I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

This is my new album.
It's instrumental, apart from some crowd chanting on Your Gold, Mr Bridger.
The average tune length is two minutes and eight seconds.
There are fourteen tunes.
It sounds like old telly music.
It's ace.
I'd love it if you listened.
I've love it even more if you shared it.

Christopher Luxon can work from home if he wants to; we should all have the opportunity to do that, but it’s his government’s policy that working from home is less productive and therefore they want to restrict public servants from enjoying the same entitlements. Its the raging hypocrisy, stupid!

Mortal Kombat: The Series
They got word of cancellation just before the end of filming. So the last episode ends with the bad guys winning, all the main heroes killed off and Raiden imprisoned in the shadow realm.
It's hilarious watching a "Hercules but more side-boob" show SUDDENLY go super-dark.

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:
