Great article. I was there witnessing all this, and it was a beautiful experience. Watching my friend’s journey to reclaim his language, culminating with this, was a great moment.

I hope they’re both fired. But Hal won’t do that. He loves a mediocre season.

I hope the Yankees re-sign Belli, but it has to be at the right number for no more than 4 years, 3 preferably.

The new fencing totally ruins the waterfront. $3k per metre of fencing as well is bonkers. Councillors vote tomorrow. They really need to rethink this. #wellington #wcc www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

Got the 2025 Shattered Backboards and the leather isn’t very good. Laces feel like plastic. Always wanted this colourway but pretty disappointed with the quality. #sneakers #AJ1
