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

Everlee Wihongi jailed by ICE for a month now moved to another prison unable to communicate with family or lawyer. Labour is calling on Foreign Affairs Minister to advocate with US govt for her release or at least she should be told why she is being held and able to communicate with family & lawyer.

i am fine spending my tax dollars on schools and roads and medicine and the like. i would prefer not to spend my tax dollars on a new stadium while my teacher friends go on furlough. Oregon is in financial crisis. $200 million for a nicer stadium is idiotic.

A fun game to play! Which country is he talking about?

I'm not sure what the missing leap of logic for voters is, but somehow 'rich people have money' becomes 'rich people are good at the economy', which is absolutely not the case if they're the sort of person who gets rich simply by taking money from everyone else in a highly unproductive way. =/

This is important and one to keep an eye on.

When has Labour ever engaged in 'wholesale repeal of past policies' though? They've been trying to unilaterally engineer a gentleman's agreement whereby governments don't automatically cancel everything the previous government has done for 40 years now and the tories have never wanted a bar of it.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

Crows going nuts, dive-bombing the top of a pine. First 6 then 12 then 24. A gigantic red-tailed hawk emerged, crows swarming, pulling wing feathers and tail. Hawk dropped a large rabbit with a loud thud on the neighbors roof. Now the crows are celebrating like they just won the World Series.

there's a whisper going 'round the world – you there, don't you hear it?

And the war that sweeps through the countries now, is the war against you – proletarian!

Work from home they said. It will be fine they said.

Roe V. Wade

'Haterade. The ade of the hater.'

This is a good point, and the implications are stark. NZ has no external checks on parliament, so the public's ability to meaningfully weigh in via select committee is crucial for democratic legitimacy. If that process is a farce (as it is now), it delegitimizes the entire government.

A Bangarang is fired from a Didgerigun.

Is this to allow Palantir to have everything?

Not 'to be fair' or anything, but the NACT approach to government is basically entirely incompatible with the select committee process, which assumes that a group of reasonable MPs will listen to a number of well-researched, carefully written submissions and then make the best decision.

Good morning, Bluesky. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH1a...

We should try not to turn select committee submissions into a very expensive way of conducting a bogus opt-in poll. The reason we don't want government just counting submissions with AI is that the arguments in the submission and who is making them are important.

“We were only following orders”

Look on my works and laugh hysterically, for they are not very good

Look it's not just a popularity contest you also have to consider how it's a bad idea on the merits

i think people are too harsh on bsky because it is actually social media itself that is dying, not any particular site

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of May 10, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I feel like there's a couple of people on this website now who post things just so they can be disappointed in you for liking it. =/

You just know that someone suggested he get a bronze of himself and he was immediately all like 'The third place medal colour? Do me a gold instead!' and this is the result. =/

I am in awe

-Move fees free to the last year and then dump it all together -Reduce govt Kiwisaver contribution until there’s no contribution -Get rid of personal grievance claim at salaries over $180k then slowly make it for no one -Turn sickness beneficiaries into jobseekers Anti-universalism sucks balls.

The Coup - The Guillotine

Politics is complicated, never moreso than bridging the gap between the libs who won't ever accept help from anyone they consider to be even faintly tainted, and the libs who will instantly forgive any conservative for decades of horrible behaviour the moment they say anything vaguely sane. =/

Last night after a few drinks the wife and I were talking about how shitty it is that the millennials and Gen Z have totally gotten hosed on the party front. There's all these NYT stories about how kids don't go drink at the bar anymore and it's like no shit everything costs a bazillion dollars

you know what the real data center is. the human mind. thank you,

I was told that for Mother’s Day my mom just wanted “time alone with her dogs.”

Lalochezia [lal-uh-KEE-zee-uh] (n.) - The use of vulgar or foul language to relieve stress or pain. Used in a sentence: “Like a linguistic lightning bolt, Lulubelle LaRue let loose lewd lines of lalochezia to lighten the load of life's lingering lamentations.”

Adding 'Wellness groups desperately trying to get and spread Hantavirus just to see who lives and who dies' to my 2026 bingo card.

Systemic collapse, man. You can insulate yourself from the consequences of your actions, but those consequences are still real, and still happening to *something*, and if you keep doing it, it keeps building up.

A rarely seen native of the Appalachian Mountains, the fur-bearing mountain piranha lives only in the most secluded and pristine streams. As an adaptation to the chill waters of the mountains, they sport a dense coat of "fur" (which is actually made up of modified scales.)
