Make Argentina Great Again

Hey quick tip: you’ll have more success communicating with strangers on here if you’re not a weirdly aggressive and offputting little freak that no one likes

Sunrise, Sunday, 26 October from Okitu Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand. Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️

Making the most of the missus being away, by watching movies she isn't into. Dune & Blade Runner 2049 so far. I seem to have inadvertently picked "Movies where Dave Bautista has a minor part" as the theme for the weekend.

This 100% sums up today.

Giving this EP from Puscifer, MJK’s lesser known band, a spin. It’s both a primer for new listeners and a curated journey for longtime fans. It’s a goooooooood collection.

the upper income quartile for your country basically runs your county. they vote reliably, they express opinions, they employ people, they can afford to work govt jobs. if those people are republicans your county fucking sucks.

Love it!

It's not rude to ask creators the best way to make sure your money gets to them, I assure you! They will be generally happy to tell you. Indeed, I have a whole article about it: whatever.scalzi.com/2024/12/30/a...

sorry sorry im sorry sorry im so sorry im sorry it wont let me delete it im sorry

when will they make a YA post-apocalyptic movie about getting sorted into factions at birth, but the factions are the roles from Lemmings

It's funny how the people saying everyone should take individual responsibility for poverty, school lunches, etc etc are also saying that we need strict regulation to prevent anyone under the age of 16 from accessing social media. #nzpol

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

The people have spoken

In strong support of everyone striking today ✊ Stay safe, stay informed and stay together. Union strong.

A mattress (and blankie) with a subscription plan! 😭

Brain, two hours ago: wonder if I can do a 160kg deadlift today? Brain, right now: LOL no way motherfucker. Good try tho.

www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608... I'm having a hard time understanding how these suggestions work. Lie on your back. Shoulders under the water, elbows out of the water, hands under the water, palms and forearms pushing down on the water. WTF?

The Government has quietly dropped a subsidy for costs associated with managing the affairs of vulnerable people, leaving some families with large bills. #nzpol

Happy Caturday 🐾🤍

Who do I know in NZ with a PS5? I purchased a gift card for a nibling in error - can't take it back, so I'm now trying to find someone to sell it to. Hocking it on Trademe looks dodgy, so I'd prefer to find someone I already know.

I’m enjoying the retaking of frogs. I always felt incredibly sad for the original illustrator of pepe who had his creation stolen and exploited

PEOPLE. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. MY GOD THERE ARE LUNATICS STANDING FOR SEATS

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

nice chumba you got there. be a shame if someone wumba’d it

The economy is not going to recover in time to give Luxon an election boost. This means Winston, Luxon, and Seymour will try to stir up culture wars to distract us. Don't get sucked in - just hammer home the lousy economic performance, the incredibly high cost of living, and the general despair.

These are the sorts of things you can do if you're serious about art, creativity, and growing an economy

Bring back webrings you cowards.

Heya @sophieodoom.bsky.social - can you follow me so I can send you a DM? Ta!

If a little girl covered in ash appears hanging upside down from your ceiling dripping black bile and whispering in Latin, lay a mirror flat on the ground beneath her and count backwards from 24. This works most of the time.

Remember ladies, if he’s not ready to commit maybe you should introduce him to unit testing.

Nothing so grand as Australia. The future is apparently kumara farming in Dargaville. I wish I was joking. (via www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...)

I have absolutely no doubt it is hard to live on the pension, Verity. But the pension is still the *best* of our benefit payments. Also I think <based on my expenses> that maybe you mistook some of your monthly expenses as weekly expenses. The article is here: www.stuff.co.nz/money/360842...

someone should redo the projections for outcomes for young people in New Zealand where 50% of them move to Australia as soon as they can afford it, because that’s what’s actually going to happen

This is a policy with no basis in any analysis. It's designed to look tough. It actually makes them look thoughtless and out of touch. It's arbitrary, mean, and simply designed to disguise the fact that the government is failing young people. Is this what being back on track feels like?

#nzpol The government has announced that 18/19 year olds, who live in a household where the parents earn $65,529 or more, can't claim jobseekers support. If both parents work 27 hours on the minimum wage - $634 a week - they will be expected to now financially support their adult offspring. A 🧵

Xbox gamepass subscription price is increasing 50% from $240 to $360 per annum (New Zealand dollars) I like gamepass, but that is a heck of a big increase.

Compression pants should be called breeches of contract.

when you have a vampire that doesn't put in the effort that's a deadbeat vlad

Today's DL was 145kg for six reps, a new PR. Yay! 💪

tired: it's always DNS inspired: ICANN feel it coming in the air tonight

Buried in the detail about reducing earthquake strengthening is the removal of requirements for disabled access and fire safety. You know who does that? Sociopaths.

At the National Museum in Suva, Fiji, and I've found the name of my next band:

Fuck this shithouse cowardly government

Let me tell you a beautiful story about this couch. 🧵 IG msviciousdesign
