‘KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ is the first movie soundtrack in over 45 years to have 3 songs simultaneously in the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100.

The last film to hit this milestone was ‘SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER’ in 1978.

Inclined to think that everything currently strangely expensive in Aotearoa is going to be sold to foreign investors in the next 6-12 months.

@pepperraccoon.bsky.social these are going to make some people very happy, and your packaging made me smile.

I currently have 669 followers here on BlueSky. It would be kind of nice to start the new year off by hitting 700. If you like my work, or my words, would you mind telling a friend, by sharing this post?

That's a lot of rain, AKL skies.

I love the idea that maybe sleep is the purpose of your life and being awake is the inconvenient but necessary disturbance.

A slightly weird thing about using a dating app in NZ is that you're 'rubbing shoulders' with people from both around the corner and on the tele. Recently I've seen a former MP, a celebrated performer, and one of my medical people.

Stimming: I was cutting my 7yr old's fingernails and she started stimming, just like I've seen many times, but never before while I was holding her hand. Always assumed there was more volition or control in it but this felt really like uncontrolled, involuntary twitches. Curious.

Farewell and bravo to the government that worked so hard to save so many of its citizens' lives

I am autistic & I found this video about the monotropism model of autism very relatable. (which is not the same as saying it's the most scientifically robust - I haven't read enough to know that) I know late-diagnosed people like me can sound like we've joined a new religion but this stuff feels big

Today I overheard a political party tv advertisement that claimed "the only way to change the Government is to vote for ..." and because that's just not true, I looked up that phrase and found Nicky Hager wrote about it in 2007. www.nickyhager.org/finance-bill... and traced it to Brethren. Weird.

We have a new open-access paper out in Neurodiversity comparing how autistic and non-autistic adults view their own personalities and their personality preferences in other people. Descriptors like “awkward” are not socially undesirable for all people! t.co/Z78VWXP5Cn

Nova Scotia decides to clear its ADHD and ASD assessment waiting lists by contracting private psychologists www.caddra.ca/new-nova-sco... @roryreckons.bsky.social

The joy of 'Sex Education' on Netflix returning for another season... what strikes me is the soundtrack a no dcthe actual timing of songs. The emotional precision is quite a thing.
