Hope everyone is comfortable. Especially the ones without homes, and the ones being ‘moved on’ because they’re ‘not a good look,’ and the ones paying more thn 30% of their income in rent, or the ‘lotto winners’ in state homes.

Mind meltingly moronic that NZ government thinks it’s going to replace public servants with AI when arguably the most basic AI of all: “autocorrect” gets it so wrong several times a day.

Working on a song called “Hill Shrubs” with lyrics by Conrad “In the modern world, neophytes don the sacred pants. Ancient legendary boots.” Anyway, new album coming along FINALLY and sounding quite fun TBH

Sammy baby with my coolest looking guitar, the 12 string made for me by his uncle Rob. You can see by classic Sam grimace that he is in “the zone”.

Utterly fucked that an NZ national is in an American concentration camp and our elected officials are doing nothing about it

Awkward for Shane Jones. Former head of Marsden Oil refinery: "Most other countries in the world outside MAGA US states and New Zealand are [going for 100% renewables and electrifying transport] now, at pace. For some reason, New Zealand 's going down the 1980s' path." #nzpol

This reminds me of my “diet hack” which is: It’s good to have dessert because it means you don’t eat too much of your main. You’re welcome.

Hey @paulscheer.com an …err reasonably short time listener of HDTGM here. I assume you get an irritating amount of suggestions… apologies in advance. The Boxers Omen (1983) And Hausu (1977) Both AMAZING. Truly.

@amamelia.bsky.social has shared (Listen To) The Sound Of The Wind, the final single from The Joy Of Living. She also announces a rare live show in Auckland with @babyzionov.bsky.social, Samara Alofa, and, after a 20 year hiatus, the return of Kiss and Make Up Club! 🎟️@undertheradarnz.bsky.social

Woke up looking like this!

PSA : Kiełbasa literally means sausage so don’t call it kielbasa sausage. Unless of course you deliberately mean to say sausage sausage in which case I salute you.

I don’t mind a sausage roll but sausage is better.

Saturday night is a good night for a sausage based meal!

What is your favourite sausage? And why?

The rich are getting weirder everyday, Hiding in the hills and living off the blood of their progeny, It’s a vampire class.

New The Phoenix Foundation song out Friday. It’s called “Vampire Class”. “Better get out the guillotines…”

Hey @paulscheer.com loving HDTGM here in NZ, if you do not know these may I recommend: “Hausu” the 1977 Japanese film, partly written by the directors 10 year old daughter. And “The Boxers Omen” the 1983 Hong Kong film with some of the best “Spiritual battle” scenes ever.

The way autocorrect refuses to spell swear words is so infantilising.

Café au lait sans lait, s'il vous plaît.

SORRY SPORTS BALL : Why the shit isn’t Roigard running at all?? What kind of “game plan” is it to remove one of the most potent attacking weapons from your game?

The new Lily Allen album has quickly gone to the top of my “albums by really rich privileged people publicly complaining that their open relationship went wrong” pile. (Disclaimer: I actually quite like it.)

As if things weren’t bad enough already- I’ve had Robbie Williams “She’s The One” stuck in my head for a week.

Ranty thread, looking for advice: I have been billed multiple times by SkySport because I bought a month on my iPhone using Apple account but when I logged in it hadn't come through so I subscribed on my browser. I then cancelled the subscription on my Apple account but they billed me again anyway

Very bad rugby.

Good rugby.

Woke up with the words: “You can’t fill the hole in your soul with snacks.” In me head.

Trump Urges Supporters To Move On From Societal Disdain For Pedophilia

Listening to @lukaszbuda.bsky.social I believe this is the best singalong you'll find containing the words "high cholesterol level" and "cardiac arrest" 🩵

Watching Decline Of Western Civilisation II : Heavy Metal years. A documentary about utterly despicable idiots who make fucking awful music! Very entertaining.

A bunch of weird cryptic posts that sounded like perhaps we no longer had to deal with the orange man got me jazzed for a bit but it was all much ado about nothing ! FFS.

Remembering the pedal steel maestro Sneaky Pete Kleinow on his birthday. Here he is with the Flying Burrito Brothers performing Hot Burrito #1

Hi this is the worlds most boring post: What are your “reasonably priced but reliable” washing machine recommendations? Thank you.

Surprised by how chuffed I am by the Wallabies absolute triumph.

The science clearly states that trans athletes don’t have any unfair advantages. Some people just want to punish anyone who is different to them. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Just finished White Lotus 3 and very good yes. However: The Russians are total tropes eh?

The first one of these kinds of videos I ever did see and still the best one probably. youtu.be/IumkoOmMpTU?...

so the only legislative victories of labour, the uk's "centre-left" party are thus far 1. legal to kill grandma 2. all trans people banned 3. like 65% of all adults are now technically terrorists 4. do you have a loicense to read wikipedia

My ads on YouTube are all for AI "co-producers" it is so whack. "Don't know what the track needs? Play it to AI co-producer and it'll decide for you" If you're intending to make music, but wanna use AI for your creative decisions, please just stop. DON'T DO IT. No one wants to hear it.

Tonight I saw HAUSU and it was fully rad. youtu.be/7-u8s49Lv28?...
