It’s premiere day for Avatar Fire and Ash here in Wellington - the huge red carpet is out on Courtenay Place to celebrate all the folks from this city who worked so hard on making the film. Fair enough too!!! It’s a stunning blue sky day… Too bright for a drones like Paris! youtu.be/Nr5jMc8Hk-Q

Sloppy, and disrespectful of the hard work building this story… and demeaning of their own investment. WTAF. Sigh.

Rachel Aviv reviewed four decades’ worth of Oliver Sack’s journals—many of which had never been read before. What she found reveals how the neurologist’s own stories shaped the ones he told about his patients.

This is fabulous! Kate is an extraordinary human and a joy to work with. Couldn’t be happier for her 👻

Can’t beat getting back to your core objective for narrative. This should be fun.

No work tonight. Not asleep (yet). Just a flash back to some happy noises…

Second only to Angular Momentum (which remains the most exquisite moment, my fave for oh so long). What a wondrous thing today’s @xkcd.com is. Thank you again Randall. Hope and love are so important to retain. xkcd.com/3172/

Film, documentary maker Costa Botes dies after nearly a decade with cancer

Vale Costa. Thank you for challenging me, and for an amazing gentle, determined, and expansive night talking about dogs… but really about being humane. Class.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

I love how the 80s discography of The Cure is basically the story of a depressed goth who finds his soulmate and discovers genuine happiness and joy.

Every. Single. Time.

Lots of Pōneke fun this week!

Awesome thread. Awesome film. Great use of my render time!!!

Good day to search on Rosalind Franklin, based on most of the headlines I’ve seen…

Legendary Ngāti Porou filmmaker Lee Tamahori dies

Good morning. I don't know who did this, but I love you.

I love their films but A24 is simply an impractically small paper size

For all my mates heading into the #BATS and #RadioActiveFM fun / fundraiser tonight blow the roof off those zones. Figuratively that is 😎. For the rest of us there’s the livestreams on www.radioactive.fm to look forward to 👻

For this reason alone, I am re-posting 😜

I genuinely adore my American colleagues but oh but they’re never going to cope with a five-day-test right???!!!

PSA #Wellington and #nziff friends. The wonderful Guillermo del Toros #frankenstein is out in a frustratingly small number of screenings around the city through this weekend. So it you want to see it in a cinema — and you should — get in before they all sell out.

Everyone loves the "Shitsville" wheel for Wellington seasons but let me now share with you the 12 seasons of Melbroune (courtesy of my colleagues there) pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/don...

If we can chuckle with our cousins across the ditch at their Juice Media Govt ads, then we can do the same with ours, right? Heh heh youtu.be/h-yjkAXxnMA

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

This is my local beach, and it’s Absolutely Positively changed in fundamental character now at High Tide.

8 years ago, ‘BLADE RUNNER 2049’ released in theaters.

Physics Nobel announcement tomorrow. If you know and dislike a famous physicist, this is the day of the year to call them up in the middle of the night, wait 10 seconds, and then do you best Swedish Chef impression...

I kinda… like this idea… even though I’ve not lived in the 09 for freaking AGES

I’m sure a million people will post this but I’ve always loved this cartoon. Apparently she loved it too. Every interview I inhaled with her seemed to have a profound sense of humour despite the challenges she inspired us to take up. Vale.

Tonight’s cricket is firmly on the tradie d’n’b vibe… and honestly that’s spot on. It really is the sound of a lot of Kiwi summers!
