So yes! I am totally a dad now! Little Man is coming up to his third week of life, and his geopolitical opinions are a little rough around the edges. It’s ok, we have time to iron them out I’m sure. I had a whole lot of great gags written here but WordPress deleted it all. So this post is going to be much more brief.

Auckland just got it’s first lockdown in about a year due to someone walking in some Delta variant from Australia. Nice one guys I hope it was worth it. Although in all honesty I haven’t noticed any difference. I’ve been on paternity leave lockdown since Little Man was born. So my life has not been impacted at all.

A wide shot of a city that’s just been nuked. In the distance are other mushroom clouds.
Caption: They said, in a nuclear holocaust, that roaches would outlive us all.

Caption: But it wasn’t true.

A street level view of the city. Dead cockroaches litter the road. A young roach pushes tentatively at one of the corpses.
“Guys…?”
Caption: Just one did.
