I know this is one of the few things I ever post about, but I just love Jet Lag: The Game. I think it’s one of the best shows on television. Up there with Widow’s Bay and Bob’s Burgers.

Really hoping that Meta breaks the Online Safety Bill so we can finance our country for the next few decades.

It is very funny that the president of Vietnam is arriving today. Really sorry, dude. Do you want to meet, like, Art and Matilda instead? And we can do the PM stuff another time?

Playing Horizon Forbidden West and realising that I learn a lot of my American geography from post-apocalyptic video games.

I did not realize that a large part of The Onion buying InfoWars was about getting the Sandy Hook families the money they were supposed to have gotten from the lawsuit against Jones, and honestly that's some top-tier human decency right there?

I think it's weird that we are the only people who call yams yams, and I think everyone else is right to discourage the eating of yams. (They taste bad to me and are the wrong kind of sweet for a vegetable.)

Text from Wikipedia reading "These tubers are known as uqa in Quechua, oca in Spanish, yams in New Zealand and several other alternative names."

I was on the phone this morning with one of the women who has told her story for the Sir Rod Drury/Xero investigation when a media release arrived in my inbox, taking me straight back to 1986..

Gang, where should I take my parents to dinner in Tāmaki Makaurau? We went to Cazador last time, which is like our favourite place. Any similar recommendations?

Don’t know if anyone else on here plays Minute Cryptic, but shit this is a good clue!

After our rising concern about the plans for services and timetables when City Rail Link opens, it's great to see things are starting to get back on track. In today's post, a new map and other detailed updates from our meeting with Auckland Transport: www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2026/04/30/c...

Can this please be the norm in video games now? I didn't grow up with video games. I don't instinctively know that the A button is the one to the right. But I do if you show me the layout.

A screenshot from Breath of the Wild, telling you to use the A button to interact with an object (in this instance, to take it). Helpfully, next to the A button are the other three buttons (X, Y and B) laid out as they are on your controller.

It is time for us, as a nation, to come together and standardise our pints. It is OK if we decide that when you order a "pint" you get 425mL, but we must have consistency.

Did Mark Zuckerberg see the (financially) successful worlds of Fortnite and Roblox and think he could replicate that for adults, without considering that 1) kids might play more games than adults and 2) no part of his Metaverse looked like it even involved fun games?

Watching Theroux's new doc and surprised by how *clearly* vulnerable these guys are. I just thought the bravado would be stronger.

If you're a powerful creative person, a moment will always arrive when you can do something a little brave that will help people, or refuse to. The book I'm working on right now is in part a history of who did what. All I'll say about this is, it never gets forgotten. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...
