🎼🎵🎶Night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me?
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell?

Six six six, the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released🎶🎶🎵🎶

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

I was working as a bank teller in Australia when there was an initiative to train frontline staff to be software developers, to harness our strong domain knowledge.

I applied, passed the intensive aptitude tests, underwent a crash course in computer programming, and a new career path was forged.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

This was such a fun photo to set up, taken by Thomas Reiter through a sleep station window on Mir. The sun was so bright we were all squinting like crazy. But I love how it shows the texture of the Shuttle's rough, protective hide, and the glimpse of humanity (and my moustache) against the universe.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Oooh! The new Spock's Beard album has dropped!

I'm sharing so they are legally obligated to tour down here, as is my understanding from their FB post. 🤘😆🤘

I'll just note this inquiry has noted that with 20/20 hindsight the UK should have acted... pretty much exactly as New Zealand did.

Which a good portion of NZ's media and political class have spent 5 revisionist years trying to paint as an overreaction. Overwhelmingly, it wasn't.

This is the ad for which Trump thinks Democratic lawmakers should be executed:

Apparently the context was Democrat senators telling members of the US armed forces that they don’t have to follow orders they know to be illegal. #nzpol #uspol
Remember that John Key said he would have voted for Trump.

THAT'S how you cover Split Enz.
