"But the preferred option comes with a price tag of more than half a billion." Oh no! We couldn't possibly run hourly trains between two of the North Island's three biggest cities for a price tag as steep as *checks notes* 1/7th the cost of a motorway to save a few minutes on the drive to Northland

Residuals. The gaming industry needs unions and residuals. Unions to protect workers rights Residuals that give all the artists and performers a tiny slice of the earnings when their works are sold, transferred, and licensed, and return their works to them when the studio is shuttered.

Was thrilled to join Posting Through It for a new installment on their great "Who the Hell is..." series. Got to talk about my least-liked substack influencer and how insane I've felt as more centrist pundits have helped promote his work

Who the Hell is Richard Hanania? We’re joined by @letsgomathias.bsky.social and @henryburke.bsky.social to retrace the career arc of a very strange “race realist” poster who’s convinced the rich and powerful that’s he’s some sort of “intellectual.” www.patreon.com/PostingThrou...

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

Seems to me that if you fancy yourself as being some sort of anti-elitist then having Daily Telegraph opinionists loudly praising you should cause a major bout of self reflection along the lines of 'am I a fucking idiot here'

A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

We might laugh at this or stare at it in pure disbelief but yes, this is the reactionary mind on display here. The smartypants people calling me a witless ignoranus on social media are in fact a globe-bestriding tyrannical elite that must be destroyed. Like Godzilla, but worse.

Before DOGE, we produced metrics like this as part of US government—specifically USDA—data. Now you have to find someone online and hope you can trust their numbers.

Ok this is something that only I will care about but in the Sound of Music during that berry picking scene they said it was too early for blueberries but strawberries were fine which would make that scene around May WHICH WAS AFTER THE ANSCHLUSS IN MARCH 1938

Absent any clarification about what kind of student, we must also assume they are a student of the mushroom

Amanda Katz@katzish.bsky.social

Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

Here's another example for the record: from a 24/7 anti-woke guy much higher up the party list who, if all goes to plan, fancies himself as the next Minister for Media and Communication #nzpol bsky.app/profile/sean...

to illustrate how the toxin is now being mainstreamed in New Zealand as well, listen to the (apparently hilarious) reference to the "great replacement theory" at the 3 min 51 sec mark here...a broadcast from a local anti-woke media outlet in the last week www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iZ6...

This is the guy who chickened out of fighting Mark Zuckerberg who had to build an entire digital social media platform to talk to girls.

It’s a legitimate threat from the richest man in the world but he’s also sooooo fucking lame. Who talks like this lmao

I've just watched this in full and if I was Jack Ross, Nick Tenconi or Allan Nesbitt I'd be getting out of the country as quickly as possible and shutting the fuck up for ever because the UVF might genuinely try to kill all three of them. YOU TRIED TO ORGANISE A MURDER ON WHATSAPP!

I don't want to hear any whining about fixing certs from the information security types today. you chose to join the techno-priest caste, now shut up and perform the rites of exorcism

One of the really fascinating things about Charlie Kirk is that his own people’s response to his death was so nakedly opportunistic that it’s like oh, ok, this guy is fair game for literally anything, he’s an object, and now his soul is trapped inside Grok for eternity.

Appalling. Charlie Kirk must be rolling over and beating off in his grave.

As someone who needs a translator for whatever the tech people are talking about, this was quite helpful as an explanation

You joke but the polling’s been consistent: the state of men’s asses is a top-three issue in North Carolina.

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"
