- Reposted by Philip MatthewsYou and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

- Reposted by Philip MatthewsI’ve done some catalogue searching and am fairly confident in saying that 5/10 titles in this list do not exist (1, 2, 4, 5 and 7). Sloppy, unacceptable, and a real kick in the guts to real authors with real books they’d love people to buy and read!

- Pike River gets a 4/5 from me. Has a great script (Fiona Samuel) and is the best thing I've seen Melanie Lynskey do. A tribute to two women, and a third (Helen Kelly). But an uncanny moment when the real Jacinda embraces actors playing Anna and Sonya; other politicians were also played by actors.
