A reminder: 🚗: I hope I find parking. 🚴🏽‍♂️: I hope I don’t die. Our priorities are not the same.

They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

public libraries ftw

It's windy enough outside and this 65 year old rental is so comically not insulated/sealed on the inside that all the doors and curtains are moving with each gust. Last time I saw anything like this was when I lived in a 250 year old colonial house in New York State. #christchurch

An incredibly punchable face with boundless arrogance and stupidity to match. Perfection

An 8 employee hedge fund that was up hundreds of percent and used aggressive leverage is asking investors for more cash to meet margin calls. The tropes in this particular bull market couldn’t get any lazier. www.ft.com/content/2803...

really something to see tech YouTuber types calmly discussing the latest Tesla or SpaceX business news without once mentioning Elon’s 50 Day of the Rope posts per day or his murdering 700,000+ people

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Darwin award winning behavior if you're dumb enough to use this

X Money is launching in the US starting today

A lot of people are going to lose all their shit because of X Money and it's important to remember that all of them can be laughed at

The model the Trumps will try and implement. Barron Harkonnen Trump will be next if they succeed.

Nicaragua’s president has founded a dynasty in plain sight. Daniel Ortega’s wife is poised to take power when he can no longer act. One of his five sons could be next in line

Beautiful day in the port hills for a run

Off the top of my head there are more Republican ex-legislators in prison right now for child sexual abuse then there are trans girls playing high school sports

choo choo choose anger@ralphtheewiggum.bsky.social · 2w ago

I have not ever seen a single story about a trans kid causing any issue in some sport they’re playing (other than other butthurt parents) yet this is somehow an exponentially bigger problem than an ocean of conservative men preying on children and women.

Out of curiosity -- plotted the rise in electricity from non-hydro renewables v oil and gas in New Zealand. Those numbers do begin to tell a story and we still have a lot of cards to play...

The Internet was a mistake

Bush v gore was the through the looking glass moment.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · 3w ago

My dissent on this, also at @theunpopulist.net. Probably one of the pieces I’ve caught the most flak for from certain quarters, but it’s where I am as a reluctant convert. This Court really is that bad, and it is not an unthinkable apocalypse for Congress to exercise its constitutional check on it.

another big W for Merrick Garland. truly he was focused on doing his job in a quick and efficient fashion

White-collar prosecutions actually are at an all-time low, so

This is so depressing. Serkis is just so wrong. The Hobbit movies were an abomination and the original 3 have their moments and now these next movies will probably rival the Hobbit ones for garbage quality

Feels bad that a director of a major studio film is perfectly comfortable saying that casting non-white actors is just something you do to look woke and otherwise isn't remotely necessary

Wtf is going on in Christchurch today? Just biked around town and cars are extra stupid and pedestrians seem glued to their phones and are wandering into bike lanes right and left. Shout out to the guy in the new RR who almost ran me over. Good times.

Imagine if this much money was used for bus/bike/pedestrian infrastructure instead? This is like the live strong foundation raising 100s of millions for cancer awareness. Yeah, we know cancer is bad thanks $323m spent on planning for RoNS now put in slow lane | The Post share.google/70XWCEe35iVC...

$323m spent on national roading projects now put in slow lane

The Government has spent $323m on early work on Roads of National Significance which now have no promised start date.

Ive tried to explain QI to Kiwi's before and they, rightly, cannot believe I'm serious and not making it up.

Luigi de Guzman@ouij.bsky.social · 3w ago

I recently had to explain qualified immunity and the near-impossibility of holding the police accountable in the United States to my dad. "Then we live in a police state," he said.

It’s incredible that people this dumb get the same number of votes as you do.

This is such bullshit. Two absolute gems in the USA and I've spent weeks in both. Utah GOP has gotten so much crazier the last few decades vs the beginning of this century. What a waste.

Presidents have power to designate national monuments under the Antiquities Act. The act does not say anything about reducing or eliminating them, though.

it rocks that Lindsey Graham lived to see the US lose a war with Iran and then immediately died lmao

Thoughts and prayers. Lol

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.
