This is fuckin' uncanny, how is that potato exactly Luxon? EXACTLY! #NZPol

Getting vexed by the insistence on keeping schools open at all costs.Why? One son has a Masters with Distinction, the other heading toward the same result.Both did much of their higher learning remotely through the ChCh quakes and then Covid.

In David’s defense, the only reason he said that transphobes like JK Rowling are little whinging fuckers is because they are, in fact, little whinging fuckers.

Congrats on Donald Trump for inventing the first Pyrrhic Loss

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

Tuck Shop is such a good name for a trans grocer

Such a deliberately blinkered take from NZH. Even if we stoop to the NZH’s view that Paul’s action is concerning, as Kyle notes there are number of other instances where MPs from other parties did worse on that measure. What also makes the NZH’s manufactured outrage so nefarious is that …

Where are the headlines saying, ‘Peters doubles down on making racist threats’ or ‘Seymour wipes away gains for Māori’ or ‘Collins’ hopes to increase the NZDF’s capability for murder’, or ‘Brown endangers trans NZers’, or ‘Govt supports known criminals in charge of US institutions'? #nzpol

Like i get it, i really do, but we cannot base society on the whims of petty tyrants - "the bus was late" should be a perfectly acceptable excuse by any reasonable boss

Kind of miss getting tipsy and arguing over this sort of thing in graduate school. Now I have to be sober and argue I deserve to have rights with bigots who flunked 9th grade bio.

Yo can some journalist please help me Kainga ora just text me and put u my rent by over 300 dollars as of next week I am DISABLED AND ON SLP. please help me. This will make me homeless

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

"You wanna have some drinks tonight?" "Nah, not up for that." "How about bombing a bunch of civilians?" "Not really up for that either" really taking this seriously aye luxon

I MADE THIS IN DECEMBER. I'M YELLING. I FUCKING CALLED IT LMAOOOOO

WIFE: Ok, I'm off to work… ME: Mhm. WIFE: Don't worry about the Mad Killer in town, I'm sure the news is just exaggerating for ratings. ME: Mm. Yeh. (wife leaves) WIFE: (back in the door) Oh, I almost forgot to say… I love you… ME: Look, this is a live multiplayer game, I can't really pause.

If a company sells defective bikes we don't bam them for kids and let adults still use them lol we regulate the industry so the bikes are safe for everyone! Same with social media

There's a word for this

On transatlantic teleconfs, I deliberately use "table" as a verb knowing it will cause confusion. (UK and Commonwealth: bring up for discussion. North America: remove from discussion).

Uhhh, he was in a coma on Cyprus for the entire run of The Muppet Show? Does accuracy mean anything anymore?

i’ve literally watched this like 30 times since last night and it only keeps getting more funny

This, but unironically

i humbly submit that 15% of $4 a litre is more than 15% of $3 a litre.

we will simply allow market forces to direct who gets petrol. this is an efficient decision and has no downsides

If a 64kb/s mp3, which is a 20th of the data as an uncompressed wave on a cd, constitutes copyright infringement then yeah a models weights storing entire books verbatim absolutely does too

Whoa. "[F]inetuning exclusively on Haruki Murakami's novels unlocks verbatim recall of copyrighted books from over 30 unrelated authors...Our findings offer compelling evidence that model weights store copies of copyrighted works." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

As I understand it (which is, admittedly, poorly) this would be a real problem for the fair use case AI companies are making?

don't forget to leave a hot dog out on the counter tonight, or baseball won't leave you any presents

Huge red flag when a guy's always like "one more murder." Yeah dude you said that the last time. You're a serial killer

Shut the fuck up

wouldn't be the first time disney killed sora

KNEEL. BLEED. DIE.

Breaking: luxxo announces his mad max name

I saw someone describe DLSS5 as "Incel Shading" and I am furious at how good a joke that is.

Top UK journalist Laura Kuenssberg: "Why would Israel say something that is not true?"

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

Japan has a woman PM.

I expect that if you are a videogameplaying person on here, following me, then you probably already own genre-bestriding British stealth ramshackle robot-avoider Sir, You Are Being Hunted. But in case you do not: it's -40% on Steam at the moment.

tried to ask my dad Saturn for some advice on saving $$$ in groceries, but he was just like "eat your son" ???

is this one of them v tubers people are obsessed with these days

So I read this in about 2010's. At the time I thought, omg, we will never do this again. Instead all our tech companies are racing to make money off this war. I am ashamed of their glee for literally being at the face of genocide.

A government so broken, fiscally & morally, that it will shave off public services here, there, and everywhere. People in Aotearoa need to understand that a vote for National, ACT, and NZ First is a vote against their own health & safety, not just on the personal care front, but environmental too.

The government only exists as an embodiment of the desire for all of society to cooperate for the greater good, so when the government says it doesn't want to blunt the pain of a crisis, it's abdicating the responsibility at the core of its existence

Government have quietly changed Covid booster schedule from 6 months to 12 months with zero public promotion.

oh fuck me

A media that was actually interested in informing the public would remind us that people who have been more credibly accused of such crimes include: - Party leaders - Sitting MPs - High ranking police officers

I’m going to start teaching my kids about Geoffrey Wednesday, the magic fairy who leaves full size snickers bars in the shoes of every pleasant child on Wednesdays. oh, Geoffrey Wednesday didn’t leave candy in your shoes this week? I guess it’s because you’re going to hell
