The Daily Blog Open Mic – 12th October 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.

Oh great this National gang must have their trousers starched so they can rely on firm support to stand tall though as limp as wet toilet paper, and lie, lie, lie, our country away – why – there’s money in it for them.
Spreading the word with Big Tech and messaging conservative approved systems of surveillance capitalism.
How churches (US) use data and AI as engines of surveillance.

Thanks for that Neo. Its the sort of thing that I don’t want to know, feels like a cup of cold sick.
A bit of news that cropped up on the google presentation. From morningside – a device to be watched and read carefully, I think we have noted it before.
https://www.morningside.nz/news/an-uninhabited-island-off-new-zealand-could-be-opened-to-the-public-as-early-as-2026/
The island’s remoteness has protected rare species, but isolation isn’t a complete shield. Climate shifts, invasive threats, and illegal landings still nibble at its safety. Opening the island in a controlled way could add eyes, funding, and pride to its protection.
There’s a simple idea gaining traction: use smart limits to make access part of the island’s long-term survival, not its undoing. As many rangers say, “Access can either be a risk or a remedy—execution decides.”…
Another bit of NZAO, hopefully by money-grabbing real estate ferrets, to be wrested from our hands by smart manipulation. Sell it to a grand seigneur who then takes charge of it and carries out DOC requirements for a while – then decides to set up a Jeffrey Epstein for some to resort to, maybe. But there will be a problem say seabirds shitting on the pristine surroundings and wanting to swim in the pool etc. and then…
This is the age of cynicism and for good reason.
