Omg I just saw a Shanley skeet in the wild! Is Mardoll on here somewhere too? Truly what's old is new

Hey Kiwis! I'll be at Little Unity in Auckland next Saturday so please drop by and I'll scribble on your books! 😻🔎✏️

I am bad at self promotion, but this is available now. It took me a year. It is 16 minutes long. It is every bit of rage at the death and subsequent deadname funeral of my partner kinda crunched into five short songs. withouthistory.bandcamp.com/album/a-ghos...

Mildly amusing to realise that my local TOP campaign headquarters is in the house next to the brothel that I had assumed was also a brothel #nzpol

hey gang, a far-right party is using this election to gauge whether locking trans people out of civil society has a public mandate, and they've proven they can twist the coalition's arm to get whatever they want. We are in danger. Can you fucking do something.

It is a little funny that there's one guy on here who is reliably the most annoying guy and it's not even a close competition. I guess it means the rest of us don't have to bother to compete along that axis.

I must inform you that Rebecca Black’s “Friday” just went platinum, according to the RIAA. www.riaa.com/gold-platinu...

it’s already illegal in scotland, they just don’t bother to enforce it, because (repeat after me) police are at liberty to choose which laws they enforce

www.thenational.scot/news/2641894... This is great and all, but the police already ignore it when Nazis turn up with Combat 18 flags and combat 18 has been banned since they went on a bombing spree in Muslim Jewish and Gay areas in London.

BMW when Sony called with the idea: oh thank you kind sirs. we are but a struggling start-up desperate for funds. just trying to make cars that we hope people enjoy, good sirs. thank you for believing in us. of course we will advertise your fine film. to all our drivers

This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

I have also, because I'm dumb and sick and should sleep, done my restock. Finally. I'm not out of any pins I think! pocomoto.co.nz/product-cate...

probably still have a 2 day window on this given it can be bundled with ACT’s “physically abuse school children” policy genuinely cant understand why @greens.org.nz or @chrishipkins.bsky.social havent leapt at this with full press PR

kyle@kyledchurch.bsky.social · 4d ago

would be a good time to launch a child welfare policy and hard push the PR to media on the back of this Labour could either invoke Ardern, or Greens could seek to take that mantel - either would be pretty welcome across MOST of the political spectrum at this point

The Ministry of Education is using so much AI it can't tell us how much AI it's using

The Ministry doesn't seem to want the public to know exactly how much AI it's using - or what it's using AI for.

‘BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE’ is officially the next Spider-Man film. In theaters on June 18, 2027.

A truck dying in the middle of active firefighting operations is a firefighter's worst nightmare. 🚨 Early yesterday in Hamilton, a pump failed and the truck completely shut down mid-fire. It leaves crews exposed, defenseless, and without water. When will FENZ take action?

YESSSS i feel like my five minutes of ranting at Select Committee (or maybe it was the overwhelming torrent of all the other famous stats nerds) may have actually helped

Not sure how much attention this will get, but it’s quite a big deal - Labour has pulled its support for the Govt’s controversial census ‘modernisation’ plans, meaning it no longer has the 75% majority it needs in Parliament: newsroom.co.nz/2026/08/03/g...

Its function is as an economic weapon, and much of the other stuff (does it work, how green is it) is irrelevant.

utterly demoralising time to work in tech. Spend years developing a technically excellent and dependable product, and your boardroom is just guys saying “my nephew could build this in 15min with ChatGPT, why aren’t you DUMBASSES more like my nephew“

Sat down and immediately got derailed. I now have a groovy playlist, a new monthly review template, some text file gardening tasks on the todo. None of that was the plan. #ADHD

On the night of 2–3 August 1944, nearly 3,000 Roma men, women and children were murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Today, on European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day, we honour the victims of the Roma genocide and reaffirm our duty to preserve their memory.

Talk about the truth loudly and often. Much much later, talk about how dumb and wrong all the grifters are about it

Put another way, go on offense you stupid slut
