The Daily Blog Open Mic – 11th November 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.
Wow!
There will be no persistent and forceful questioning.
“The Beehive complained to Newsroom about his persistent and forceful questioning of the prime minister, with suggestions it was rude and police at the event had been watching the reporter.”

Good eg on how to find good news amongst the detritus in the rubbish bin. Scavenging is a necessary, useful skill in these thin times.

National is for rural people at its base support? What do Fed Farmers do about this, or are they fed up with family farmers? Time for new high and low land Clearances?

Squeezing the last good bits of Kiwiland business out of the tube – who wants to live in a country as empty as a toothpaste tube?

Song – ‘If there’s something you enjoy you can be certain that – It’s illegal, it’s immoral or it makes you fat’, (or in these days of scientific studies, it can make you sick or kill you). Oh well. another day, another toxin, Hey funtime – a tocsin about a toxin.

Why attention on this? I guess that surveillance can be more easily set up and used, and excused – as in gathering 3 different times of being nearby and possibly watchful. Some people will be accused quite wrongly just for liking the view.
