Going to Church and getting mad when the Priest says the woke Genesis 3:19
Chase Geiser@realchasegeiser
I pay 1,000 dollars a month to send my daughter to catholic school to protect her from woke bullshit. I just went to her first recital where the kids are singing the theme song from the musical Rent, about how many minutes are left in a year in the context of being diagnosed with aids. What the actual fuck.

Albanese also secured commitments from Singapore & is underwriting fuel contracts so the Australian economy can continue. #auspol #nzpol
NZ government OTOH is stuck on blame politics and the ignorance is bliss ethos
Al Jazeera English@AJEnglish
Australian PM Anthony Albanese says his gov't has secured an additional 100 million litres of diesel to bolster fuel security during global shortages, the AFP news agency reports. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/fej0rw

@revhirini Capitalism assumes exponential growth from a closed system. So, first, denies its own science (2nd Law of thermodynamics) and second, exploits workers as is extracts surplus value. This last part is probably compatible a traditional Māori economy. But it will all end in tears.

Careyn Jones asks Boyd about whether they’d considered other models beside (or alongside) capitalism. I’d say Boyd is responding that they work to uplift mana and work with whanaungatanga through capitalism.

@Howlingmutant0 In retrospect, I should have captioned this “why can’t he cum?”

@slambert360 @Becs I bet "wifey" slays .

It's funny at a certain level Australia is a bigger badder harder more grimy place than NZ but then it is also a place where people publicly and un-ironically refer to their partners as "hubby" and "wifey".

1. The responses to this illustrate a point I've been making for years: namely, that people tend to view the causation behind what is asserted here as binary. It was *either* the societal non-pharmaceutical interventions (notably, the lockdowns) *or*...

I’ve said it before, the pandemic broke society even more profoundly than we thought at the time. Nothing snapped back right.

@southstarbrew @Becs There's a series called Firebite about zombies in the outback. Strong Indigenous cast and storyline, absolutely an underrated classic (of Indigenous and zombie genres).
English
@Becs Gif was just a little window dressing, tweet inspired by real life Australians in 2026. I do love The Castle although not sure I agree with your wider conjecture about the quality of films.

@danielneljack @petetweetsshit Went to war against Bolsheviks and shat on his own workers but what do I know. Just a bit of history.

@petetweetsshit "Bad right-wing guy is actually left-wing" is one of the stupidist genres of right-wing posts

@PouTepou @TheZeitgeistNZ Meet him once. Was warned he smells. He does! Mofo doesn't wear deodorant.

@TheZeitgeistNZ So when Taine came back from being a migrant, he was concerned about migrants
English
Taine Randell says “he’d had concerns about the “mass immigration” he’d witnessed since returning to New Zealand, claiming it had a “huge effect on our culture” and pointing to the growing demand on infrastructure.”
Thank you Taine!

@dpfdpf Never dip your pen in company ink.
Don't shit where you eat.
Don't do the crew.
All concepts that were around pre 1996.

Asking someone if you can kiss them, and when they say no, not kissing them is hardly a scandal.

@Tanmedia @secondzeit "A man who doesn't read the news is uninformed. A man who reads the news is poorly informed." Probably applies to women too.
English
@secondzeit Media, advertising, entertainment - all industries that spend much time patting themselves on the back but often only to impress those nearest to them.
Smacks of insecurity.

This is bad news for many people on Twitter: Trust in news rises after years of decline in NZ. What’s behind the shift? theconversation.com/trust-in-news-…

@GutterTwits @MrHilariouskiwi That would automatically be my father's birthday story 🤣 I paid $32 for two handles of Panhead Supercharger at the Amberly Hotel, Nth Canterbury. He went on about it for months!

@MrHilariouskiwi @slambert360 I was AKL two weeks ago for my dad's birthday and paid NZ$63 for three fkn beers at the Viaduct.

Fkn hell, since when did a price of can of Heineken cost $7.50.....??
English
@MrHilariouskiwi @GutterTwits $18.50 for a 'pint' of Emerson's Bookbinder 2 weeks ago in Wellington (St. John's bar). Would normally have 2 (it's 3.7%) but $37 for 2 beers??! Nah.

@Raffiatim @RusselNorman No just the phosphate. We'd have to go industrial scale for compost but why not?
English
@slambert360 @RusselNorman Ah sorry I thought you meant there were environmental concerns manufacturing our own compost
English
@RusselNorman - is there any way NZ can build up its own fertiliser/compost supply to replace imports?? If so how, & how long would it take to get sufficent supply?
English
@Raffiatim @RusselNorman It's on, or under, the seabed. No way to get it without trashing the marine environment.
English
@Raffiatim @RusselNorman Just pointing out we have the resource. Efforts stymied by concerns for environmental damage. Surprised it hasn't come up in the last month.
English
@slambert360 @RusselNorman Good (I suppose?) ... but be good to ramp up safe sustainable methods.

Should “ill” plus a verb be hyphenated? How are titles of books treated in Spanish text? What is the rule on hyphenating multiple colors? Is it OK to use the present tense in an academic research paper? How should a word that’s only partly in parentheses be capitalized in the title of an article? The mavens at the Chicago Manual of Style answer these questions and others. chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/latest.h…
