Woohoo 2026 time to buy a new calendar I guess

“You have no idea how bad it’s gonna get“ fatigue

Went to watch/read another one of those urgent things about how the economy has collapsed or will collapse or is going to collapse at never seen before levels & really found myself going ‘eh who cares’ 😂😭 This might not age well but fuck man anyone got any cool ideas about what to do about it?

K I think they’re probably real I guess bc I looked at the names on the credits, one of them seemed like a real guy at least, I’ll stop talking about it now 🤓 www.discogs.com/release/3431...

There was a band in the early 80s called the Helicopters from Perth, Australia but they sounded different & no mention of the song on the page historyofaussiemusic.blogspot.com/2018/01/heli...

What’s up with that ‘helicopters’ band from NZ supposedly, is it real? Feel kinda skeptical at the moment where’s the rest of their shit

“Aura” is way too overused as an internet word a flat screen cannot convey aura

Fckn crazy winds blew over our fence with the neighbours today rude!

Never heard this

People who make mistakes like serving undercooked food; it’s because they don’t taste test along the way aye? That’s my theory

I’ve always believed without proof that this scene is the reason furries exist anyway Merry xmas

2025 was a big year for me and a horrifying year for the country. I hitched my wagon to 404 Media and trained my eye on the tide of nightmarish AI slop that's dominating our lives. Here's some of my favorites from my first year with 404.

Blue check people on twxtter with ‘political analyst’ or some shit in their bios use ai to write screeds and screeds of text about western civilisation or whatever, it’s crazy. Who honesty reads that shit? It’s surreal how shameless it all is.

It’s funny seeing lists of the ‘iconic’ moments that made 2025 & having absolutely no idea what the fuck some of that shit is

That smile 😂

Guess I would like to see Tate fight someone else tho like I dunno Joe Rogan 😏

Just putting it out there, ‘circus’ boxing fights are nothing new. In 1976 Muhammad Ali squared off against Japanese professional wrestler Antonio Inoki. It had weird mixed rules not pure boxing &, it’s been a while but iirc was a total snooze fest

I kinda half watched total recall (2012) and *spoiler alert* I don’t think they go to mars in this version! It’s the credits now & I really didn’t watch it properly coz it was just heaps of machine guns & everything was chrome but still

I never actually read Dune but I always meant too. I always thought the original movie looked so strange & kind of fascinating but I had no fucking what the hell was going on so I could never really get into it

I liked Dune part 2 on Netflix, made me wanna watch part 1 properly

Back in the 90s before the days of caller ID you use to be able to dial up random numbers & when the person answered you could practice your beatboxing

It’s not a new idea: the constant feeling of anxiety about the world is by design, but it’s liberating to remind yourself that it’s a thing every now n then. Keeps you grounded, helps you appreciate sunlight & all that.

Twxtter used to be cool when someone would write some kind of “essential lifehack” & then everyone would dunk on it for being the worst most dog shit advice in the world

Providing shareholder value killed movies in ‘25

‘25 has been pretty long aye wonder if it’s partially coz there were no movies 🫢

I remember from a Niuean folktale: during times of drought you may extract water from the stem of a banana plant. Banana plants are full of sticky water. I saw a YouTube vid of a dude drinking the water from his plant, dunno how healthy that is? interesting tho

I always thought sinkholes are fascinating, like the opposite of volcanoes

Saw how droughts are causing sink holes in Turkey & had to think for a moment why that would be, oh yeah the moisture in the ground holds it together, lack of moisture makes it collapse, moisture fills gaps

Never been into the wording of ‘lazy’ ways of doing gardening, gardening’s not a lazy thing to do it’s just hacky marketing language to entice people, “the lazy way to grow carrots”. Like give it a different adjective save ‘lazy‘ as a selling point for other shit like I dunno …ai? leafblowing?

Egg laying skinks in the islands off the North Island Aotearoa make nests & King Cobras make nests

I never see anything about dinosaur nests, they must have been pretty significant if they’d built them

I believe it to be true the people who care the most about relaying skin, texture, anatomy, shadows the body in general tend to be people with an absolute earnest commitment to porn brain and creating pictures of fucking

Yeah

I know a dude who’s just so into ai “art” also when photoshop first went subscription model he was all nah it’s actually good! Because *positive vibes only* They’re really out there in real life & it’s really jarring

The first image is Josaku Maeda.

Was playing with the 4 year old the other day & came up with the idea “Invasion of the Trains” You know like trains from outer space come & invade, just sayin. Not like there’s much else goin movie wise

The only tension I’ve ever seen on here is when some dude came out & told everyone about his harem of ladies & no one believed him

so 2025 didn’t have a single movie? 😮 like no ’oppenheimer” no ”frozen” no whatever else crazy. Has this ever happened before?

Fuck I finally get how they strongarm AI into everything on twxtter, a big accnt posts something super vague bt somewhat intriguing eg. ‘never forget what she took from us’ with a picture of someone no-one knows, like clockwork someone in the comments will ask the Ai for context

*reading pro AI arguments* “People saying it uses too much water are so dumb it heats up evaporates & falls back down god I learnt that when I was 4 years old” Ye good one and then when it falls back down then the locals can use it 😃Like it won’t just get used by the data centre again…right?

In the last few years I don’t really fw politics & politicians I like history, pattern recognition, cause & effect I care about those aspects of politics but I don’t show open loud loyalty to any particular party. I just vote quietly & sceptically just to do democracy when it comes up

People talk about being ‘intuitive’ like it’s a blessed gift much of the time it’s not. It’s disappointing, you hope you’re wrong & when you’re right it sucks. It’s also not just vibes it’s provable, demonstrable you say how the person’s gonna do the thing & then they go ahead & do it

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day great day for swimming & the beach so I spent it alone inside watching the pdiddy documentaries 🤡

Starting a 'dial-a-getaway-car' service, it's tough out there.

Originally I tried to stay quiet about the paper straws but yeah they suk plus I heard you’re pretty much drinking glue as the paper straw dissolves? I dunno

I’m a hater now I really don’t wanna see any more about ‘wicked’ or Ariana or her buddy they look like two weird little girls who go down to the river & collect weeds & pick each other’s noses it’s not interesting

Been thinking a lot about ‘distractions’ eg. It might be the last time you ever see someone & instead of being in the moment- saying goodbye you might be distracted, pissed off about something dumb

If you're seeing headlines about how China is "switching back to US soybeans" after Brazil's turned out to be contaminated LOL no. It's like 5 facilities and 69K tons of soybeans. Out of ~2,000 facilities and ~100M tons of beans shipped from Brazil to china. www.thepoultrysite.com/news/2025/11...

Summer starts tomorrow
