Surprised to hear from me again?

Well, I’ve decided to check in with y’all and see how shit’s going. Tomorrow will have been 13 years since the first post was put up, so I’m doing a Yogi Award ceremony. First one is for a young woman who has been smarter than the average jobseeker, for she has won praise from MPs after she petitioned Parliament for laws requiring recruiters be honest with applicants they turn down for jobs. Ana Briggs from St Heliers in Auckland petitioned Parliament after applying for multiple jobs, but in almost every case recruiters didn’t even bother to acknowledge her applications. MPs on Parliament’s Petitions Committee praised Briggs for her efforts and determination, but declined to recommend new laws, with ACT MP Nicole McKee saying: “You can’t legislate courtesy”. Yes you can but of course you shouldn’t have to.

Goodbye to all that

Sorry to disappoint you all like that, but I just don’t have the drive to keep making daily posts that I did back in 2010. After almost a month of radio silence on my part, I have decided to stop Disseminators of the Truth. So again, goodbye to all that. And for those toughing out Dry July, just remember there is hope:

JACK SPARROW WINS!

But enough about that because multiple doctors have warned men and women to stop peeing in the shower, revealing the long-term impact the habit can have on your bladder. In a video on TikTok, urogynaecologist Dr Teresa Irwin shared her take on the controversial subject – explaining that while you will correctly empty your bladder by standing up, it can also train your brain to release urine every time you hear running water. "You don't want to do it all the time because what happens is every time you hear the sound of water, your bladder is going to want to pee – because it's used to hearing the sound of the water in the shower," Irwin said. "So whenever you're washing your hands, washing the dishes, your bladder is going to be salivating, so to speak, because it wants to go and pee."

Just one induction to the Sick Phoque Club this month

New Zealand Music Month may be ending (see what I did there?), but the real problem is the media keeping y’all happily distracted with Depp v Heard while we still don’t know who the lady in this photo was trafficking minors to.

ALP RULES, LNP DROOLS

Labor's Anthony Albanese will be Australia's next Prime Minister after voters turned away from the Liberal Party in droves in Saturday's election. Albanese said he was "ready to serve" and that he wanted to unite the country after leading his party to victory. But whether Albanese and the Australian Labor Party can form a majority government was still unknown early this morning. An emotional Albanese arrived at ALP headquarters to a hero's welcome about 1.40am (NZ time). The crowd raucously shouted "Albo, Albo, Albo" as he took to the stage. If it can be done in the “lucky country”, then surely it can be done in the land of the less and less free. AMERICA, GET OUT AND VOTE IN THE MIDTERM THIS NOVEMBER! THERE ARE RED HOUSE AND SENATE SEATS THAT NEED TO BE TURNED BLUE TOOT SWEET! ABORTION RIGHTS ARE AT STAKE, PEOPLE!

Boom-boom bankrupt fraud

That’s what April 2022’s Sick Phoque Club is all about. Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has been jailed for 2½ years for hiding £2.5 million worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts when he declared bankruptcy five years ago. He was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act, including transferring money to his former wife Barbara and estranged wife Sharlely, and acquitted on 20 other counts. “It is notable you have not shown remorse or acceptance of your guilt,” judge Deborah Taylor told him as he appeared at London’s Southwark Crown Court wearing a Wimbledon tie. “There has been no humility.” Becker, whose partner Lillian and son Noah were in court, will serve half of the sentence behind bars and the other half on licence. He owed nearly £50 million when he was declared bankrupt and he was obliged to disclose all his assets so that they could be distributed among his creditors. He concealed almost £1 million from the sale of a Mercedes car dealership in Germany as well as a house in his home town, a £700,000 bank loan, and shares in a technology firm. He used the money to pay private school fees for his children as well as shopping trips to Harrods and transferred £356,000 to nine recipients, including his ex-wife Barbara and estranged wife Sharlely. I know insolvency sucks, but the law is unfortunately the law, and Boom-boom will have some time over the next 15 months to think about that.
