The Daily Blog Open Mic – 24th March 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.
Alex O’Connor philosophy. Here are a few minutes of reasoned discussion – how often we have these every day with the people we know and love! Or anyone? Nil desperandum.

Is this Gilbert and Sullivan for today or yesterday.?

Fascinating Aïda’s post-Brexit song – So Sorry Scotland
Are we performing any political satire stuff in Kiwiland? If so we need to report it and put it up here, we need to hear from the remotest corners of the country even MadJock the Sheep-s…er and his excruciating limerick on Gnashional dancing with Act and Labour. Maybe it’s about that time I heard of where they formed a huge conga line that started at the top of the hurdy-gurdy beehive and threaded its circular downward way to collapse in a heap on the grounded floor (e&oe).
When the Titanic was going down there were sacrificial creatives playing music to die for (did any of those last minute survivors name the playlist for the event?). We should keep a record of our attempts at humour and satire. As the saying goes ‘It would be funny if it weren’t so serious’, but even that is perhaps missing the (gallows) humour.
