Dictionary.com’s word of the year is “6-7,” a Gen Alpha slang term with no actual definition.

Oxford’s word of the year is “rage bait” and Cambridge picked "parasocial."

Together, they paint a picture of digital nihilism. https://buff.ly/53z5RCh

Erica Stanford showing how far National has lost its way

"if schools wish to uphold the treaty as many have reconfirmed their position, then they are free to do so"

The state of that. Damning.

Optional upholding of our founding constitutional agreement. SMH.

i mustn't discourse. discourse is the mind-killer. discourse is the little death that brings total obliteration.

I will permit discourse to flow through & around me.
when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where discourse has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Luxon thinks he's a great leader and is politically smart, when we can all see that he is just ... not. The gap between his ego and his ability is a fucking abyss. He's such an embarrassment.

I love the fact that if I do a web search for Pallas’s Cat, this is one of the first four images that shows up.

There's a lot of self image tied up in always being right for these folks. So they twist reality, and themselves, in complex knots to explain how superior they are.

It's hard to believe that there is still a significant portion of New Zealanders who look at the country now and think "Yep, this is better than 2 years ago, eh"

Look. What I say to you is this.

Raise a glass this Christmas to all those who we've:

Made jobless
Given pay cuts to
Booted from emergency housing
Denied medical care to
Stripped benefits from
Vilified and scapegoated
Driven offshore

For they have made me and my mates happier and richer

I realise there's a lot more to be concerned about, but one thing I can't wrap my head around is how this actually came to be? How is *everyone* involved just not so embarrassed they let this go ahead? Why would he event accept such a pity prize?
It makes no sense

One of the obvious impacts of Govt not investing into a downturn is tanking taxes (= higher deficits). Countless examples across the world, but sadly most of our reckonomics commentariat are small island caveman monetarists, so, prices going up? Ug. Throw kiwis on the dole, ug, crash economy. [🧵1/n]

“Dad, she can fire us.”

Me: “Oh no. Fired. Kid, you are a teenager with no bills to pay working retail. Getting fired will not make you homeless, and I promise you that you will quickly find another retail job. Your dignity doesn’t come as cheap as $13.50 an hour.”

if you study hard, make sacrifices, fail a few times, keep going, get into a competitive program, prove yourself, spend wisely, save money, plan your budget, take care of your body, and pay it forward, you can see it all go up in flames just to make eight or nine god-emperors even more money
