Tweets from the future: I stopped PC Gaming because my graphics card was contributing to the New Zealand Energy Crisis of 2026 (I had to pay a $500 power bill despite rolling blackouts) (Thanks Luxon)

Understandable, if you haven't adapted like a radiotrophic fungus in Chernobyl then going on there feels like the Chernobyl liquidator on the roof of the power plant, you can only last 90 seconds before you get a lethal dose of radiation.

I hope my final meal before I die is a Steak and Cheese pie made by a Cambodian baker that speaks in an incredibly thick New Zealand accent

rare W for COINTELPRO from a legendary conversation between Bhakti Shringarpure and Mahmood Mamdani (h/t Silke-Marie Weineck)

BS: How was that? How long were you in jail?

MM: One night. They let you make one phone call, and I called the Ugandan Ambassador in Washington, DC, talked to him, and he said, “What are you doing interfering in the affairs of a foreign country?” I said, “What? We just got our independence! This is the same struggle. Have you forgotten?” Anyway, he got me out. Two or three weeks later, I was in my room. There was a knock at the door. Two gentlemen in trench coats and hats said, “FBI.” I thought, “Wow, just like on television.” They sat down. They were there to find out why I had gone – because this turned out to be big – it is after Montgomery that King organized his march on Selma. They wanted to know who had influenced me. After one hour of probing, the guy said, “Do you like Marx?”

I said, “I haven’t met him.”

Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.”

“Wow, what happened?”

“No, no, he died long ago.”

I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?”

“No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.”

I said, “Sounds amazing.”

I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx.

In America, we bomb other countries only when the stock markets are closed to prevent panic trading.

Everyone talks about the Transatlantic accent but no one ever talks about the Transpacific accent - Kiwis that grew up in New Zealand but were online enough that they have incorporated some American features in their speech.

This long weekend I’m going to crash my car into another and cause a multiple-vehicle pileup on the State Highway 1 Southern Motorway to do my part in contributing to the holiday road toll #kiwiana #roadtoll #backontrack #delays #onelaneopen

Haven't solo watched any life changing films/shows in a quite a while.
I also think I've exhausted most of the kino that prominently feature characters that I can relate to on a personal level. Things are looking rough at the moment.
