Working at my supermarket job today, feeling a special kind of anger at the people who are Uber Eats-ing their panic buying in response to Otautahi's Red Alert Level Wind Warning. "The news said to avoid unnecessary travel so I should stay inside but its fine if a gig worker is out on the roads."

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

For kids under 12, the entire foster care system should be replaced with a system where families are given supported housing, a basic income, and serious therapy. Removal should be very limited and US-style termination of rights should be completely abolished.

The other side of that, is that any kid who old enough to say clearly "get me out of this this mess" should be respected and supported to transition out of their home and into a supported living environment.

Reading Octavia E Butler's Parable of the Sower: I can kind of see why people kept bringing this book up during the 2024 election but I don't think its that strong of a parallel. Literally 15 pages into Parable of the Talents: Oh, THIS is what people were talking about

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Average music fan carrying a $70 single bag of groceries past bored troops as their neighbor gets thrown in a van by masked men who just pepper sprayed a cop: “Huh, I wonder why these songs about an NFL player’s big ol’ dick don’t feel as relatable as they usually do”

New Zealand should make a horror anthology series where each episode is based on a frightening TV PSA commercial from the 90s. So much content to mine

Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

Also 421 people voted for the openly white supremacist mayoral candidate who's policy was executing traitors to the nation. A small percentage of the population (somewhere around ~1%) but a worrying number of people

They've switched it up and now I've 'won' a 170 piece tool kit, a thing I do not want, have no place to store, and probably have no idea how to use about 94% of.

This may shock you but some of us have problems with the operation of the federal government that transcends party identification and individual elected officials.

"We see here the pinnacle of human physicality on display in a entertainment ritual enjoyed by what many would call the common person. It is a strange mix of opera and martial arts performed by actors who double as body builders. While perplexing, it is an act of impressive skill and dedication."

Just for clarity, the unemployment numbers under this government may look terrible, but keep in mind, Luxon has driven tens of thousands of Kiwis overseas as well, so its actually far worse. These numbers are just the ones that couldnt leave.

I was asked for my thoughts about the Tron: Ares trailer and figured I'd share them here: Jared Leto is gross, I don't want to watch him, please stop putting him in movies.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

So funny that every day for the last two months at around 11.30am I get an email from a slightly differently named company telling me I've won a free backpack which is auto-sorted straight into my spam folder. What a phenomenally stupid program that scammer set up.

Not a joke: saw a poster for Dan Brown's The Secret of Secrets in a book store window and popped in to ask if they knew someone had snuck a parody poster in front of the real display.

LMAO the new Dan 'Da Vinci Code' Brown book is called The Secrets of The Secrets which is just ... so dumb ... unbelievably dumb ... too dumb a title for the most on-the-nose parody of a Dan brown style book. Like, tell me you're phoning it in at this point without saying you're phoning it in.

I accidentally stumbled into the best way to play Silksong: be slammed with extra work at your dumb job so you only have the focus/energy to play a couple hours every other day, being forced to take frequent breaks so you really take the atmosphere in and avoid getting frustrated at the hard parts.

This might be misleading, when I say 'my dumb job' its because I don't like my job not because I have two jobs, one of which is smart.

Like, I’m a firm believer in electoral rights for everyone, but it sure is chilling to receive the little pamphlet where the openly white nationalist mayoral candidate gets to tell us all about how he wants to execute “those guilty of terrorism and treason” aye

I am the type of Metroidvania player who will backtracks the entire map after every new power unlock. Also, into every dead end before entering the obvious 'advance the story' area. Does it add tens of hours to my playthroughs for minimal upgrades? Sure but thats where the devs hide all the dopamine
