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

Sometimes you see ripples in a pond that tell the tale of something unseen having happened and what is unseen here is some polling that said 'eat shit'

As a former librarian with the boring degree to prove it, when AI boosters talk about learning how to do "prompts" all I'm hearing is search strategies and keywords. As an adult human doing research you should already know how to bend a database to your will and get appropriate results, dipshits

Jesus Christ I just did a week's grocery order and I have to take a knee

Two vegetarian meals; one (frozen) seafood dish; cut all the meat amounts down by 20% on the other recipes

Still staring anxiously at the bank balances

I have achieved the Required Work Boring Things and it's only 2pm! I feel like a superhero

NOW I must stop myself doing many more boring things for several more hours and burning myself out for tomorrow's boring things. I am being a human grown-up who will do something else, like plan the meals

Adding myself to the "what's with the jeans" chorus and also there's a leather belt...?
What if Lemon Party and Grindr did a cross-promotion.

Everyone! It turns out if you start work at a reasonable hour in the morning and put on a Pomodoro timer and actually stick to it, you can do your paid work during the day and then go to bed at a normal time! Were you aware of this

Today the ERA Bill passed, marking a dark day for NZ workers.

This Govt has weakened YOUR job security.

For instance, the door is now open for employers to ‘re-hire’ anyone as a ‘specified contractor’, lacking protections like min wage, holiday pay, sick leave and the right to join a union. #nzpol

there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

really gone under-reported just how heavily, and directly, connected these networks are to sitting politicians
NZ has not really come to terms with how far developed the disinfo networks were that led to riots and flames on the parliament grounds.

It's been brushed off as individual cookers without much serious introspection in public of the information ecosystem and funding conditions that led to it.

The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.
The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor.

Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake

I’ve seen this person get retweeted by MAGA influencers like Benny Johnson. He’s not kidding. This is a real political goal he is pursuing. He has 425,000 followers on Facebook.

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.
