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

I told my husband to sprinkle chopped onion and parsley over his dinner and my terrible dad-pun related to this was calling him "Peter Sprinklage"

We met a dog who looked just like Rita! His name was Bruce and his mum was very generous with the treats

Two tuxedo dogs on the wet sand, being fed treats by a nice person

Right, three more votes dropped off for the Auckland local elections so don't blame this household if it all goes tits-up

This is not a country with a government that is capable of shame.

Having a bit of a "Jesus Christ everything is so fucked" moment so it's probably time to walk the dogs and drop off some voting papers

Disagree! Coolness existed it was just very underground (as it actually always is. The cool people are NEVER a majority in any decade)

No. Sadly not. But we can feel shame for ourselves for voting for them

Ok, although the "Johnny Cash is obviously cool you weirdo" discourse is fun, I speak as someone who has watched more than one of his 70s Cash Family Christmas TV specials and the 1985 anniversary one and... they do stretch the definition of cool somewhat 😀

Heads up - New Zealand government's annoucements on 2050 climate target will be made midday Sunday NZ time. Will we be the first country to weaken a legislated 2050 target?

Email from the Ministry for the Environment:

Tēnā koe,
On Sunday at 12.00pm (12th October) the Government will make an announcement about New Zealand’s 2050 climate change targets.

The Ministry for the Environment will also release the 2025 emissions projections at 5.00pm on Sunday.

Step one: engineer a recession and cancel infrastructure projects. Step two: get mad at people for not having a job

thespinoff.co.nz/politics/10-...

The Spinoff: In other words, we did it, folks. Joblessness is up. Inflation is down. Mince is admittedly four trillion dollars. But overall, success! Surely our government should be pulling a George W Bush and unfurling a mission accomplished banner above the rusted deck of the HMNZS Canterbury.

Instead, it called a press conference to say, in essence, wtf. Luxon and social development minister Louise Upston gathered reporters on Sunday to announce too many 18- and 19-year-olds were claiming the benefit, and they’ll be cutting them off if their parents earn more than the princely sum of $65,529 combined. Asked where young people should get a job in a recession, which, again, we deliberately engineered, Luxon pointed to kūmara harvesting in Dargaville or seasonal work in orchards. Orchardists promptly responded that they didn’t need more staff right now.

I hear from my sources that in it you are meant to clean your room. Presumably removing the mould while doing so

"Australian prog metal" is a phrase to send me into a mental death spiral, you know this right 😩😀

This explains why NZers are so loud and outwardly hot-tempered, because of our decades of living with mould in poorly insulated houses

Oh wait we're generally deadpan and phlegmatic you say? Well scratch that then

Suuuure it's the "molds" fault. Whats next, a very specific strain of mold that turns children's book authors into raging terfs?
