Mel's post has broken containment and now people are mind-blown in the replies about the sausage roll maker and sausage rolls in general.

Pete Hegseth Replaces Top General With Horse That Drinks Beer https://theonion.com/pete-hegseth-replaces-top-general-with-horse-that-drinks-beer/

Just watched Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice — a fun perfectly dumb action comedy with a great soundtrack!

I wonder if this is the "illegal orders" thing that those five congressional Democrats were talking about? Like, I think US service members probably shouldn't carry out the "do war crimes" orders.

I see TVNZ internal emails about the 1News gangs story have come out, and honestly I don't understand the criticism. It essentially amounts to the Government saying it's unfair not to have their press release broadcast on the news.

It's just so stupid. Like sure, let the man do shows, whatever, people can go and see him if they want. But there's no shortage of great comics, why get a special from him — he used to be ALL ABOUT being independent. And then headlining the festival? So unnecessary.

They can be good at allowing to search with non-precise terminology or natural language... And they can summarise some (not all) of what they find. But it's on you to actually review what they've found and confirm things.

I haven't read Jonathan Ayling's Herald column — I don't even know the subject — but this is certainly some good marketing for it.

There are so many other comedians... Like why? They could just not.

Has a single human ever done more harm to the global economy than Trump has with his choice to go to war with Iran?

Even ignoring the fact the company is run by one of the world's worst people... Their cars seem increasingly behind the curve. There are so many more agile and interesting EV manufacturers in the market now. Buying a Tesla would seem to be almost entirely a "label" decision now.

If any party or candidate doesn't clearly, strongly and explicitly denounce NZ First's bullshit transphobia they do not deserve your vote It is nothing but shit-stirring scapegoating to distract from their abject failure to run a country

Nice to see this from an open source project (and mostly positive comments/reacts too) Trans folks are overrepresented in tech, despite only being around 1% of the general population, the device you're reading this on almost certainly relies on technology developed by someone trans

Oh yeah, that's pretty annoying. That *should* be a 10TB NTFS drive. That's what it has been for years. Any suggestions?

Diesel now at parity with 95/96...

Why? It’s on the internet like my writing and art, so isn’t it free for everyone to take and use?

In case any of you are doubting us Kiwis when say our government is doing NOTHING to address the fossil fuel crisis, this is a few hours ago on Facebook. BUSINESS AS USUAL BABY FOOT ON THE GAS

I was going to say "but what if they don't have 30 close friends" but then I realised that a person without 30 close friends probably isn't really qualified for polyamory anyway.

This all feels like a pretty sensible response, and makes the NZ government's "everything is fine, maybe we'll consider some other measures in the future eventually, in the meantime here's $50 for a few of you" approach seem very lacking.

I really want to see Wayne Brown do this...

Local petrol station now has diesel $0.15 higher than 91 and only $0.05 less than 96. Yikes.

Rule of cool.

Took @melbailey.bsky.social out for a "Hotdog Date" today. If you know what I mean...

by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is

*screaming in rage* BUT THAT'S NOT A MINI EGG THEN IS IT

The transgender mafia is very much above ground...

Ive seen some incorrect dates floating around. So just an FYI, members due to renew have till the 30 June and should now have an email with instructions. New members need to sign up by 24 April to vote at the AGM. #InternetNZ

📢 Our Membership renewal period has begun! If you are an InternetNZ member due to renew, you should now have an email with instructions on how to do so.

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

Ben Gvir's equivalent in US politics would be literally if the leader of the Aryan Nations splinter group The Order were elected to Congress and given a cabinet position instead of dying in a shootout with the FBI. It's difficult to explain how much of a supremacist extremist Ben Gvir is.

When the initial they're using is "J" I think maybe it's not really Israeli influence they're focused on.

Also too: April 1st runs for about 48 hours because time zones. Everyone else is tired of it before the USA even starts

Is diesel has actually overtaken 91 now

All well and good putting it in the archive, but really it should be playing on a giant video wall in the airport arrivals hall in every major airport.

Me in 2024. Today everybody on Twitter is screaming that Claude is blowing through its limits faster than ever. The subprime AI crisis begins…

Reshoots are expected and normal.

The new season of My Family Mystery started on TVNZ1 last night. It's one of my favourite shows to work on... It's a show that we really build a lot in post-production, feeding back to production as we go. Watch on on Sunday nights, or check it out on TVNZ+.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

THIS! It's been like this from the start... "Oh, just a little war in Iran, things will be back to normal soon" WHAT? Why would people assume that? Did they get confused by what happened in Venezuela? Did everyone thing Iran would just be cool with it? And now that it's clear they very aren't..?

I'm glad I finally prevailed, it was getting hard to hold it!

As the parent of transgender child, I can testify that the standard of care was EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE even before the recent moral panic. I cannot stress this enough. EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE. Anyone who says otherwise is completely uninformed or blatantly lying. Period.

What's really going on here is twofold. First, the anti-trans "reporters" on this issue do not know their own beat. As I've said before, the anti-trans argument is a conspiracy theory. It posits that the medical field is handing out surgeries to kids at the slightest hint of gender nonconformity.

Snack, ingredient... It keeps happening!

just your reminder that billionaire nick mowbray is an incredible dumbass (more background: www.webworm.co/desperatedave/)

I've tried. I literally cannot imagine this.
