Today we’ve got a HUGE day doing press and meeting you in Auckland!!
Not a news 'story' but something I wanna start off with
I am just so incredibly in awe of the young women leading the charge in the protests over in Iran right now. From flipping off authorities to letting their hair down - or chopping it off, to standing up to the literal paramilitary. I'm just SO proud of them, and the best thing we can all do right now is lift their voices! Share what they're doing!

At least 37 killed in attack at Thai nursery
Content warning: gun violence, death
Every day I wake up, look through the news, and hope that I don't have to write another story like this. Today that's not the case, so please proceed with care.
Yesterday, at least 37 people (including more than 20 children) were killed in an attack at a childcare centre in Thailand's Nong Bua Lamphu province. The attacker, who went on to kill both his family and himself, has been identified as a former police officer who had been dismissed earlier this year and was facing trial on drug charges (he had appeared in court just hours before the attack.) There are more details here, but I really urge to you read with care if you choose to do so.
Just the most incredibly heartbreaking story and one that I don't have many words left for, except for to those families and everyone involved here - I can't imagine your pain right now, and I hope somehow you can heal.
New Episode of The Shit Show!

Filming is set to resume on Rust
Alec Baldwin has reached a settlement with the family of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was killed on the set of Rust after he fired a prop gun. Halyna's husband said that all parties believe the death was an accident, but the lawsuit, which alleged violations of industry standards has been settled without the exact terms being disclosed.
It's Friday so you get horoscopes!

Drake and Taylor Swift Rumored To Drop Diss Track About Ye and Kim Kardashian
I have no way of confirming this but I've seen the headline floating around for a few days so I thought I'd better write about it. Apparently in 2017 (or 2018) Drake and Swift recorded a diss track about Ye and Kim which was gonna feature on Taylor's Reputation album. Although she originally omitted it form the album, apparently now that she's re-recording Reputation, the song has a chance of seeing the light of day... guess we'll have to wait and see!
Yesterday's mundane poll: do you prefer being the driver or the directions giver?
I am so bad with maps that I ALWAYS prefer to be the driver, but only with a really good directions giver (like Rubes!!!) Here's how you voted:
56% of you prefer to be the driver
44% of you prefer to be the directions giver
