Labour's victory is really important, but emotionally it feels to me less like a birthday present and more like getting a new boiler. This is a work election.

My takeaway from this week's episode of Juggernaut is that you assume there's a level of self-awareness that Richard Prebble doesn't have, and then it turns out he has even less than that.

This is one of the most dystopian signs I've ever seen. Republicans are quickly turning this country into an unrecognizable freakshow.

When will we see action from this government on far right groups using threats to force community events to close? Will it only be when one of them takes the call of "time to kill" literally? thespinoff.co.nz/society/02-0...

You have to move people. Honestly, if your prose is so-so and I care about what’s happening, we’re good. If you’re building a perfect palace of words and it’s cold and empty, I’ll probably leave your book on the bus.

The patient's name is Sarah. Voice recognition keeps calling her Emma. This is just like being at home with mum, where people would just run through every female family member's name until you hit the right one. "Marion Rachael Sarah Emma!"

I believe, it is just possible, that Fujitsu Dude just got a bollocking from On High and might, just possibly, come and fix the heat pump this afternoon. Having worked in customer service, and being hugely conflict-averse, I HATE being the squeaky wheel

Toby Manhire's Juggernaut podcast on the 4th Labour government is Just So Very Good. Stuff I knew, stuff I didn't know, stuff I'd forgotten, so brilliantly delivered.

Just to note, in my ongoing war of attrition with Fujitsu, their customer service number is not an 0800 number. I had to pay for the time they kept me on hold

It amuses me that the biggest cheerleader for our Daphne Perfume Princess (bred by my Mark) is Jimmy Barnes. He has been posting his delight with it for several years now as he picks bunches to share with neighbours.

All drugs have two names, the generic and the brand, like paracetamol and Panadol. Whenever there's a "grass roots" campaign for drug funding, it's always for a brand, Keytruda not pembrolizumab. This is the difference between saying the govt should fund vacuums and saying they should fund Dysons
