The Daily Blog Open Mic – 14th 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.
What’s this c..p. I am interested in important things at NZs heart. If you want to rave about ravers can’t you find somewhere else Jack?

I wonder if somebody knows whether it would be possible to graft another ‘animal friendly’ tree to the pines , so using them straight away for an advantage in bringing along the second tree on present established roots. After a season the wilding pine is trimmed back , and again in another season. This would requite more pruners but I have heard that the new methods with less attention to pruning the young pines which gives better wood, has cut down on employment. We could try it if someone at Lincoln could run research it and run an experiment on it.
