
I will give that a try!
What a cunch of bunts.
