Holy shitbags, logged on the grand final tickets at 4pm and they'd almost gone already. Scragged three above the Port - bugger - but we're in...woooooo. Go team, sportsing forever.

Checking in on Eurovision, usual collection of sledgehammer bombast, but points to Sweden for lyric: "You're in my head, my heart, my body parts."

Please read this thread before and after you hear PM Christopher Luxon say in a pre-Budget lunch speech today that the Government has no choice but to 'tighten its belt' because our debt is too high and we could be downgraded. Just. Bullshit. #nzpol

RIP Others Way Festival. Thanks for the great times, but why can't we have nice things?

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

Fuck me, dark times.

For those who celebrate…

BALLROOM BALLROOM BALLROOM...oh, you wanker.

Woah...that was not the Trumpwashing shitstorm I was expecting. Third time lucky, again, dammit. Pretty amazing to see the chaos of networks trying to figure out what the hell happened and the live WTF from the usual Bluesky pundits.

Luxon: "That's the end of the matter." Bwahahahahahahahaha...good luck with that.

Mekons adjacent, so cool.

Sciencing. Helluva launch, that rocket created a humungous plume, but I was still on me tenterhooks. And was amazing to listen in to the calm, by the numbers prep - who knew anything in the US still works as advertised?

Fucking weirdos with inexplicable influence. Everything is fine.

The background says “coastal grandmother,” but the tone says “Louisiana thunderstorm.”

This fucker is only days away from announcing kills while rubbing oil on his nipples.

I need more veins to plug stuff like this into.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Woah - party lines are down on this. There's revolution in the air.

If it looks like a concentration camp, and smells like a concentration camp...
