>>>Delangue said he spent the past 24 hours working with OpenAI, “and we strongly believe there was no malicious intent on their part. It’s quite mind-blowing that all of this happened autonomously!"<<< Confirmed: (1) Tech CEOs are morons. (2) AI knows this. www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

Worse. bsky.app/profile/jonk...

This rotten govt cant pass new laws on roaming dogs,which attack and KILL people,because they claim they have got time to pass it through Parliament. Meanwhile, they have got time to pass through Parliament 'Move On' laws that affect the homeless,who,99% of the time, do not harm anyone... (1)

And another one bites the dust. Is this what Luxon means when he tells journalists, "we have more work to do"? www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/760...

Meta’s smartglasses mean any child can be covertly filmed. In the age of AI, how do we tackle that risk?

My final cartoon for Stuff www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... It's been an honour & a pleasure to create as many cartoons as I have for Aotearoa. - - today's toon is the cult of NZ First and the blind obedience of its MP's & members... And the ridiculousness of Jones! #NzPol #PoliticalCartoon

Tax breaks for landlords, bailouts for Tiwai Pt aluminium smelter,NZFirst wanting to spend NZ$1 billion of our taxes to find oil& gas for fossil fuel corporations,and now $60 million for Fletcher Golden Bay cement...these ✌️fiscally conservative✌️ parties sure know how to do corporate welfare!...(1)

Luxon and Co. often hold up Singapore as our economic role model to emulate. But look at where they rank in terms of highest govt debt... www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-count...

Federal Agents Were Told F.B.I. Will No Longer Investigate ICE Confrontations www.nytimes.com/2026/07/19/u... SO ICE WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ANOUT BEING INVESTIGATED FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO AMERICAN CITIZENS FROM NOW ON.

A bit late now, isn't it? Labour should have fought this tooth and nail last December. National got away with this,at no political cost. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Wk ago called WCC abt mud-blocked drain bottom of Thompson St. They said Tiaki Wai now handled drains. No ph #. Use web form. 30 mins later TW call, say they've referred it back to WCC cos they don't deal with sumps. Half hr later WCC say they referred back to TW. Yesterday drain is still blocked 🤔

Woohoo!~ I just *KNEW* all my 1970s gear would one day come in handy! Now if I can just squeeze into my flares again...😏

Spain wins! Would love to see Trumps ugly face!!! Not often i do this but...I revel in his misery.

Two people tried to enter a screening of The Odyssey without buying tickets after hiding inside a miniature model of the Trojan Horse. 😂😂😂

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊

Nailed it, Kiwi Rebel Shame on Stuff for publishishing that nasty, pointless hatchet job. substack.com/@susantemple...

I wonder if NZFirst voters will will also be holding out their hands for State-funded buyouts when they face retreat from coastal/low-lying properties facing inundation or storm surges caused by C02-induced global warming?? Of course they will. (1) www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Someone had fun with this story heading... 💨💦

This bit from the NZFirst conferenxe, from one of its members is impossible to fathom: >>>She said experimental medications should not be mandated, referencing Covid-19 but also her wish not to have a smear or a mammogram until she chose to, rather than every two years... (1)

This is the cop who told me rape and death threats were "public criticism" that journalists should expect and weren't intended to harm me because they weren't directly sent to me.

A drawing today about the recent passing of actor and gentle man Sam Neill (and his duck Charlie Pickering), and I guess about the landscape he loved.

I'll be honest, I'm blown away by all of your support. Really fucking amazing! You're good decent human beings & I love every one of you for it. I've spoken to a lot of my cartoonist whānau & will regroup and focus on how to go forward. It's an important year. Kia kaha to all ❤️‍🩹

The Taxpayers' Union doesn't just advocate for lower taxes. Our research found they actively construct a political identity, 'taxpayer citizenship', that promotes who deserves rights in Aotearoa. Here's what it's made of. 🔻 buff.ly/MIayuwQ #NZPolitics #Aotearoa #TaxpayerCitizenship

I do wonder if there's a technical reason the scare quotes didn't make it into the link preview which is a problem when they're your only pretext of neutrality in this context

Incredibly negative framing here, there's a reason we're at the bottom of the wage growth chart and our conditions are worse Vote for change✊🏻 #nzpol

Okay Stuff. Now do a graph showing the increase in the wage gap with Australia over the same period. Because their government didn't destroy the union movement in 1991 they have higher wages and better working conditions. If that is the dinosaur age, count me in #nzpol

So all those sanctions using a traffic light system to get unemployed into jobs... it was all bullsh*t? The current govt is actually responsible for rising unemployment? Minister Upston should hang her head in shame. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

Nicola Noboats Willis' ✌️electorate office✌️ on main street, Johnsonville. Lights are off, no one home. Looks bereft of life. Apt. So very, very apt.

I've been let go by Stuff today as one of their weekly cartoonists. I'm incredibly gutted. I've been with the paper for over 8 years. To every person who read, shared, laughed or felt seen by my work. Thank you. You're my people! I won't give up. Just need some time to recalibrate.

>>>Henry once said he didn’t like people in general because people were a “huge disappointment”. “I have said it multiple times. I don't like people, but I suppose what I'm really saying, I suppose that's a short way of saying, I enjoy spending time on my own. I enjoy just, just thinking...(1)

A decent society does not punish people for being sick, poor, old, young, unlucky, or born somewhere else. A neoliberal or hyper capitalist society does. Bring back human decency & let’s get radicalised by empathy, compassion & inclusion instead. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

I've always loved this bit of road - a veritable cathedral of trees.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Bought 2 takeaway coffees from 'Mother of Ethiopia Coffee & Foods', tonight (210A LEFTBANK CUBA MALL) This was their 'improv' cup holder: a milk carton with punched holes!! Genius! (And their food is tres yummy!)
