Gerard lumped in with the Zizians is something indeed; something wonderfully insane.
Henceforth I'll make sure to only mention Gerard in the same breath with, I dunno, Jim Jones and David Koresh?

Not to be this guy but I’m not sure doubling down on “climate change isn’t an existential threat to human society” is the most effective evidence-based, play-it-cool messaging that climate scientists have ever come up with

Personally, getting reclassified from "civilian just trying to secure computers" to "valid military target" doesn't sound like much fun. Especially given that the country I live in is currently trying to recreate 1930's Germany while helping fund the Israeli government's genocide. 3/3

The mechanics of social disavowal are so fascinatingly powerful and terrible to observe.
Every doctors office I go to says if you're sick, you're required to wear a mask, but also there's always someone (an adult) with very visible cold/flu/rsv/covid symptoms and no one even offers those folks a mask. Meanwhile, I get weird looks from people in most waiting rooms?

The Govt's rationing speclialist (aka MSD) is overheating trying to constrain benefit spending, but the number of people on a working-age benefit continues to sail way above forecasts. We are watching a permanently scarring event here. Grim.

The Boomers grow older, as they predicted.
And then, one day, they saw down every tree in the orchard to build their retirement cabin.
"I'm done with the orchard," they tell their kids and grandkids. "It's all yours. Enjoy!"
And now, they're annoyed when their descendants complain.

Realising that I have a vocal tic of "mih shmih?" that I use when offering something to someone, and that no one else says that, that's a uniquely me-brand weird.

There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.
More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.
There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.
