I'm assuming this 'self made at a cognitive level' thing has more than one subscriber and it's just that it's a little funny how badly it stands up to any consideration

Things in Popeye, a Japanese menswear magazine: — Interview with a "freelance pie advisor" who claims to have tried every pie in London. He names the city's top three pies. — Recurring column from writer who updates everyone on his cats for some reason. — Feature on Parisian grandfather style.
I do not let Him Here wear tartan slippers from No 1 Shoe Warehouse, which is New Zild grandfather style. Slippers have to be plain black or brown. And no tops with food stains. Ever. That is as high a grandfather dress code as seem attainable here.
My Bible as Literature class in college taught that feet were often used as a euphemism for penis in the Hebrew of that era, so like, when Saul uncovers his feet in 1 Samuel 24, that's a polite way of saying he was urinating. (I see the New International version translates it that way.)

I teach statutory interpretation. For part of the course we look at how to translate policy ideas into final legislation - identifying the need to legislate, crafting wording, advice from officials, select committees, SOPs etc etc. The eg we use is conversion practices: a short piece of topical law.

Harete Hipango's Wikipedia page: "Hipango acknowledged that she had asked a member of her staff to edit her Wikipedia biography to remove any mention of negative or controversial issues that Hipango was involved in, including her attendance at anti-vaccination rallies" She's no.7 on NZF's list

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over two decades The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

I remain confident that the Harry Potter series will be cancelled because when you need to find 6 billion in savings, one property with costs of over a billion is a tasty treat
As I’ve said before, TOP are the party for people who think they’re too smart to have values.

I guess at least "So I'd probably just go back to what I used to do, which is not a good reason to do anything.” is a better follow up than anything I was imagining. I'd probably vote national brackets pejorative
Idiot/Savant@norightturnnz.bsky.social · 19h agoThe current top story on this is another data point about where TOP sits, and why they're untrustworthy www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...
And there it is: voting for Opp is voting for National or someone not Labour. The fact he even engaged with the question - during an election campaign! - shows a breathtaking degree of incompetence that would be a liability if part of a coalition government.
