So @melbailey.bsky.social did a "one like = one [something]" thread of lots of cool things in her house. I think my house would be good for this so I will do it too. One like, one photo of some ridiculous-assed thing in my house. With or without a story attached, I dunno
That font was certainly a choice, YouTube channel

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.
The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

Legal attempts to claw back at abuses are important. They do slow things down, help some people, force a formal record.

It will never ever be enough. Individual humans cannot litigate out from under an $85 bil avalanche.

We all know this but gently cultivate our judicial branch fantasies anyway

If someone tells you it's raining and another tells you it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. It's your job to look out the window and see if Christopher Luxon is holding an umbrella.

Why does he lie about EVERYTHING
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Luxon claiming his Mum and Dad would let him stay up and watch State of Origin when it wasn't broadcast live here until 1990, and he would have been 20 years old #nzpol

My robot vacuum ran over the Apple TV remote, dragged it along for a while and managed to turn on the television and put on the NBA all star game

If I was some AI company founder I would immediately put out a press release about how this means my robot vacuum is sentient and a big fan of basketball

The Trump years were dark. But in little NZ they never lost hope. For NZ had a leader of rare and inspiring character.
In the face of endless climate disaster and economic implosion, he always had just the right uplifting words:
"Welcome to IKEA"
"Welcome to State of Origin"
"Check out my Spotify"

You know how the India Free Trade Agreement got the big hoo-ha celebratory bullshit and everyone on #nzpol said "this is probably a shit agreement because he's a terrible negotiator and he just signed it to say he'd done it"?

Are you telling me we were right? Again? Colour us surprised

Uh yes Stuff I do actually have a question, why did you start something called 'The Forever Project' in 2019 where you promised much more coverage of an issue that you yourselves labelled as 'existential' and now you don't give a shit and just rag on cycleways while the world burns? #nzpol

I've been listening to this podcast about John Paulk, an "ex-gay" guy who trundled around in the 90s telling everyone they could leave homosexuality. Anyway he now tells anyone who will listen what a prat he was, but I looked up his ex-wife the "ex-lesbian" and she still runs a conversion-type org ☹️
