My kid’s school has a dress up day on Thursday. The theme is famous painters or paintings and I’m seriously considering just lining her up outside and throwing random paints at her, then hanging a sign around her neck with ‘Jackson Pollock’ written on it.

On behalf of all the generations who will have to foot the bill for this bin fire - thanks, fuckwits.

Personally think we should consider making this not just the way it is

If a wealthy sex offender donates a large amount of money to charity, should they be eligible for a reduced prison sentence?

A top King’s Counsel says it’s not unusual for a court to award a sentence discount for reparation or compensation.

Does that put a rich criminal in a better position at sentencing than someone with less money?

“Yes, and that’s just life. That is just the way it is,” Marie Dyhrberg, KC, told the Herald

Designating difficult to define groups as terrorist organisations seems a slippery slope to me.
How easy is it going to be to silence and lock away your opponents by simply labelling them Antifa?

Also, feel for those few remaining WW2 vets waking up to suddenly find out they’re terrorists.

Wait, you’re telling me the President used his spot at a memorial service to walk out to fireworks, and then pre-announced and announcement for a cure for autism?

It’s going to be drinking bleach and finding a way to shine bright light inside the body again, isn’t it…

That tune is a certified banger. I remember watching it on Sesame St as a kid and being absolutely awed by it. Still love it today.

Potentially odd request - I need a particular power adapter for an old guitar effects unit, and am having one hell of a time trying to find one.
If anyone know where I can find a 9vAC 1.3A one, with an NZ/AU plug, I would be very grateful.

DC ones are everywhere. AC not so much.

Powered my way through The Narrow Road to the Deep North over the last two nights.
Not sure I’ve watched something that harrowing in a long time. Finished the last ep at about 12:30 last night, but couldn’t bring myself to just go to bed straight after.

Actually, the other highlight was my flight back last night being delayed by almost two hours because someone on the inbound flight had to be removed before takeoff for being too drunk.
Ground crew had to empty the entire luggage hold for their bags and cat, then reload it all before taking off 😂😂

Bizarre behaviour. My point is always that if an emergency vehicle is held up by 30 seconds people can actually die, if Karen and Kevin are late to lunch by 30 seconds absolutely no one is going to notice.

Spent a couple days back in Auckland for work this week.
The highlight definitely being the couple behind me at some lights getting on the horn and gesticulating wildly because I stopped to let a fire engine with full lights and sirens through ahead of me.
Some things never change 😂

Does get a bit hard to remember that sometimes, particularly with how manic everything feels lately.
I’ve kind of avoided this place for a while because of how cooked everything is, and I find it hard not to get caught up in it all.
