Upside down Guy Picciotto from Fugazi thoughtlessly damaging a basketball hoop

I wish I could enjoy this photo, but I was playing basketball at that gym the next day and missed a free throw because the hoop was slightly bent. That was the end of my NBA dreams.

Petrol prices jump past $3 a litre at the pump The price of 95 petrol has hit $3 in some parts of the country as conflict in the Middle East pushes up oil prices.

1. Ban VPNs and all the bits of the internet that worried middle-class mums, primary school teachers, and government ministers don't like
2. Govt establishes new KiwiVPN service that you can only log into using your RealMe, that lets you use the internet as normal
3. ???
4. Profit!

Where is this though? Smuggling booze into Cookie Time?

Woke up at 330 anyway and no regrets so far!

A 230am alarm is a bad idea, right?

Crazy idea… what if we ran our energy system on cheap electricity so petrol prices don’t leave people panicking anymore??? wellyclimatenerd.net/the-race-to-...

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off

"The site reveals that in Dunedin North, home to the city’s large student population, some 600 properties have been added, with an average rating of 2.9, and average rent of $665."

One of those numbers is really low and one of those numbers is really high and they're not in the order I'd prefer.

So jealous of this one.

Same place wouldn’t provide us with a mailbox because ‘there was no point.’
