A blue car balanced precariously on a fence. The car has the National Party logo on the side, the name Luxon is on the bonnet, with the words “back on track” along the bottom

Like this?

Labour is of course not much better in this regard.

And I'm right because who else is there? They had to parachute in the most boring. opinionless, disinterested mofo with a leadership credential they could find to stop them all going at each other. They are a party without an identity and with no unified vision.

If this was America I suppose I would express this via betting. Weird

He won’t have been rolled, but that will also not indicate an endorsement by his caucus.

Namely ‘calories in calories out’ is true in the way that lots of the things liberal economists say are true. You know when you strip it metaphysically of all of the surrounding context and examine it in a vacuum. Which is something that Engles takes issue with. Which is to say it’s not really true.

Normal (in the most generous sense) people evoke Engels when talking about economics or politics but I invoke Engles when talking about popular ideas around fitness and weight loss.

In both these works it’s not just the sound track which is remarkable (which they are) but the entire soundscape

Baz Luhrmann is underrated as an auteur but I rate him so highly 70% because of Romeo + Juliet (the greatest Shakespeare adaptation ever made) and 27% because of The Get Down.

The Power Mac G4 tower with LCD screen. The grown up office computer of the see through curvy era. Featuring shiny plastic, curves, 4 handles and a very professional grey blue and silver/white colour scheme.

It kind of has a design language that invokes an Apple history too…

Low-key very excited for the possibility that OpenPrinter will be the world’s first wireless printer that works.

Anyway pretty much every time in my life that I have been given food from a middle class persons garden it has been garnishes. You can’t live on garnishes. You can’t live off 6 cherry tomatoes, one small lettuce and some aesthetically pleasing but very thin carrots.

Notably humans generally require more than a few hundred calories per 3 months.

The most successful ones would grow a few hundred calories from potato cutoffs (there are a few things you can grow from cutoffs from food you eat but of them potatoes are the most successful in terrible growing conditions).

We should do a reality show where some dumbass who thinks this is a good idea is given a typical rental property (with a typical landlord) with no existing garden, no tools, nothing helpful and a generous $30 per week and is tasked with feeding themselves for 3 months.

No wonder this weirdo can’t get elected in Whangārei – I remember someone back in the day saying they didn’t like butter chicken and people being legit confused and upset

Fuck this vile racist shit but also butter chicken is mean as? Like I don’t eat chicken but butter chicken pies from the shop at school were the shit. Idk what’s wrong with racists that they get upset about more yum food

Does your right to quiet, peaceful and private enjoyment of your pool trounce my right to use my property ti build 15 floor of apartments with giant windows glaring down into your pool?

The exact reason for planning rules is that if you have two properties next to each other and each has an owner who enjoys property rights how do we decide when the things that the people want to use their properties for conflict. We have to mitigate here because there is a fundamental contradiction

The problem with property rights are that they fail the deontological test because unlike human rights they are exclusive. When someone defends property rights and bemoans regulation they reveal themselves as an idiot because it always comes down to whose?

Me but not for opsec (although sometimes) but rather my burning hate for Zuckerberg. I will message my 87 year old nana on messenger though, she is too good and too stressed out by her phone for new complications.

I gather they can sign it but what does it mean to sign an agreement which you can’t then action?

a lot of the time it means who is the boy one and who is the girl one overlaid with different levels of problematic manifestations and reflections of gender but even then that is not all encompassing.

The thing about being a younger millennial, regular queer and gender queer is that you end up existing at an intersection where 3 to 4 different definitions of the words 'top' and 'bottom' collide and dissolve into an unintelligible mess and it feels like we just all pretend that this doesn't happen

A compact truck is fine for most uses.

Me: *Trying to apply for jobs*

The civilisation ending polycrisis which in any logical economic world would be generating infinite jobs: ‘Imma fucking wreck Wellington this week and also enjoy buying food while you can’

The nations politics: ‘for some reason the bald man is unpopular, will he go?’

Shit goes hard but also this man is like maybe a couple years older than the original techno fans and DJs if that.

Deriving joy and disgust (joygust?) from imagining Luxon as Bojack Horseman type character

has there been any government comments on the NZer detained by ICE? Based on the reporting it seems like the journos reporting on it haven’t even approached officials at this point???

Whats going on with these people?
