Lorde has apparently released some new thongs.

 

Underwear or footwear?

Dropped: Something mistakenly let go of

Something intentionally deleted

Something accidentally damaged

One of many definitions on meriam-webster.com (but admittedly very US-centric):

informal : to be released to the public.

“His latest solo album dropped in August.”

“The second Podcast drops Nov 14 and can be downloaded free.”

“There's also something to be said for jumping on a subscription for a month or two, say when a big, new game drops.”

No worse than broadcasters who claim to “be across” things. Just industry jargon of the type that most GZers are able to keep within their own areas of expertise.

This article in Stuff today inviting people to participate in a closed survey...

In an article about mandatory vaccines:

"A range of businesses are also rolling out mandates - one of the most recent - for domestic travel on the national carrier, Air New Zealand."

This can parse as "some business are requiring that domestic travel is with Air NZ", which has nothing to do with vaccines.

I can be as ardent as the next pedant - and NZH does publish some crap - but I think you're being a bit tough. You may be right if the sentence is read in isolation - but the article is about mandatory vaccs. In fact the headline includes the words 'vaccine mandates'. 

The thing that actually jumped out at me first was "mandates" plural followed by "one of the most recent" singular, and only after that did I notice that the sentence didn't actually make sense.

But maybe I'm just grizzling for something to do 😀

Grizzle away !

The sentence is at least factually incorrect - I read recently (somewhere) that Air NZ will accept a negative covid test. If that's true, having a vaccination is not the only way to fly.

So are we now naming individuals?

Not a headline, sometimes you have to scroll down a little bit for the goodies.

NZH today: "Ian Foster reveals what went wrong against Ireland".

Reveals? It wasn't really any secret, was it.

Then they wouldn't have anything to tell you.
