AI is funded by debt to buy GPUs and build data centers, which are rented to AI startups funded by debt and venture capital, who then rent their models to other AI startups funded by debt and venture capital. This "chain of pain" breaking will burst the bubble. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-...

The sooner NZ First get under 5% at an election, the sooner we can party like it’s 1999.

The NZ RW gvt is! They're thrilled tariffs are off beef & kiwifruit. They've very Trumpian: not recognising Palestine, restarting oil & gas exploration, stockpiling coal, farming's out of emissions trading, chgd methane policy, no EV reduction, methane target chgd... bsky.app/profile/nick...

@georgepenney.bsky.social Arrived today. Not sure who it’s for yet but I took a peek and now I’m tearing up. You have such gift 💚

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

This week’s episode is an interview with two lawyers who represent Leqaa Kordia, a young Palestinian woman who is in ICE detention for protesting genocide. open.spotify.com/episode/7gid...?

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Who would have thought that the announcement of the BYD Atto 1 selling for under $30k NZD would anger so many people on Facebook? It's crazy. Me and the other moderator have removed so many seething comments from people who feel threatened by this smöl car. 🤷

Listening to Alice Reynolds of the CPUC talk and she just showed this cartoon which is a keeper:

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia. It’s really that simple. (So many shameless hypocrites around.)

23 million US federal acres are under oil & gas lease for potential drilling, with ~12.4 million acres actively producing. So, no, I dont want to hear anything about land use for solar energy, which can also use rooftops, car ports, closed landfills, balconies, or even covering water canals.

The Word is Fascism. Use it to Describe Trump’s Regime. Suppose it behaves like a fascist, talks like a fascist, & relies on the strategies and talking points of fascists. In that case, it's the Trump Administration. With @muellershewrote.com thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-word-i...

Yet another warning about mixing profit motives and essential care

I thought this was an excellent post from Willie Jackson that explained the state of the economy and exactly how it got there. I'd like to see all Labour MPs repeat the exact same message again and again to try and cut through the spin from the right.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

anti-anti-fascist feels like it should have a one-word synonym

@gruber.foo what the judge seems to miss in the rules of _Calvin_ball is that implicit in the name and the first rule is that Calvin always wins. What she is describing then is better described as Trumpball

And I'm looking for either a part-time position or short term contract. Interested in writing work or public good-type comms. Life's too short to do stuff you don't believe in. Message if you know of anything that might be of interest.

So Libelle's problems weren't just financial: Ministry of Education officials warned about food safety failures going back to 2021 and tried to get the group it was part of excluded from the school lunch tender. They were ignored. This should be a scandal. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

this sounds like a Nile Red video

a real testament to how little juice the vice president has in the white house that he is wasting time shitposting on a niche social media website

This bit I put up on my way to take my kid to the playground has done weird numbers completely unasked so now I’m going to actually request a signal boost, purely because Posting would be the funniest possible way to get a comms job #nzpol #kikorangi

Hi folks, Ani is making a big deal out of @health.govt.nz being on Bluesky. Let's take a communal crap on her bollocks by ensuring Manatū Hauora gets a sizeable following, ne?

When friends, extended family, relatives, colleagues, & others in community back home were dying horribly during Covid-19, Ardern's leadership saved New Zealand from awful death, & devastation rest of world contended with. Rabid NZ anti-vaxxers spew conspiracies enjoying this luxury, & privilege.

The Catholic cardinals must be watching the ugly reaction from American fascists to the new pope and being sure they made the right choice for the right reason.

Something I want us to reeeeeeeeeally think about on the left in Aotearoa is how happily the right throw out legislation that had bipartisan support when it suits them. On climate, on equal pay, on housing. Maybe we don't need to moderate and minimise our best policies in pursuit of fake consensus.

I wonder when Trump will give Alaska back? I mean if I were Putin I’d be looking to take bit now and the rest in a few years.

The New York Times would rather give human rights to a fucking chat bot than to trans people
