When I was 18 I basically wrote myself a dream friends group in the form of a novel, and to this day that's the best group of friends I've ever had. #fictionalfriendsarevalid

Can US people please stop using "3rd world" as a slur. It is horrible because it dehumanises half of the planet's population and it is nauseating because over 90% of the death squad and police violence in the 3rd world comes directly from the actions of the US government.
They shot him 10 times while he was face down.
It was a 3rd world style public execution
There are now 3 vids
DHS is telling Fox the man "had a gun" and they "recovered" it.
We all saw the video. He never pulled it
owning a gun is legal in America.
why is he dead?

My 10 year old nephew had a dream that I erm... trying not to get flagged here... un-alived the orange man and honestly I was SO PROUD that dream me is such a badass.

Incredibly sad. These kids were students at my partner's old school. Rhys's sister used to teach there. I lived in Pakuranga for a few years. And another person lost came from my mum's home town.
This is how small AoNZ is, everyone is connected.

Just heard from a family member about a nightmare neighbour of theirs, absolute A-grade TWAT, totally antisocial POS. I considered the area they live in for a moment, then enquired: "white South African?"

I MUST SPEAK MY TRUTH*
The main reason I haven't jumped into any other fandoms is because when I look at the fans of other things I like I usually hate them.
*I mean I don't have to, but I wanted to have a bitch

If people add alt text to their photos then others can mute words and avoid things they don't want to see!! 😀
kermit the frog from the muppet show is standing in front of a red curtain .
Alt: Kermit the Frog standing in front of a red curtain dancing insanely with the word YAY!! in front of him. Kermy is happy because you added alt text to your picture so that not only is it more accessible, people can mute words and not see things they don't want to!!! YAY!!

Are there any TV shows you inexplicably ploughed through IN THEIR ENTIRETY before concluding that you didn't like them at all? For me they were The Sopranos and Gilmore Girls. 239 episodes of TV, what is wrong with me?

I always eyed Wikipedia dismissal with scepticism. Working in a tertiary institution and seeing "research" first hand (pre-AI) cemented that yep, Wikipedia pretty good. Now in the era of anti-knowledge, I'm a regular donor.
