The Daily Blog Open Mic – 22nd August 2025

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.

  1. If hundred of persons are applying for one receptionist position, the understaffed call centres who routinely advise callers that they are experiencing “ an unusually high volume of calls” could give employ them – in New Zealand, the Philippines, Bangelore, Venzuela, wherever they may be located.I prefer that such jobs go to New Zealanders, but the money grubbers will go where it’s cheap, cheap, cheap.

    What next will be sold that is our heritage? The soldier ants are chewing up bits of NZAO and trucking it away. ‘Everythings up to date in Kansas City’ – what next!

    Oho hold on to your underpants – the clever businessmen in charge here may sell our underwear industry and the new owners start putting a lien on their wares and take them back if you don’t pay every time you wear them. They are doing that with music and audio sales already. You think you pay and own something but a mistake, there is a change along the line and the ability to use it is withdrawn.

    Sort of like the folk tale parallels I draw sometimes. The hero wants something and the giver says okay but in the future I will want repayment in some form. So you get the something and enjoy it and then along comes Rumplestiltskin and throws a wobbly – in the tale, if you guess his actual name he is defeated. But there are open secrets, just confusion these days you know and you can’t believe that Rump. will pull such a deal; but you don’t know nuffing really.

    ” When the war broke out, the only 2 world leaders who said we needed a negotiated peace, were Trump and Ardern
    How’s that for a pair ”

    In my story there was never a ‘Trump’*, but there sure is a realism-Ardern. I guess she is the reason why Luxon&Peters cruelly pretend I don’t exist.
    *Is this why whoever is the ‘Trump’ (and those like Farrar) in New Zealand’s story toward our new major party are slow and egoistic?
