FA Cup Winner Matt Turner. I like him a lot until he tries to kick the ball. It doesn't go well often enough.

This article sums up what appear to be two main threads in this government: the rejection of expert knowledge and the love of money. Neither of those improves the well being of the majority of Kiwis. Much has been written over the ages about those two traits. #NZPOL

A welcome return for an all-timer

A local builder refuses to use screws as they are a tool of our capitalist oppressors or something. I think he's a nailist.

This American Psycho v Ghostbusters 2 crossover event looks rather less appealing than I'd hoped.

Using the wind to generate electricity is brilliant. Stick it in my vanes.

We'll all look very stupid if it turns out that caking on overpriced bronzer is a great way of decreasing facial recognition software.

I suppose I should be pleased it's not crypto. I had to check this wasn't a parody site first.

They'll end up deporting half the USMNT.

Procrastination sounds too positive. I'm a concrastinator.

There have been a few positive observations about the LAPD and how they were less bad than ICE. That could have gained momentum if they had immediately apprehended this piece of work.
