Please believe me when I say that this meaningless, historically suspect slogan is being used to sell "AI." Here it is in the just-released November 2025 report on AI by Microsoft. www.microsoft.com/en-us/resear...

This is me and from my point of view every time I fall asleep she's... just... there...

"It’s deeply alarming...Why are they trying to reframe this history? We need to grapple with it.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The alarming thing here isn't just that they discovered asbestos in a children's toy. Or even that it's the second time in a week. It's that there's still so much asbestos being snuck into things that they have to routinely test for it

Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

“This Bill enables new payment models like subscriptions or post-payment, and allows private companies to offer easy, set-and-forget billing options - similar to how many of us already pay for power or streaming services." Spinning late-stage capitalism as a benefit is insane policy making. #nzpol

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."

jeffrey epstein won't see your jokes about how poorly written his emails were, but your barely literate friends also won't see them, because they can't read. fire away

The projections from 2023 are shown here (green dashed line): a rapid reduction in emissions was projected, with the gap to the NDC only 58Mt... 26Mt better than now projected. 4/-

That means that if we'd followed the 2023 policy track, we could have avoided over $1 billion in offshore mitigation to meet New Zealand's 2030 Paris Agreement NDC (>20Mt at say ~$NZ50/t). /ends

You want a James Bond movie idea? Try this: A guy wakes up in a tuxedo without knowing who or where he is. A note in his pocket directs him to go to MI6. There he's informed that he has been part of a program to train and prepare the new Agent 007, his past erased. Call it THE BOND IDENTITY.

This is more fucked up than you'll expect. The slave Jefferson impregnated, Sally Hemmings, was _his wife's sister in law_, as his father in law impregnated Sally's slave mother. Jefferson _kept the children as slaves_, freeing 2 of them eventually, and the last 2 only _in his will when he died_.

Given recent erratic behaviour there's a small chance that TPM won't really feature at the next election, which would be a problem for a change of govt because even if all of TPM's votes flowed back to Labour, there would be fewer seats in it because of coat-tailing.

In light of today’s email dump, I will say I have at various times found my way into online discussion spaces containing a fair number of important and powerful men, and it is the greatest cure to imposter syndrome that humanity has yet devised

A pedophile game show host and gang of third-tier comedians with podcasts helped the Nazis retroactively win WW2. You're not going crazy. This is what actually happened.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month

oh word? damn that's crazy, if only anyone had brought it up to her at the time

Is any Government agency doing any due diligence? or has the gutting of public service rendered it incapable of doing so? I don't care that there has been retroactive action to "fix" this. The contract needs to be cancelled.

hook JD up to one of those "experience period cramps" machines and watch him crumble before your eyes

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"

In today’s NZ Herald

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

The last New Zealand tobacco farm closed 30 years ago. There are no commercial tobacco growers in New Zealand. So this isn't even protecting our own farmers/producers. It's 100% offshore interests harming New Zealanders. And our laser focused government? They decided to make it easier for them.

It's interesting that NZ Police can be so proactive and decisive about pursuing charges for digital harm and harassment of a senior male police officer, yet find pressing charges when the victim is a woman almost impossible...
