Mask Up Comments and Opinions

@commentsandopi2.bsky.social

Fact, history, opinion, and sarcasm, with an occasional side dose of sass. Primary function of being occasionally useful in between shitposting and ranting about politics! Expect bad language #CovidisNotOver #Masksinschoolsnz #MasksinHealthcare

Bagged dog poop by recycling bin

Bagged dog poop by recycling bin

Woke 2.0 will be a movement entirely dedicated to rooting out people from society who bag their dog shit then leave it on the ground.

Pretty good. Doing my best to avoid this current wave which is sweeping my workplace at the moment. Wearing a mask has worked for me for several years. Only 1 bout in 2022 thanks to kiddo bringing it home from school

Union street fire: support Haus of Hair Last month, my wonderful hairdresser and friend Gemma left her job to fulfil her dream of starting her own salon with fellow stylist Aimee. 'Haus of Hair' opened last week. I visited on Friday and wa...

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating.

I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

Jesse and Walt at the dinner meme:

Is Mario only Super Mario when he's Super Mario, or is he Super Mario all the time?

What?

The games are all Super Mario, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64, hell it's even Super Mario Kart. But in Mario Bros, he isn't Super Mario until he gets the mushroom.

But he's not called little Mario, he's called Mario and then the mushroom makes him Super Mario. But on the 64 he's always the same size. So is he Super Mario? Or just regular Mario. He's gotta be Super Mario, because of the title, but then he's always Super Mario. So why call him Super Mario in Super Mario Bros only when he gets the mushroom. So then, he's not Super Mario in Super Mario 64?

Btw can anyone who is working potentially help fundraise for my family if they ask. I am on a benefit and cannot legally collect the money without losing my limited support. Hooray for disability and being designated a second class citizen

Democracy Briefing: The Hidden politics behind NZ’s opinion polls Friday’s Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll was a political earthquake.

"When a lobby group pays for a poll, a lobbying firm conducts it, a former party operative analyses it, and a newspaper publishes the results with quotes from the lobbyists, then that is not independent journalism. It’s a supply chain of influence, and the public deserves to understand that."...

I’m guessing the one to the right of the finger tip is the one in the macro photograph - it looks the same.

An ode to little pink mushrooms, and a word about content scraping accounts.

A content-scraping account here is playing it recently, with no credit to the photographer

This time 6 years ago I was nervously watching my colleague recently returned from overseas wandering around work as normal when they were supposed to be self isolating.
Finally mentioned it to the boss after several days and no one else doing anything.
That's how little attention people were paying

You are probably aware of the concept of "suspension of disbelief". Participating in society now requires constant suspension of disbelief. Under such circumstances society can only be dysfunctional.

A long, long time ago; well, not that long, we all know 
Luxon tried to sound profound n' wise
But every time he grabbed a mic
He’d drop a line that didn’t quite
Make the trip from his brain to public eyes
Dropped a few dodgy Tik tok clips 
Then blundered on with gaffes and slips
Incapable of reflection
He lacked all direction

I don't imagine that he cried
When the small guys took him for a ride
We suspect he thought he was still astride
The day the polling died.

And we were singing:
Bye bye to your polls getting high.
Voted Luxon, just got Seymour and some racist old guy.
Too weak to control them, yet you still wonder why
Be one term of you and goodbye.
Be one term of you and goodbye.

Now, for 3 years we've been on our own
As the PM sells his investment homes
Well, that's not how it's supposed to be.
As Shane talked down to the Māori Queen
And Peters talks down all that's green,
Chris Luxon is nowhere to be seen.

Well, we know you can't control those two.
They've already had their way with you.
On that Chamber floor,
Beehive backrooms, and more. Maaaate,
A wealthy, sorted, entitled fuck,
With an unused toolkit and a car from Musk,
We knew Lux was out of luck,
The day the polling died

And we were singing:
Bye bye to your polls getting high.

He went & dissed β€œbottom feeding” folk
Like hardship was some kind of fuckin' joke
Then stared as if the backlash
Was all just staged stunt smoke 
And right on cue, the pundits came
Chanting their protective claim:
β€œThe public just needs to get to know him!”
Like a ritual they’d memorised in a cult

So bye‑bye to another Luxon misfire
From the Te Puke/Hawaii fib to the Parliament quagmire
And the media rose up like a cultic choir:
β€œOnce the public gets to know him, he’ll poll higher…
Once the public gets to know him, he’ll poll higher.β€πŸŽΆπŸŽ΅
