god this app is gonna be insufferable next week when G’hzarxl the Rancorous plunges Earth into the aeon of Endless Night

@andrewlittlenz.bsky.social and Ben McNulty both showing themselves up with ridiculous comments about the Library website "Look, you can do a good website on AI in 20 minutes and you’re not paying 600,000 bucks for it, so that’s what horrifies me" What a fucking idiot🤦 #nzpol

I am perpetually disappointed that Bab-al Mandab isn't the writing partner of Lowell Ganz.

ATP = Maine

It's not "whereof" it's "of whence"

Muslims don’t recognize Jews as God's chosen people, Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah, Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world, and Evangelicals don’t recognize each other at Hooters.

Dad joke! At the bsky.

If you can't relate to emo kids, it's because they speak in morose code.

I know we wanted this spineless jelly to stand for something, but I was really hoping it would not be criminal, genocidal, aggressor regimes.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

TFG

War, huh. What is it good for? Masking presidential negligence/incompetence/malice/senescence. In Trump's head, anyway.

Ceasy like Sunday morning

Playing into my old aphorism that the Left distrusts the media because it prints the Right's lies, while the Right distrusts the media because it won't print all of their lies.

Scott Pelley revealing that Bari Weiss is just replacing the wholemeal with white bread on an otherwise unchanged shit sandwich.

He's not wrong, technically, but for all the wrong reasons. But the physical comedy of the clip is Harold Lloyd levels of artistry.

Zola meets the B-52s with Love J'Accuse

The new Koru welcome on the TVNZ+ app music is reminiscent of Mass Effect. Approved.

If you don't have a house and you don't have any wealth then voting against the Voltron Liz Truss becomes an actual simple choice, right? And if you do have a house, then it takes a 2 minute search to confirm that a CGT only applies if you sell. So you check how much wealth you need and...?

Sorry but the way we vote in L.A. makes no sense. Every registered voter is sent a ballot, votes, drops them off, and then an army of workers methodically and with full transparency works through them to ensure there are no mistakes and you get a text and email if there's a problem? That's fucked.

Digging through an old set of "things", I came across an old school play flyer. Inside it were some photos of me from a different school play. 1988 at a guess.

Give me the most 80s song you can think of youtu.be/Yem_iEHiyJ0?...

I have finally completed my Suikoden III manga collection. Now I need to summon the courage to read them. It's been a journey.

My favourite thing about the California elections is the commentators talking about it like it's a horse race happening right now, rather than just a recording of yesterday's race where no-one has seen a spoiler.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social and @justinwolfers.bsky.social It's "asterisk". The gall!

There's a dreadful advert for a wonder oven, and the voice is a whole mess of English accents. As someone with a hybrid accent, it is proper uncanny valley stuff. If you're a real person, sorry.

You can make serious money by using a serious voice to disparage sensible policies and promote stupid ones. Every show wants to interview you.

I want non-libertarians to take on ACT ministerial requirements, because they clearly can't cope with their workload.

ACT, NZ First, National.

The Galaxy Brain podcast is excellent and helps me think differently about subjects. But the pro-data centre episode was simply incoherent. "The anti-data centre movement is pushed by Trump funders"? "Use the data centre money to upgrade power infrastructure which will bring down energy costs"

Facebook marketplace is Mos Eisley spaceport dot com.

this. the fact that "catturd" is one of the largest circles says so much...

Colin Farrell as Vlad Taltos

I hope Djed Spence is getting paid for his Masters of the Universe promo #ENGNZL

Tough crowd

"Christian - Other" covers a multitude of sins. Ahem.

Yourself, but as a cartoon.

Thinking of @thebeardidlady.bsky.social

This could have been the new rice truck thread but Trump doesn't let us have anything beautiful.

"Some assembly required" I'm bad at cat instructions.

I have zero interest in the Jonas Brothers or their podcast, but I really respect their choice to flood the podcasting ecosystem with their adverts to support actually engaging content. Thanks Jonases. Thonases.

I've been saying "cat fud" for years because of this panel.

I reposted before watching, but was not worried about that at all. It's a tiny bit like the business talks from Cypher, but riveting, surgical, and powerful. I'm learning a lot and remaining furiously outraged. Leonard's analysis is excellent.

Bricks & Minifigs has permanently closed its Oregon store and parted ways with franchisees Best and Johnson, blaming a "devastating social media campaign" while conceding "gross negligence" and revaluing the disputed Star Wars LEGO collection it once promoted at over $200,000. youtu.be/55FMmihiDw0

Everyone should love blumineck

Moviedrome was incredible. I absolutely didn't like everything I saw on it, but I learned a lot, and expanded my input hugely. And Alex Cox was a wonderful host. Experienced, insightful, witty, and appropriately weird.

Raise a cup of Gold Blend* in his memory. *Or a good coffee, I'm sure he'd appreciate it

Every club's fans must feel this way, but Nottingham Forest is still a very special club. Unique and historic in a number of ways, and with higher highs making the lower lows feel worse.
