@HenryGJeffreys Kicker. "Surely every self-respecting son of a Tory minister has a drug problem. Consumption itself is only interesting to the consumer. Everyone else craves context."
Skux – I don’t think anyone knows exactly where it came from but a bunch of us gave it a crack, and whatever it means Sam Neill was it! nytimes.com/2026/07/18/wor…
Very sad. A very decent, funny man. And what an actor: Sleeping Dogs, Evil Angels, Death in Brunswick (!), Piano, Jurassic Park, Event Horizon (!), Cinema of Unease, Wilderpeople. And a really good memoir. RIP Sam. rnz.co.nz/life/people/ce…
Books include Colson Whitehead, AA Dhand, Sherryl Clark, Yrsa Sigurdardottir, Ben Bramble on the race into space, and Rachel Aviv on the mother-daughter bond

I always get a kick out of this sort of chart. 'Yeah, the country is doing [good/bad] because my guy is [in/out] of power.'

Erling Haaland, Norway’s large, maniacal striker, has several exceedingly Norwegian traits. He sometimes exercises by chopping wood in the forest. He consumes 6,000 calories a day. After training sessions, he drinks raw milk. He owns a tax-sheltered investment company in Luxembourg named Pillage. He bought an edition of the “Heimskringla,” a 13th-century Old Norse saga, for $130,000—then donated it to his local library because, he explained, “I’ve never been much of a reader.” He has flowing blond hair, often compared to a Viking’s. He brings the intensity of a raiding party to the sport. Haaland scores goals at a higher rate than almost any soccer player ever. He has said, “I think of football all the time.” His wake-up alarm plays the theme song for the Champions League. He once posted a photo of himself on a plane, staring ahead intensely, with the caption “Just raw dogged a 7 hour flight no phone no sleep no water no food only map.” The Guardian once called him a “ravenous Nordic goal-yeti.” Haaland’s style of play elicits not wonder but terror. He is enormous: six feet five, 200 pounds, about the size and speed of the N.F.L. wide receiver Randy Moss. “Watching him, I sometimes find myself giggling as I might over a big, obscene crash at a demolition derby,” Zach Helfand writes.

Great news “The take-off and landing of a helicopter is an activity not provided for within the residential-mixed housing suburban zone of the Auckland Unitary Plan and falls to be determined as a non-complying activity.” nzherald.co.nz/business/oppon…

They also loved the 'random overseas visitor gives sweeping opinions on New Zealand' genre.
Boomer journos love lecturing young reporters about how they used to write 3-5 stories every day. Meanwhile 20th century New Zealand newspapers were full of stories like this:
Books include Booker winner Douglas Stuart's new novel John of John, an inside account of the NZ justice system, a new history of Kiwi zines, Lauren Keenan's latest & a wild cosmic horror
