Where the hell did Jason Walls pick up that ridiculous accent? It's neither one thing nor the other.

And it's exactly as much of a storm in a teacup as you'd imagine if you're familiar with the franchise. If anything, 1930s Pākehā communists appropriating from tangata whenua is exactly what I'd expect to happen and the idea of Elsie Locke in charge of it is hilarious.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

#TheRapture 😎

Ok I am glad to report that the Rapture hasn't happened

Why does it never occur to anyone to point out to Ogden that very few of the BRICS are even really democracies without even getting into their human rights records. Also the way he softballs Russia's invasion Ukraine as a sort of temporary inconvenience makes me so fucking angry.

I wish I could poach eggs.

1. A lot of bollocks has been said in the media to the effect that Charles attending the Requiem Mass of the Duchess of Kent is the first time a British Monarch has officially attended a Requiem Mass on British soil since the Reformation. This is not true.

Why do the characters in JAWS not simply defeat the shark in the marketplace of ideas?

Oh, come on.

There are many social media conflicts I can think of where the vast majority of the not-chronically-online find both sides a pain in the arse.

You ask them?

It's the useless third that probably wouldn't achieve much if you handed everything to them.

Oh fuck

All the more reason not to buy one, I would have thought.

I sort of think that anyone who has somehow gotten to adulthood without at any point gaining any awareness that Parliament is, and long has been, a "hostile and toxic" place, has no business being there.

Kier Starmer is an even bigger US poodle than Tony Blair was.

So now we’re censoring the press to pacify the orange man baby. Welcome to Starmergrad. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

As it's local body election time in NZ again, may I just remind you that anyone running on a platform of rates reduction is clearly a shameless liar and you shouldn't vote for them.

Breaking news: Robert Redford, an actor whose looks and subtle magnetism in films made him one of the biggest movie stars of all time, but who also forged a legacy in cinema as a patron saint of American independent film, died Sept. 16. He was 89.

For once I myself saw with my own eyes the Sibyl at Cumae hanging in a cage, and when the boys said to her, ‘Sibyl, what do you want?’ she replied, ‘I want to die.’

Texas Gov. celebrated the arrest of Camryn Giselle Booker on social media... An 18-year-old Texas Tech student kicked out of school & arrested for saying “Y’all homie dead” regarding the Charlie Kirk murder. The comment was made in the free speech area of the campus 🎁 @washingtonpost.com

His comment was poorly worded perhaps, but clearly a repudiation of murder & also the ideology Kirk stood for. It's possible to hold those two views at the same time The backlash is further evidence of the far-right trying to remove their critics from public life www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/charlie-k...

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Paula Muollo distanced herself from the “absolutely appalling” comments, saying Independent Together candidates have been “flying solo” from Better Wellington for several weeks.

You'd think Crikey would be a little bit more self-aware than to refer to New Zealand as Australia's "doorstep" but here we are.

Wow, that Q+A NZ interview made me despise Ray Chung even more than I did after the Tori Whanau email.

I do have thoughts about the Masterchef UK fiasco. Greg Wallace was, on the face of it, a piece of shit, but John Torode does feel like he was railroaded to clean the slate.

I propose that this phase of US history be known henceforth as the Narcisocracy - rule by social media influencers and TV hosts.

Before someone drops a house on her or throws a bucket of water at her?

As someone not entirely unfamiliar with the overlap between some Odinic neopagans and the far right, methinks some people who should know better are reading waaaayyy too much into the "Valhalla" thing. Patel's just a cringy influencer nerd trying to sound butch. Calm the fuck down.

Welcome to the Narcistocracy

The problem with having a biologist not a systems scientist speak of Mātauranga Māori....they're not convinced until they can see regressed graphs. How did he get to be a biology prof without understanding the interconnectedness of food webs and how they could be experienced?

Gee, maybe they shouldn't have purged all of the competent people from the FBI.

I mean, someone might drop that pan on their foot or something....

Mind you, if I was MTG I'd probably be watching my back right now.

It would be a sad loss if RNZ got rid of Simon Morris' "At the Movies" by "Matinee Idol" can go straight in the landfill.

Hmmm - something smells like burning Reichstag.
