New Zealand's conservative government playbook: 1. declare war on crime 2. persecute mentally ill people 3. support police sexual assault 4. get unemployment up to a decades long high 5. persecute trans people 6. declare mental health crisis 7. release AI mental healthcare programme 8. embrace open racism in parliament 9. scramble to extend government terms from 3 years to 4 who elected these targets? seriously, what are the names of the people who elected them?

been reading about the petrodollar fiasco and China's attempt to become the new world oil currency now that USA has failed state statused itself. this prescient 2015 article talks about why Europe should (and hasn't yet but still needs to) capture that flag with a petroeuro. https://archive.is/20230224002818/https://www.ft.com/content/363355e6-1aa9-3718-b563-045ae682f801

first they came for our jobs, and the regulators said nothing because they don't do their job. then they came for our water, and the regulators said nothing because they don't hold any water. then they came for our laws, and the regulators said nothing because they are above the law. then they came for the regulators, and there was no one left to speak up because the regulators would rather die than regulate.

today I watched a movie called The Odyssey. it was impossible to like or care about any of the characters other than the cheesemaker. co-authors Homer and Chrispher Nolan lack creative ambition and any sense of justice or adventure. I suppose the film makers wanted quantity over quality, which they achieved. the hollywood A-listers improvised solid LARP performances. they all gave a good effort, particularly with their ozempic schedules. I can't unsee it myself but if you can avoid it, do.

it's funny and kind of sad seeing an ad for pizza because a more redundant message does not exist in this world and yet some dummy actually paid to show it to me. I already want pizza to the fullest extent humanly possible, advertiser. relax yourself.

if you know me at all you know how much I hate corporate owned social media and the insane, senseless, large-scale harm it does to individuals and democracies. I wrote this article for users of it, to offer them an actionable perspective they can use to eliminate risk of heart disease and depression. if there are any facebook, instagram, or tiktok users in your life, this link is shareable. (and I am fully braced for the backlash.) https://mostcapablebody.com/post/How-Social-Media-Has-You-I...

#3GoodThings 1. puppycat is maturing. he is now very well behaved and doesnt often get into his manic state. he is just a happy little catdog. 2. this rate of muscle growth is insane and I did not know it was possible for a 42 year old chap. if I had known and been doing what I am currently doing when I was 20 I could have entered a competition. I can't get over it! 3. art tomorrow. I had better things to do last week but I need to exercise some discipline and go out to my social group.

watching Secrets of the Neanderthals and it hits me like diarrhea to the nostrils every time one of these professional archaeologists admits it wasn't until 2011 before it occurred to any of them that this SPECIES OF HUMAN BEING might ever have tried eating a leaf, fruit, or seed 💀 the lifestyle of the meatitarian youtubers we denigrate today served as the batshit best theory used by "scientists" until well into the 21st century. how tf can anyone who has been inside a school be...

tonight I cooked my adaptation of a tuscan bean stew but with the addition of my plant chicken, served with sautéed courgettes and crunchy whole grain toast, it is absolutely delicious, best one yet, the trick seems to be in the timing. 🤌🤌

at our matariki party today there were cool young people and one of them tole me a story about how some youngsters today are in the news for fucked behaviours like hitting themselves in the face with hammers and rocks trying to break their own bones so they will grow into a different shaped face to the face they have, copying each other on corporate owned social media, and it reminded me there is no horror mark zuckerberg will not inflict upon people for his own sick amusement and profits.
