Still no sign of Luxon, in spite of the international situation, Grok CSAM and MMH. This is typical behaviour by him though. At Air NZ he laid low and let minions take the blame/shit when things went wrong. Success belong to him, failure to his minions. #nzpol

You know how Frodo needed 3 movies and the help of his gardener just to throw away a ring? That’s what it’s like when you have ADHD and need to answer an email.

Thought experiment: a world in which Twitter board had not forced musk to follow through with purchase... Was that a tipping point? How materially different would the world be?

If you have a womb, you are a woman.

Otherwise, you are not.

I guess you’re proof that you don’t need a womb to be a cunt, though.

Your boring old kitchen rubber gloves are surprisingly handy for such situations where you need traction for rotation force but things are just a little too stuck... Jar lids etc. Might be worth a try?

Regarding this school lunches shitshow: are the food containers and delivery boxes not labelled in any way by Compass with date of production, date of delivery, time of heating, etc. Seems like that would be quite important in terms of verifying proper handling and delivery of hot food. #nzpol

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Sorry, that was the joke... I don't think you and I have met (apologies if we have) but I've played a bunch with Alan and Jason, and I know Chris, as a fellow blower of saxophone shaped tubes. I thought looks like Alex Griffiths on bass at a glance? Both bass Matts (Gruebner & Pennman) are taller.

Armor bearers has a redolent vibe, too, though I can't remember what exactly which odious euphemism our local guy used... But they're all singing from the same hymn sheet... The same grift.

Hmm, who is it that used to call himself "apostle" around here, before he appropriated "bishop"?
