The Daily Blog Open Mic – 17th October 2024

Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog,  3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.

All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.

EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world  and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

    …The statement noted that the couple understood their conduct fell short of the values of the New Zealand String Quartet Trust as well as the university’s Staff Conduct Policy.
    The musicians – who are married and have performed with the group for 30 years – are also long-time members of staff at Victoria University of Wellington’s School of Music….

    Makes me think:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_
    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a socialist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    We now need a Citizens Charter and Direction and cut half of the foreigners ie UK USA and Australian as well as Indian immigrants out. NZAO for us first, before we become the theme park that I wondered would be our final devolution.

    The devolution we need is from the main beehive to smaller hamlets running cheaply and only paid for achieved wanted outcomes; employing mainly older citizens who have had working lives and know what working families need. There can be fun fisticuffs each Friday night about disagreements which will be settled with a minimum of angst, and philosophical discussions aiming to equal Monty Python.
