Just in case you were wondering how Labour are going in Wellington old.reddit.com/r/Wellington...
ben4takapu Ben McNulty - Wgtn Councillor [score hidden] 21 minutes ago Cr Chung has never been one to hold back in his critique and judgement of other elected members and his perception of their performance. I am comfortable with him being given an opportunity to demonstrate his competency and leadership ability in a small committee with virtually no decision making authority over the next 18 months

Ted Danson wearing a suit in his role as Michael in The Good Place. The caption reads “ People who have been on the Internet since Usenet:” and Michael is saying “yeah yeah the felching we’ve all seen it”

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope an' throw an' brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin':
Be waitin' at the end of my ride

Jimmy Reptile and all his friends
Say they're gonna be with you at the end
Burning records, burning books
Holy soldiers, Nazi looks
Crocodile smiles, just wait awhile
Till the TV queen gets her makeup clean
I've lived in filth, I've lived in sin
And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that

Traditional working-class Britain.
A picture of a coal miner, in his work gear, sitting on a 44 gallon drum. Standing beside him is a professional wrestler in make up, wearing high heels, and a cape, with long blond hair. He is looking to the sky past the camera. The photo is captioned "Adrian Street, a Welsh professional wrestler, pictured with his father, a coal miner. A picture inside a coal mine. One man is leaning against pit equipment and wearing coal miner's clothing. Another is wearing high heeled boots, silver trousers, a pink-purple faux silk shirt, a purple cape with fur shoulders, heavy make-up, and platinum blond hair. Behind them are a group of miners in a lift, wearing their high-vis.

xavantina.tumblr.com/tagged/murde... is an absolute treasure trove of "I am seen/I have been attacked"
A screen cap of the Murderbot TV series. The titular character is sitting amongst the PresAux humans who are all paying attention to it. The caption reads "Study: 'Truly Being Seen' still tanks among worst possible experiences in human existence"

A still from the TV series Murderbot with the titular character looking haunted. An Onion headline has been pasted on “Man’s Neuroses Really Putting Genuine Compliment Through The Wringer”

Arm for scale:

Mini basically popped out of Kiki's Delivery Service:
Mini, a small black cat, looking up at the camera like a character from a Japanese animation. The same extremely small cat looking at the camera while bread boxing on top of a small cat tower.

Fortunately these two have no idea that I am decorating things with Other Cats
Mini, a very small black cat. Tui, her much more bear-shaped sister. Also black, but with a splash of white on her chest. She is standing on a desk, by a speaker.

An American opossum laying on the ground with its eyes closed. Around it are other opossums at a party. One is saying to another "he's fine he just plays dead when he's having enough socialising"

Certain US newspapers are just ripping off old cartoons
Two scenes from Bojack Horseman: the first is a talk-show host asking "Has the concept of women having choices gone too far"; the second is the host with three guests, announcing "We've assembled this diverse panel of white men in bow-ties to talk about abortion"

Of course they'd probably sound better if I did something about that rats' nest of cabling
A pair of Fosi Z3 amplifiers flanking a Soncoz DAC. The rest of the mess is best not described.

Me, coming out at lunchtime:
A picture of a baby bird by Joshua Barkman from his False Knees comic. The bird is stating "There's absolutely no reason for it to be this bright".

Uh oh.
The bluesky notification badge, currently reading "30+ notifications". This can mean anything from "a bunch of people liked a clever thing you said" to "you are today's main character." It's like your boss telling you "can we have a chat this afternoon?"
