It's the haka heard around the world but why does it resonate so much with people outside of Aotearoa New Zealand?

I want you all to know that I valiantly ignored vacuuming to write this piece about yesterday's haka, haka in general, and why I think it resonates so far. #kikorangi

This afternoon we watched The Mummy Returns. During the end credits I broke the news that they’re possibly making a new sequel. His response?
“Maybe the special effects will actually be GOOD?!”
Gen Z kids be brutal.

I just got my 11 year old to watch The Mummy with me 3 days ago.
Right after the "I am a LIBRARIAN" speech he said "is that why you like this movie?"
It's ONE of many reasons.

It doesn't matter how many times I'm made aware that there was a real human woman named "Rhoda Pidgeon" who lived in Christchurch I just ALWAYS find it funny.
That she got married to a William Haglund, and so upgraded from an avian ride to a mechanical one is just "chef's kiss".

- Hazel Nutt

Spoiler: a jury has found the DC Sandwich Guy NOT GUILTY. But you should still read this thread about what was said in court, because it's very funny.
Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.
