Alright music nerds here one for you.

My partner remembers and album she used to listen to in the 2000s

Key features
- a bit like interpol
- cover with a building with lights on, dark blue + dark grey
- she thought it was Wilco (but that's probably just the album cover)

Anyone playing Arc Raiders this weekend in NZ? Are you able to get on currently?

Anyone want to do a non-spotify version of this playlist?

O'Brien POTD Dave DeBusschere. Detroit guy was local pick in 62. Also pitched in MLB. Was player-coach but traded in 68-69 to NY where he put them over the top. Retired in 74. Per bio: "quenches thirst by swallowing 6-pack of beer in record time." HOFer + also drafted Ewing. RIP.

Am I too late to pour scorn on an article which is ostensibly about a wahine Māori MP going barefoot for her maiden speech, but mentions men-wearing-ties *13* times? ("shoes" rates 4 mentions)

Greens warn Gerry Brownlee over becoming 'fashion police'

The Speaker has given MPs a dressing down over falling standards around leave, attendance and dress.

Yeah I feel this, I was being a silly goose but I also think that i'm old enough to be bouncing around in my own feeds looking for weird stuff? I can probably dig a little deeper then this, let folks have fun. I don't need to hear some bands

Powerful move of kindness you can do at work almost every day is when someone junior or outside your department goes “I have a dumb question” and then asks a totally reasonable question, hit em with a “not at all a stupid question” or “actually great question” and then answering it.
