The Daily Blog Open Mic – 5th April 2023
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.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, 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.

Why can’t women wear full-body clothes? We know they don’t run out of material. It seems to me a ‘look at me’ show-off-some skin or dress to draw notice in desperation perhaps?
Can we have a year of dressing quietly for women and men can let out their wilder fashion dreams have outlet? Dress perhaps like NZs own Split Enz or the old style ‘teddy boys’ in luminous ties, drainpipe trousers and brothel creepers.

The name of Julian Assange in the USA gives excited congressmen another place to hang their hat. (Don’t know about the wimin.)

I like opening quote.
“Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.”

The difference between burlesque and the newspapers is that the former never pretended to be performing a public service by exposure.
