Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

Dad was a country fan so my parents took us to see Dolly & Kenny live at Mt Smart Stadium in 1987, just after we moved to Auckland, when I was 13. My 2nd ever proper gig. Loved that show, and was glad to discover Dolly was, and remained, a wonderful human who lived an impactful life #RIP

I just finished an enjoyably slow Sat morning read of Sam Neill's autobiography a few months back, followed by a subsequent dive back into his filmography to catch up on films I hadn't seen at the time or for a long while... So he's been in my mind a lot of late, and now for a while longer 😢

The loss of Sam Neill feels like a national moment, a bit like Billy T. He gave us many iconic roles, some great Central Pinot Noir, and spoonfuls of lockdown 'decompression medicine'. Moe mai rā e te rangatira 😢
