@No-Quarter hah! Love the morons getting offended by what seems a genuine post. Yeah like gay people never joke about going straight.
And the fact that former teammates were so quick to say "well done mate bet you feel better now" as if they suspected it all along.

still in shock that the Herald have put up a motherfucking paywall hahahaha. Would've loved to be a fly on the wall at their frantic titanician meetings...
"We have to. We're fucking desperate. Put the fucking paywall up and rebrand as 'world class premium content' or some bullshit. Yeah, we'll still have the same garbage stories about lost cats in Timaru etc. It's fucking financial desperation. No one's been paid since November. We are fucked, the whole industry of 'journalism' is fucken dying worldwide, there's no point to our stupid little business enterprise at all any more when people can just go to facebook or twitter to get their news. For fucks sake, that's what we do here anyway, lug over some tweet, tart it up a bit, publish it as 'news'. Yes, it takes an unmitigated gall to even call it news let alone start charging people fucking money for it but we've just got to bank on grannies, thick fluffybunnies and lowest common denominators pulling us through here. I am SURE that after we put this paywall up people won't just immediately click off over to stuff.co.nz to get exactly the same fucken stories anyway. Sure of it. Yeah. This'll work."Hahahahaha I had a look a few hours back and they had teasers for articles, you get half way through and they ask you to pay for the rest.
So I deleted the herald from my phone, I've still got stuff and the guardian to moan about so I won't miss it. -

There is nothing that isn't utterly hilarious about the whole thing really

Heaven forbid pensioners get too much heating subsidy this winter if it means convicted crims can’t look up porn in prison.

It's a horrible feeling watching your country turn from sensible and pragmatic to a bunch of fearful pussies in a month:

I still can't believe there's a 10 year, life ruining, piece of legislation for having a document illuminating a true event, widely available worldwide, on your phone. You conceivably could get less for rape or murder!

@jegga "showcasing NZ's best journalism and commentary"
If that didn't give everyone a good snort chuckle, nothing will. Who do they think will really pay for shit from Twitter or other social media sources/other newspapers?
There should be a market for that sort of aggregator. I don't have time to sift through it all for the interesting stuff. I have to work.

TV1 Breakfast has gotten rid of muppet Jack Tame and replaced with John fucking Campbell...I gotta say I think he has been doing well, is amusing...I feel dirty.
this morning was good.
He wanders off camera and does his own thing, came back and sat down and they said why dont you just bring your breakfast on camera and eat it, you (implying him in particular being a big shot) can do whatever you like around here...Campbell replied..I tried that on TV3, look where that got me!

Didn't read past the headline "what mum and her undies taught me about being yourself".

I managed to read about half of it whilst, appropriately, having my morning dump. Basically it’s an incredibly moving story about a woman and her mum who like buying undies together.

Disney wrote off its investment in Vice media which amounts to $ 343 million as a loss . Shane Jones claimed on Joe Rogan that it was worth $5 billion back in 2015 .
Amazon is going to be putting money into Buzzfeed to try and use them as an advertising platform. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s possible for the content on Buzzfeed to get worse . I think they can manage it.
