Buck the Sheep - why is everyone posting Buck the Sheep? Why is Kiwibank issuing copyright strikes? This thread is a quick run down on the events that lead to the green sheep craze gripping New Zealand Twitter this week (art credit goes to @impwurt on X)

hand-drawn rendition of Kiwibank sheep Buck, heavily based on the painting 'Anguish' by August Friedrich Schenck (1878). the death of her ownself when born depicts the ouroboric nature of the state-owned bank's mascot

Three Kiwibank staffers cornered me at the Pak ‘n Save beer and wine section today and they showed this picture of Buck the Sheep and said “you will never have this.” Then one of the staffers took my wallet, took my Kiwibank debit card out and shredded it as they walked away.

I’d like to apologise to the furry artists on Bluesky for causing Kiwibank to issue false DMCA take down requests on all sheep furry art. They may have got pissed that I popularised their green sheep mascot to the wider internet.

Imagine building your entire party around a flagship Land Value Tax policy and then you release your bottom lines and there is not even a hint of any sort of tax reform or UBI in it. Like at this point rename Opportunity to the Cuckfidence and Suckply Party.

I think breaking up Foodstuffs will not fix the underlying causes of high grocery prices but I think it's a terrific idea because all the supermarket owners are posting the same template sob story on social media to try and convince the public why they shouldn't be broken up.

rare W for COINTELPRO from a legendary conversation between Bhakti Shringarpure and Mahmood Mamdani (h/t Silke-Marie Weineck)

BS: How was that? How long were you in jail?

MM: One night. They let you make one phone call, and I called the Ugandan Ambassador in Washington, DC, talked to him, and he said, “What are you doing interfering in the affairs of a foreign country?” I said, “What? We just got our independence! This is the same struggle. Have you forgotten?” Anyway, he got me out. Two or three weeks later, I was in my room. There was a knock at the door. Two gentlemen in trench coats and hats said, “FBI.” I thought, “Wow, just like on television.” They sat down. They were there to find out why I had gone – because this turned out to be big – it is after Montgomery that King organized his march on Selma. They wanted to know who had influenced me. After one hour of probing, the guy said, “Do you like Marx?”

I said, “I haven’t met him.”

Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.”

“Wow, what happened?”

“No, no, he died long ago.”

I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?”

“No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.”

I said, “Sounds amazing.”

I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx.

Haven't solo watched any life changing films/shows in a quite a while. I also think I've exhausted most of the kino that prominently feature characters that I can relate to on a personal level. Things are looking rough at the moment.
