‘I have frozen my penis,’

Not a particularly dumb headline, just one on CNN that caught my attention.

Damn, I hate when that happens. That guy should do what I did and get a knitted penis-cosy.

I'm guessing this might some sort of timey-wimey thing? Never mind that the picture's from circa 1975.

^ and this: On Saturday night (local time), Kiss closed out the final performance of their The End of the Road farewell tour at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden.

Local time here? That's what they usually mean, so it was Sunday local time.

NZH headline this morning: “Hundereds in Auckland protest Gaza ceasefire”.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Newstalk ZB story just now: "PM says the Labour government mis-managed the economy abysmally".

Sounds like a double negative. So they did OK?

I am so tired of hearing one side blame the other for things. Just fix it or shut up!

True but the point here is that Luxon didn’t actually say that double negative - ZB mangled its words and tripped itself up in trying to be very negative.

There was me thinking December was a month.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

"Is it Monday or Tuesday?"

"It's December."

Or, in another version:

"Is it Monday or Tuesday?"

"Yes."

"Up to 200 properties estimated to be without wifi in mass Auckland internet outage"

-A Chorus spokesperson said planned work to move a fibre cable due to roadworks near Carrington Rd in Mt Albert resulted in a broadband outage for up to 200 homes and businesses.

I'm getting prepared for the "TikTok is down across Auckland due to a fibre break..." headline that I know is only a few years away...
