But as America continues to record multiple, daily, mass shootings, *The Onion*'s writers needed something else. Yesterday, they ran "Americans Describe What It’s Like Surviving A Mass Shooting," and oh shit is it a doozy: theonion.com/surviving-a-mas… 71/

If you’re disabled and standing as a candidate in parliamentary elections, you may be eligible for help with costs non-disabled candidates don’t face. The Election Access Fund can help with these costs, such as support people. Find out more here: elections.nz/getting-involve…
3 people are facing the camera, 1 of whom is in a yellow & black wheelchair, & 1 who has a black assistance dog. They're posing in front of a cream draped curtain, on a black mat. It says "Election Access Fund" & has the Electoral Commission logo.

Hogan's Heroes ran 1965-1971: A campy spy comedy set in a POW camp in Nazi Germany, which feels like a very weird choice. In poor taste, honestly. Learning about the actors has given me a new perspective: First, every major German character was played by a Jewish actor.
John Banner, Bob Crane, Werner Klemperer in Hogan's Heroes (1965).

I’ll keep saying this until I’m blue in the face: until recently, public holidays were an opportunity for the railways and saw massive patronage. It is frustrating that this market for travel is now totally neglected

It just depresses me that every time there's a public holiday, Te Huia between #Hamilton and #Auckland doesn't operate, including on public holiday Saturdays when it normally runs on Saturdays. Public holidays are exactly when people want to travel and are available to travel.

Hi team. So people didn't fancy buying our place at auction (fair enough, I wouldn't either) which means we have a BEO now. If you'd like to retweet that'd be rad, we're getting wildly unsuitable offers from nutty people only atm. trademe.co.nz/a/property/res…

In #NZ, we celebrate the spirit of Easter by cancelling every single inter-regional train in the North Island, home to three quarters of the nation’s population. After all, who would want to travel anywhere on a four day public holiday weekend? – at Auckland, New Zealand
