Coach

 I notice the Wellington thug Umaga has been proposed as an assistant coach for the All Blacks.

 Do the players need to be taught how to hit people with a sheila's handbag?

Cultural Appropriation

 Cultural Appropriation at it's worst!

 

Disgrace, in it's extreme: Cultural appropriation has been evidenced once again, this time by the addition of a random swirly design on a red T-shirt. 

This is simply wrong, theft of one culture by another.

That a human created T-shirt should be vandalised by the addition of a quasi sub-human design should mean jail, and subsequent capital (or at least corporal) punishment for the perpetrator!

We (humans) should no longer stand for this travesty! 

Oil

 Oil prices started to rise a couple of days ago.

Refined oil at the new price has not yet reached New Zealand.

Petrol prices around New Zealand have skyrocketed. 

Could New Zealand's lack of an oil extraction and oil refinery industry have anything to do with this?

Why isn't the communist cunt in jail for sabotage of the country? 

Why MSM Is Failing: Example 5602

 The headline (and link): 

Explained: How can we regulate asteroid mining?

I haven't listened to this interview. I'm deaf. I can't. BUT ...............

The gumph explaining the A/V:

 There's growing debate about the future of asteroid mining, as technology keeps making new advancements.

 These new developments have prompted concerns about how this process can be regulated, as it looks more likely asteroid mining will take off by the end of the decade.

 Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan says there's plenty to be mined from asteroids - and it will likely reduce the environmental impacts on Earth.

 "But at the same time, a lot of researchers, a lot of lawyers think we do need a monitoring mechanism for this activity."

 Let's look at that gumph:

 There's growing debate about the future of asteroid mining, as technology keeps making new advancements.

I suggest this comment is correct if you consider growing debate as meaning there has been two, rather than the normal one discussion(s) over coffee during morning tea.

  These new developments have prompted concerns about how this process can be regulated, as it looks more likely asteroid mining will take off by the end of the decade.

 Concerns? For an activity that does not exist? Other than by the always-greedy tax man by who? "Professional regulators and their enablers are too busy attempting to regulate human thought to yet even think of spacemen.

 Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan says there's plenty to be mined from asteroids - and it will likely reduce the environmental impacts on Earth.

 Now We start to see the reason for the piece. A Law-school teacher with delusions of grandeur wants some publicity so does what most of her type do to get it: invent something and pretend someone (also invented) is concerned.

 "But at the same time, a lot of researchers, a lot of lawyers think we do need a monitoring mechanism for this activity."

The big lie to justify the waste of space: "a lot of researchers, a lot of lawyers" in this case meaning Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan.

I seriously doubt you will find more than ten other people, World wide, concerned about the same thing - and every one of those will be communist tax-collectors. 

I suspect, based on the writing and lies that  Waikato University Senior Lecturer in Law Anna-Marie Brennan is a rather large woman, hence the word "lot".

This story was headlined on NewstalkZB not, as would be expected, as entertainment but as "news", no doubt to fill some sort of "science" quota.

Notably the gumph itself makes no attempt to offer the suggestion of the A/V actually explaining how can we regulate asteroid mining.

I fear for the future of both NewstalkZB and Waikato University.

God Defend New Zealand! 

  

Missed!

 I notice the Navy managed to avoid hitting the South Island at Akaroa yesterday but left an oil-slick behind while doing so.

Both things (the island and the boat) remaining undamaged is a win.

Well done the incompetent lesbian driving the boat. 

Grok

  

I have become an almost regular user of Grok, not, as some others, to produce screeds of unreadable, often wrong bullshit and pretend it is considered opinion but to query and control my thoughts and memories.

It’s good stuff usually, although more like a conversation at the pub rather than a visit to the library. The pub throws up all sorts of angles and memories rather than just basic facts.

Grok, and, based on my experience, all AI, still makes the same mistakes and pays no mind to the fact that, humanity moving ahead so fast in my lifetime, I was there when certain events happened.

The term GIGO comes to mind but it’s better than that.

Grok appears often more correlation than intelligence, spouting the popular version rather than the unpopular factual version or adding the unpopular version as an afterthought, very much like a lively pub conversation.

I rather like it.

LDS

  

We have all seen it, TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, whether we cede it or not.

Many examples exist in today’s papers where reports from all parts of the world present people and groups who oppose American actions simply because they are led by Trump and his cohort of successful people.

Trump could wander across a bay, scoop a boatload of babies out of the mouths of great white sharks and the headlines would accuse him of starving innocent animals (and being unable to swim).

In New Zealand this is changing slightly.

In New Zealand this is quickly morphing into LDS, Luxon Derangement Syndrome.

This does not surprise; brain-dead slime scum that make up the main-stream media have attacked Luxon mindlessly since he first rose to the heady hights of National “leadership”, I assume because his history resembles a very poor version of John Key, New Zealand’s most successful politician.

What does surprise is the complete and utter fuckwits who pretend to be “right of centre” who also exhibit this syndrome.

At this point I state that I have very little time for Luxon and Luxon and his type are the very reason I will never vote National (I’d rather abstain than do so) but the increasing attacks from the unable-to-think, faux right-wing commenters appear to be swaying some of the proletariat, most of whom were subject to a New Zealand “education” and more often than not are unable to think for themselves, away from a Government (Nat/ACT/NZF) who are slowly succeeding.

I call on those not-overly-bright producers of often boring, always too long, hogwash about how bad Luxon and the current National-led Government are to pass their stuff to an adult with editorial ability and who will assess their output for fairness and honesty before they jump into print with it.

Overtime the long-suffering people of New Zealand may thank you for your thoughfulness.
