Star Trek media: What if we encountered a complicated moral or philosophical dilemma? What if we were faced with a new scientific or technological challenge? What if we had to perceive the world from the perspective of an alien? Star Trek games: What if spaceship goes pew pew?

I generally do the opposite of namedropping, like I will deliberately obscure the name of anyone I meet with a known name. However, I feel compelled to break the rule this time because I just bumped into Lawrence Xu-Nan and told him I look forward to them booting Winston Peters from government 😇

Slowly expanding my list of muted words to cover all members of the current government.

The reason they don't have categories for the "Bird of the Year" award is that riroriri would win "Song of the Year" every year

I used to think Christopher Luxon sounded like a marketing depart but at some point these positions got reversed. I keep being shown advertisements for HBO Max and every time they use the slogan "all killer, no filler" I find myself thinking "ew that sounds like something Luxon would say".

What the headline DOESN'T say is that this law change could be put through immediately with cross-party support. Instead they are artificially delaying the law change by turning it into an election issue. As someone who has had their verbal denial of consent ignored, FUUUCK National. #NZPol

"This famous politician once said that of all the names in the English language, of all the endless colonists in all of history, that 'Cook' is the most beautiful."

Looove coming on here after being offline for an hour to find everyone panicking because the civil defense website is down 😅

I'm sitting on the train having a quiet tear. This is beautiful.

I have muted forever the name of a certain inconsequential man who will never become a minister and is of literally no consequence. How dare he hijack the discourse on this national week of mourning.

Okay wow. So I listen to nothing but the same Taylor Swift song for a week and suddenly that makes me a "Swiftie"? That's a bit harsh. I mean yeah, so I was also saved from the fate of Ophelia. I can relate. But that doesn't make me a "Swiftie".

Randomly flicking through submissions in the Legislation (Definitions of Woman and Man) Amendment Bill. Every submission against the bill is comprehensive and detailed and provides evidence and reasoning. Every submission in favour of the bill is two sentences of vibe.

I have underestimated the Wellington weather so bad 😭

I've just realised that John Oliver is going to do a bit where he completely funds the campaign for Count Binface, culminating in a full scale Cerne Abbas Giant chalk figure of the Count or something like that.

as usual

When I say Bluesky Elder, this is who I'm referring to

I just saw the news. I'm confused. USA thought they could play soccer?

Date yourself with an old film reference. (while problematic, it did introduce me to the concept of autism, which would become relevant later on, and also has the honour of being the first "adult" film I saw, being a drama rather than a kids film or a family friendly adventure film)

Okay so I'm on the #14 bus up Molesworth and just saw a bicycle rave up on the steps of parliament? Would anyone care to explain?
