My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

You’ll be too young to remember, but there was a time when you could wake up as many as three mornings in a row and not find the world had lost its fucking mind.

Found myself agreeing with Winston Peters about the lack of respect and decorum in parliament though we have probably come to different conclusions about who is most at fault thespinoff.co.nz/politics/20-...
Winston Peters is right about parliament’s declining standards
One MP in particular has been at the heart of the decline, and his name rhymes with Shminston Smeeters.

Excerpts from Nicola Willis & Erica Stanford’s third reading speeches in FAVOUR of the landmark Equal Pay Amendment Bill.
The government should be ashamed of this surprise attack on women under urgency in their fight for equal pay.

The White Ferns! Happy to eat some humble pie there, I thought it would be a massive achievement for them to reach the semis let alone the final.

Congratulations to the 'Boks, was close in the end but deserved rugby WC champions. Rub of the green (aka TMO) didn't go our way today, but still an amazing effort to take it to the wire.
