The list of entertainment folks born today would be a hell of an ensemble cast (directed by Pedro Amoldòvar)

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Street style

Anyone know what's going in on Woodward St? Is it a vodka place? (Going by the distillery and branded bottles)

This country used to have real heroes

some of us still believe in the promise of a better future some of us out here refusing to give up on the dream of building a dinotopian society

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1654

feel like slim and fat chance should be a different amount of chance

They're making the sunsets transgender!

i still get the occasional like on this one

oh. don't call it that

So much of what we now know and understand about bird conservaton comes from this taonga. Vote for the Karure Black robin in this year's Bird of the Year www.birdoftheyear.org.nz/black-robin

A+ content from The Onion as usual

I got four! My gf, who is younger and hence should be cooler, only got three

Enrich a movie by adding your pick for #BirdOfTheYear (ok not my actual pick) The Kea Bears Movie (1985)

If I won lotto I would tell anyone but there'd be signs bringatrailer.com/listing/1941...

Had a really stupid idea based on another meme I just made and so i had to make this, i am sorry

Saw this thing (left) and my brain forced me to make this other thing (right)

PSA for anyone who likes hilariously cringeworthy tat: the faux-neon signs with cheesy slogans from the failed “Cocktail Corner” bar are on sale at the second hand shop at the top of Taranaki St.

A defining moment in our history. 44 years ago, a lone Cessna flew over a packed stadium during the 1981 Springbok tour, dropping flour bombs to protest South Africa's apartheid. Outside the stadium, protesters and police clashed. Iconic.

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

"Backdoor Lover" by DuJour is the opening number, a mega-hit within the fiction of the film, and perfectly sets the tone for the rest of a brilliant movie. If this is the excuse you need to watch/re-watch Josie & the Pussycats, you're welcome.

the scenario we all feared

I am DELIGHTED by this hall cosplay from Dragon*Con! THEY HAVE A PEPPER BAR!

Rock 'n' Roll Highschool (1979)

PPS, the story of how I first found Elixir is very on-brand. @hadyn.nz posted that he'd found this great bar that had opened that very day, and they had a barrel-aged Negroni and hand-cut ice cubes. I went in the following day, and have been there an average once a week ever since.

This wonderful Instagram infographic describes how the NFL remains the most watched and lucrative sport in the US (and possibly the world?) It also, in a roundabout way, is why I stopped watching rugby and currently could not name an All Black. www.instagram.com/reel/DN5yISs...

nope

'Police Sting Operation' was right there.

Spotted this properly for the first time yesterday. Its the Trivial Pursuit card from @alyankovic.bsky.social's _White and Nerdy_ music video. So much detail for something on screen for less than a second.

Hoping this doesn't fuck up my order from @artofcoop.bsky.social

@misswhanau.bsky.social If you haven't been invited already I thought you might be interested in coming along to Elixir's final night. They are one of the many venues who are closing in the current economy (Apologies for the FB link) www.facebook.com/share/1EykX9...

I'm trying to save money. I'm trying to save money. I'm trying to save money. I'm trying to save money. I'm trying to save money. I'm trying to save money. I'm trying to save money. I'm trying to save money.

Just learning about DiDi, an Uber rival. They take 18% commission (Uber takes 28%) and they charge less. There's also a bunch of codes floating around for first-user discounts. And my driver tells me all the Uber drivers he knows are on it, so loads of cars.

Fred Astaire should be an unlockable character in Tony Hawk

Well this is what happens when you fire our public servants. But at least your landlord mates and non-existent boats got funded. Way to go Luxon and Willis. Really top notch mahi. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... (paywall)

Love the art work of teams handing in their tie break answers

Be careful, there is a new scam going around. If you see a wooden box filled with food, DON'T GO IN. A wall will fall behind you and you'll be stuck.

I had a whole 50 post thread about how this pile of horseshit from Brooke van Velden is poorly written, makes no coherent points and shows she doesn't understand how much time costs. But instead let me just say that she is the dumbest slurry of earwax and cat turds I have ever seen.

Teresa Margolles, Pistas de baile, Mexico 2016. Each picture shows a transgender sex worker standing on the remains of her former workplace.

i don't care what people who never liked anything resembling an artist think about that artist

Yes! We need more high profile voices to highlight harassment and abuse against women and Māori in politics. I’m so glad Fisher has kept a light on this issue. Bravo. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

The National Government's handling of iRex should be treated as one of New Zealand's greatest political scandals. An impulsive Government got power and immediately made an ideological decision to cancel an existing project, ultimately costing hundreds of millions and creating worse infrastructure!
