Mike Tyson Mysteries
 
Ok hear me out; Scooby Doo but on Adult Swim, and starring Mike Tyson playing an animated version of himself. It is totally unhinged, brilliantly funny, and pretty dark at times. The characters also include Tyson’s adopted daughter, the ghost of an old Marquess, an alcoholic, sexist middle-aged man in the body of a Pigeon, and Tyson’s agent. Rhys Darby also makes an appearance as a pool boy. Mike Tyson is, well, terrible - mixing up a chess grandmaster with a KKK Grand Wizard, taking baths of oatmeal, and pronouncing everyone’s names wrong. It’s a brilliant watch stoned.

Political party manifestos
 
It might seem excruciatingly boring, but one of the best things you can do for yourself before voting this election is pulling out the full manifestos of any parties you are considering voting for and having a read through. Close your eyes and imagine what the country might look like if all of these happen, does it seem like a better world? Is it clear and detailed enough to actually imagine? Or is it a dumpster fire? If it’s a dumpster fire, maybe have a good think come October 14.
 
 
Listen To
 
Any of the Spongebob Squarepants background music while you’re doing your admin
 
If you’re a social anxiety baddie, this one's for you. Spongebob Relaxing Music & Waves Ambience on YouTube or any other similar long-form edits of the ‘Bob’s theme songs really make you feel like you’re walking through a cute little video game, when actually you’re just at the supermarket buying frozen fish and mould killer. Alternatively, all of the Super Mario 64 ambience music by scrapper9000 goes crazy. Don’t talk to me, I’m listening to ‘Jolly Roger Bay 10 Hours’. 
 
 
 
Go To
 
Radio One Market Day
 
Market Day is back! The last time I went I bought so many cute little earrings, stickers, and other crafts and it’s genuinely so cool to see the creative stuff some of us are capable of making, and willing to sell them to us for pretty dang cheap. There will be live music and hopefully some kai too. Hopefully the forecast changes though, because it’s meant to be happening on Union Lawn.

Lil’ baby Methy is going to need all the support we can give it.

Unipol bathroom speakers
 
The Unipol bathroom speakers sound fucking possessed. Demonic. Look, I know the Uni doesn’t have a whole lot of loose change at the moment, but can they please at least invest in some new speakers? The music playing from them is so staticky it feels like I’m shitting in the Upside Down from Stranger Things. I could barely tell if the song that was playing the other day was ‘Knees’ by Ocean Alley or ‘Glimmer’ by Mako Road - although that’s not saying much, really.
