I see the pink tax is alive and well at Sea Bands, where women get to pay extra for the privilege of a colour that isn't dark grey and so, I must assume, works better for their gender somehow?

It’s been revealed that the NZ govt is doing a deal with Trump to give the US access to critical minerals.
This could mean vast strip-mining of the Taranaki seabed for vanadium to build US weapons.
We have to stop them.

Just did my usual “I’ll spend 5 minutes getting these weeds just here before it gets hot.” 30 minutes later…

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Tonight was supposed to be cheeseboard for dinner, but he got called back into work. At 8pm I still hadn’t heard from him so put the cheeses away and dinner became rocket and sundried tomatoes on toasted sourdough with pesto.
