sometimes I think I should be vegetarian but then my kid watches Peppa Pig and I change course, I would kill and eat that whole revolting family out of pure spite

Managed to get nearly an hour of painting streaming done before some old mates dropped by and this is where we ended up

everything is TERRIBLE so I am streaming a Bob Ross paint-a-long in an effort to be AGGRESSIVELY WHOLESOME and defeat the powers of ENDLESS BULLSHIT now live on Twitch, YouTube or Bluesky streaming alternative @stream.place www.twitch.tv/two_ruru www.youtube.com/tworuru stream.place

Feminine lean. Hips angled submissively. This is thetamaxxing

This politics post has been brought to you by recent centrist opinionist media pronouncements concerning the New York (US) and Wellington (NZ) mayoralties.

You can spot centrists by the way they make excuses for even the most insane right-wing stuff but if a leftist wins or governs anything the centrist will scream and scream and scream and scream

If I had to place this picture I would say it is in Nurnen, circa TA2952, after Sauron’s return to the Barad-Dûr but before his presence had soured that land.

"Fuck", said Frodo, scrambling down the slopes above Lake Hawea. "Have they got a resource consent for that?" asked Sam, following behind.

someone said my Bob Ross paint-a-long looked like Mordor so I added a happy little Barad-Dûr #art #lotr

Not at all! This is an incredible rendition of Sammath Naur, Sauron’s terrible forge in the heart of Orodruin. The only thing it’s missing is Gollum falling to his Doom

I would have paid to see the Blues Brothers perform two songs only to leave abruptly without explanation and so would you

This: centrism is bunk. A trash ideology for dickheads who just want Very Savvy excuses as a cloak for their dickheadism

I have a code name for my new project already but I’m considering renaming it to Paint Against The Machine

it's like solarpunk without the apocalypse first

Feeling overwhelmed at the lawlessness? Get involved locally. Concrete, real-world resistance to fascism in your own community is better for you than doomscrolling.

I’m sure it’s normal for ADHD people to spend every single afternoon feeling like they’ve been poisoned because it’s been happening to me since I was a teenager, but man if anyone knows a way around this I’m all ears

Kate's right. I just had a lovely pint of 4.7% ale at 2pm in a Belgian pub in New Zealand. This morning I finished a little woodworking project. Later I'm going to watch The Transporter 2, with some trepidation. Not everything can be The Horror.

"We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism... But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism and all its genocidal, authoritarian trappings has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism"🎯 We need writers like Dave M to expose this liberal fantasy.

I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation. But that’s all predicated on the idea that it *does* work, often too well for people to manage…

Actually no. No! Nuts to the doom. This is the sky today. The actual blue sky. The pale blue dot, on the dot. Doom? I refuse the question. Going to art up a storm, make all the things, go outside, be human just to spite the inhumanity

Weary reminder that peremptory dismissal is mostly - entirely rightfully - unlawful in most cases in NZ & if you actually want accountability for crappy behaviour for someone demanding their employer immediately sack them both won't achieve that & undermines employment security for everyone.

A good article, worth reading for #nzpol too. archive.is/j6k9J

It’s dark outside, and more than little cold. We have the heaters and the heat pump heating; it’s toasty but there’s still that nip you can feel about your feet and ears. How are folks doing?

Much as it sucks sometimes, we collectively have to let people defect from ideas that cause harm. If people have been antivaxxers, transphobes, whatever, they're not going to shift out of that mindset if the door is shut behind them.

Ruth Richardson: Yes, extreme poverty doubled under my policies, in a spike that never reversed - but what would YOU have done, Jack Tame? #kiwi #newzealand
