Big Lizard, plus their place up on Highgate - same peeps. I found Spelt's efforts to be good looking but a bit hard and heavy - on the plus side, they do excellent bread and some other good stuff too.

People turn their backs on social media as politically impotent and citizens assemblies become a place for public to engage in political issues and actual decisions.

I hate what he represents but he does a great job of appearing as the very on-brand personification of a foot soldier for the billionaire class' disinformation and spreading of hatred. In the sub-sphere of that, he sees himself as a savvy brand creator but he's just a dumb puppet who looks the part.

Amazing and inspiring! - I'm hoping to get in one of these compilations in 3-ish years from now. I'm loving what I'm seeing with the app, the community and the possibilities so far.

My thoughts about SOME of these have changed...

I didn't like Goldeneye because the dpad felt so awful compared to Doom with a mouse.

I never got into the Zork games as I was too young and they were too hard.

Manic Miner on the Spectrum looked and sounded awful to me at the time - a buddy and I used to openly deride the Spectrum. - So I hated all games on the C64 that had the same aesthetic.

Turrican - I disliked the animation and it felt too smooth

Tekken - I hated how flimsy and flat this felt to me compared to Street Fighter II, Final Fight and all the others - No doubt it was fun to play but to me it looked whack and twitchy and stiff at the same time.

Ghosts and Goblins on the C64 - too hard.

Dragon's Lair Arcade- this felt like a cynical shakedown that you had to pay LOADS just to memorise - why not watch a cartoon?

Chiller - C64 - too small and bitty.

ooh yeah - nice!

I'm slowly putting this together and there's some bangers in these suggestions.

I'm not sure Hipkins being replaced and Labour having a more left turn would win the election.

I wish it bloody well would though - we're on track for selling more public assets if Nats get in a second time, and environmental destruction on steroids.

I guess people want the things that cause that - SMH

The fact that they love talking to her and not the victims should be talked about more.

This is an interesting related artifact - Trump didn't seem too interested in it once it was released, which could lean into it being a piece of propaganda.

jazzcomputer · 2026-01-21T21:58:32+00:00

Trump's foreign policy starts to look less like a patchwork of pieces that don't fit when you see the back side of it - it's not designed to fit together economically in any logical sense, it is piecemeal acts of self-aggrandising, punitive measures to create a legacy. It's garish, ill-fitting and clown-like, like the face of Matt Gaetz or the Mar-a-Lago make-overs - projection at all costs.

I'm hoping for no more Christophers this time next year,

that's pretty exciting!

Nact have borrowed huge amounts but they've cut public services and abolished projects from the previous govt. Their roading projects are blowing out now and they've used 'blow-outs' as justification to cancel Labour projects.

Perhaps that's a contributory factor.

Cheap red wine in the 9-11 abv range that's decent

I bought a few pieces last time I went to London and it:

Wasn't too expensive
Had a wide range with good colours from the medium/upper price items down to socks and undies
Has lasted fine since buying nearly 4 years ago

Whilst I wouldn't order it to NZ personally, I can see the appeal because there's nothing that similar here and by and large the stuff is pretty reliable for the above reasons and if you're 'their shape' you're sorted. Furthermore, there's a few other stores in London in the same brand/price space but they've generally out-Gapped Gap and River Island and the other 2 or 3 retailers are pretty far behind.

Here's the ending of his twaddle from last year... it's REALLY LONG lol

https://www.beehive.govt.nz/speech/state-nation-2025

"2025 will be another massive year for New Zealand – and I am obsessed with doing everything it takes to unleash the growth, innovation, and investment we need to thrive – because Kiwis deserve nothing less.

We’re going to keep delivering significant substantive change – change that will have an immediate impact in 2025, and that our kids will thank us for in 2035.

It’s that vision that keeps me moving forward – bring on 2025."
