Categories are fake, there will always be weird edge cases where the boundaries fail, this is just a fact. The question is not "is this category REAL or TRUE" the question is "is this category USEFUL" because categories are tools, not features of the universe.

7/ Every other accommodation provider in this country has to meet accomodation standards. Motels do. Hostels do. Backpackers do. Why do Airbnbs get a pass?

If you get the chance you should watch the film with live orchestra playing the soundtrack

For a string player in an orchestra it’s useful for pitching big shifts (<0.01% of the job) and not useful for playing in tune with other people (>99.99% of the job)

the main problem with video as a format is that it's too slow at dispensing information. I can read much faster than you can talk and there's no way you can address this without becoming incomprehensible to most of the audience.

500 years ago, people starting building pā all over northern NZ—fortifying their settlements with rows of palisades, cut from nearby bush. Why? What were pā defending—or trying to say? The trees themselves, combined with mātauranga Māori, tell a story. www.nzgeo.com/stories/the-... 🇳🇿🧪 #archaeology

On a wet mid winter day we can have over 50 waiting in the trees for their turn - and the feeder needs a lot of refilling. This time of year is much quieter!

I am trying to get in touch with the whānau of Dave Terangi, a Ngāpuhi fella who lived in Margaret St, Papakura. We did some research with Dave, and we know he has since died, but we would like to return a taonga. If anyone knows his whānau, pls DM me. Also Pls retweet (so to speak).

It's very boring and slow to drag people towards your position and I too get frustrated by policies which seem obviously good being treated like they're crazy or pipe dreams. But withholding your vote from all leftish parties because they aren't leftish enough is bullheaded dipshittery

Whatever you do,

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN."

Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Increasingly I keep being told by normies that they would “love to go to the symphony someday” and it’s starting to drive me crazy because if you want to go, you can just go! It’s not a once-in-a-lifetime thing! It’s not expensive! You don’t have to know anything! Just buy a ticket and go!

I love that seals are so graceful and perfect underwater and such complete galumphing sacks on land and that they choose the land anyway, constantly. I desire to be as comfortable in uncomfortable spaces as they are, to roll about like a sausage falling down the stairs

The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes.
This is the definition of woke.

Now this is cool. Overseas comedian making a joke about Kiwis not having a chant. Then someone in the audience sings out Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi and the whole audience shouts Hi aue hei in response. So the comedian tries to learn it. Good vibes, real kiwis. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...
