Tis the season for "Best of" lists, and for me it makes sense to theme mine around music.
But because I have shown uncharacteristic restraint this year, instead of ranking my 2025 vinyl purchases, over the next few days I'll play them all, in approximate order of purchase. #VinylWrapped2025

How did your parents influence your taste in music?

If only my daughter had reached out to Dan Castellaneta for one of these after she deleted my Simpsons Hit & Run save, perhaps I would've recovered from the loss a lot sooner. 🤣
I don't think I can actually justify this as a meaningful joke, but I'm so pleased with this dumb image.

Failing to check the weather forecast ahead of their outdoor promotional event, then declaring themselves heroes for having to run out with an umbrella when it rains, seems symbolic of this government.

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

Pre-ordered the new Neal Morse Band record from @burningshed.com. Pleased to see UK shipping continues to drop, and prices are again similar (actually slightly lower) to what we pay here (NZD $85).
Also interesting to see that purchasing it from the US (via Neal's Radiant Records) was NZD $150.

Found it interesting that Luxon wasn't on during his usual 7:10AM slot on TVNZ this morning.
Found it even more interesting that he WAS on, but around 30 minutes earlier.
I imagine the audience is much smaller then. Is National's election strategy to make him less visible to voters? 🤔 #nzpol

I need to figure out how to curate this feed better. There’s far too much politics, both domestic and international, and not enough good stuff like music and gaming.

I’m excited for the CRL opening, but this highlights the complexities of harnessing this infrastructure for best performance.
Today, Matt brings data to bear on The Great Western Line to Newmarket Question.
Which is: once the CRL opens, what's the quickest way to get to Newmarket from the west? A one-seat ride... or transfer at Karanga-a-hape?
(Spoiler: almost always the latter)

Wait. Is this why the Coalition of Climate Change Deniers is refusing to give up on fossil fuels? To suck up to Trump? 🤔 #nzpol
President Trump ordered the Pentagon to purchase more coal electricity, drawing the U.S. military into his campaign to subsidize a heavily polluting fossil fuel that is struggling to compete in the marketplace.
Trump orders Pentagon to buy coal power as the polluting fuel struggles to survive
President Donald Trump signed an order directing the Defense Department to favor electricity derived from coal, expanding his campaign to prop up the fossil fuel.

And in the case of projects that were cancelled so the Toyota Corolla version (but at 2x Ferrari prices) could be pursued instead, there should also be great big fucking photos emblazoned on them to show exactly what they could've been. #nzpol
Modest proposal: all politicians pitching massive vanity infrastructure developments that may or may not make the slightest lick of economic sense must be obliged to put their names on them like the Hoover Dam so that if they turn out to be a monumental shitshow then we all know whose fault it was
