Disco Stu popped up in 1995, but was he a “disco sucks” joke or confirmation that disco was now entirely out of play as a cultural issue?

I hope Goldsmith’s correct statement that it’s up to elected officials to decide is rolled up and hung around his neck in all future reporting on the consequences of this fucking stupid and inhumane initiative

Snap! Well it’s not too late to get started. You could apply this across multiple areas, just fuck the coalition off royally by still doing 1pm briefings on their failings as if you’re still the government, trigger their “one source of truth” PTSD from 2020

If I worked for the Opposition, I would have held a full media conference celebrating what should have been day one of iReX and hammering home the costs of the bungle. Then another one when the cost of the thrown together Plan B exceed the worst-case scenario for iReX costs. A whole calendar of them

Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו @netanyahu Translated from Hebrew The blood libel known as the "Sde Teiman Affair" against the warriors of Force 100, which has damaged Israel's reputation in the world in an unprecedented manner, has reached its end. It is unacceptable that it took so much time to close the case that was handled in a criminal manner against IDF warriors who confront the worst of our enemies. The State of Israel must pursue its enemies, not its heroic warriors. https://x.com/netanyahu/status/2032120342919987651

ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz @Israel_katz Translated from Hebrew Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path. https://x.com/Israel_katz/status/2032091667537309860

Could this be a solution?

I’m forever grateful for your dad’s works specifically because they became a totally unexpected shared joy with my own dad. I have been trading the books back and forth with him for 20 years plus now and it has given us a common language. One story of millions I am sure but that is ours.

My literal entire life has happened against a backdrop of pre-1984 social and physical infrastructure aging out, falling to pieces or being stripmined for short term gain with nothing adequate to replace it. Clark really had the final opportunity to turn things around, and whiffed it.

Our arable farmers are going to convert to Dairy on the Canterbury Plains because there's no 'market' for frozen products, our mills have shut down because we export raw logs

Our economy is 'housing market with bits tacked on', the fundamentals of our economy are broken.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

It’s reached a really depressing equilibrium where it’s half genAI and half authentic content that’s indistinguishable from AI because people have decided that’s what the algorithm wants

Best we can do is fly him out there again to stand up and look contrite, if the community can stand the sight of him

Hmm. Sure is a challenge maintaining inter-regional transport connections across NZ with rising avgas prices and tickets nobody can afford. Tricky situation. Seems to call for some form of hi-tech electric airline, it could run on socially agreed routes with an integrated timetable, almost like a ra

Merchant vessel Seaway Hawk transporting decommissioned U.S. Navy Avenger-class Mine Countermeasures Ships USS Devastator, USS Dextrous, USS Gladiator and USS Sentry in the Delaware Bay to unload in Philadelphia tomorrow - March 9, 2026 SRC: FB- Delaware River Shipping / Andy Wyrick 📷

We live in a world beyond parody. The United States has had four minesweeper vessels in the Persian Gulf for 35 years. Just yesterday these ships arrived in Philadelphia to be decommissioned, a day before Iran announces that they are mining the Strait of Hormuz.

The Japanese have already died laughing at the idea.

Pulling the pin on the Hyundai deal in the way this government did had far wider cultural repercussions than these bunch of fucking idiots realise

The Point can be very hard to beat sometimes

Culture war-driven, vibes-based, global-far-right-power-grab-directed politics result in yuuuuge government competency-deficits that are incredibly hard to recover from. The US is the tragic example writ large across the planet; our local lot are more embarrassing simply for being ours.

Also, very likely this:

This should have been taken as the clearest possible signal of the new government’s inadequacies, but it got the honeymoon period pass and two years on the gallery can’t get themselves particularly interested in “boats”

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

It’s a uniquely vivid and revealing fuck-up because the consequences of their idiotic, overconfident wrecking ball approach are so easily quantifiable on paper against a largely fixed initial cost. Bigger damage is being inflicted elsewhere but will remain diffuse and uncounted (including by design)

AAAAAGH they're still going to have to replace the entire Picton Portside because it was munted and that's what iRex was doing, they're still going to have to build temporary buildings while they do that and that's what iRex was doing, they're going to need mor shit at Wellington and that's what iRe

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast."
