I was really surprised and a little sad she didn’t play Fuck Me Eyes last night. But, amazing show.

If time travel isn’t a thing how come George Michael managed to appear in this photograph captured in Robert Frank’s book The Americans 1958, Fishkill NY (Newburgh) 1955.
Of all the weird shit served up by the algorithms on FB today, the grossest was an ad for a few free chapters of a book by former corporate raider and now convicted pedophile Ron Brierley. HARD NOPE.
Fuck’s sake, someone has just started chainsawing as I hit Send
Why is every motherfucker in my immediate neighbourhood using a weedeater or a leaf blower or a petrol mower AT THE SAME TIME right now?
* Wet Leg - another band I really like, but who I was a bit underwhelmed by
* Wolf Alice - really great, but I’m angry they didn’t play Delicious Things
* Chappell Roan - absolutely outstanding act. A bit more “rock” than on record with a kick-ass band
My very brief Laneway review:
* Wisp - really great 90s-throwback shoegaze, worth getting there early for
* Alex G - I really like his music but didn’t feel like a “festival band” and was a bit underwhelmed
* Lucy Dacus - absolute class act, would see her again in a second
The Free Speech Union didn't exist when black ppl couldn't speak.
The Free Speech Union didn't exist when LGBTQ ppl couldn't speak.
The Free Speech Union didn't exist when disabled ppl couldn't speak.
The Free Speech Union existed when racist white ppl were asked to keep their racism to themselves.
That Viagra Boys shot was the sweatiest gig I’ve been to since the 90s.
My favourite thing is when the rugby story is the lead story on the news and then gets completely rehashed 20 minutes later in the sports news
I don't know about all of you, but I am finding it difficult to process Venezuela, Greenland, Minneapolis, and the Fed all at once.
The new Trump line is that if you "disrespect" a law enforcement officer, he is entitled to murder you... unless it's Jan 6, of course, in which case the protester is entitled to murder the law enforcement officer.
NO ONE LOVES DOG MORE THAN DANIELLE
Returning to an old favourite. The pink line is the official GDP data (% change for year vs previous year). The wild swings are due to Govt *subsidies* (e.g. wage subsidies) being deducted from the official GDP stats. The blue line shows the unadjusted data; far better reflects reality.
Like, deep down does he *know* he’s shit, or is he actually dumb / delusional enough to think he’s “working hard”?
ALOHA FROM TE PUKE
Look, if you’re not hand-making your own single-batch artisanal toilet paper are you even ethical?
Yeah it’s day-fucking-seven. I want a follow up to this article in October.
Meanwhile the same supermarket has not had apples for a week. APPLES.
Fucking hot cross buns in January
Supermarkets: “It’s January 8th, TIME TO START SELLING HOT CROSS BUNS”
Not threatening war with fucking DENMARK of all places
It’s January 8th. Is Luxon back at work?
Just a few weeks ago our “hard working” PM was bemoaning NZ’s long summer shutdown. Yet he’s been completely absent from fronting on either Venezuela or the Manage My Health data breach. Is he still uncontactable / on holiday?
I know everyone is on holiday, but I’m surprised no NZ journo has done a story on Amanda Palmer’s attempt at playing a show in Auckland this week. Both Waiheke venues “mysteriously” canceled and now it’s a “secret” show somewhere in the CBD tomorrow.
I am pretty livid that I haven’t had an actual email from MMH or my MMH-using-GP yet.
Not if they go straight in the trash when I’m done detangling
The first 90 minutes of taking down the Christmas decorations - taking down ALL the decorations. The second 90 minutes of taking down the Christmas decorations. Untangling this one set of lights.

I chose not to go camping this summer because the weather looked awful. I have chosen to not go camping every other summer of my life because camping sucks.
