Every so often I'll look up and there's this huge crazy rock just like, hovering in the sky. Freaks me right out.

Every school should have solar panels installed. Every classroom should have a circulating HEPA filter installed.

Two things I like: when small animals or babies walk on me, and listening to people vocalising drumming patterns.

Anyway as a former teacher and a librarian and a parent of a kid with the learning disability, no amount of tinkering with junior readers is going to fix the literacy problem. PAY TEACHERS. INVEST IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. INVEST IN PRENATAL AND POSTNATAL CARE.

I say that I'm shaking my head far more often online than I express disapproval by shaking my head out here in meatspace. Maybe if I get water in my ear?

The King in YeLLMow, is that anything?

I must have done something wrong on my YouTube to get this nonsense foisted on me. #nzpol youtu.be/IBBrOMWZUPI

I hope Luxon doesn't pronounce "nuclear" like that in front of other world leaders.

I will never apologize for a post

there are many types of Guys to be, but - and this is important - some of them are Bad www.qwantz.com/index.php?co...

Hey if you're the trans person I upset saying how tall you are I'm really sorry - definitely wasn't trying to ruin anyone's day.

Five years ago today New Zealand entered Level 4 lockdown. We stayed there until April, then Level 3 until May, then at Level 2 until June. There was no vaccine, we collectively stamped out a virus that could have killed thousands - as it did overseas. This should be celebrated as a collective win.

Exactly this

A reminder that Finland largely "solved" homelessness by just providing housing and basic welfare. Turns out it worked out cheaper than throwing people on the street and then having to put more funding into healthcare, policing, social services, etc.

I can’t stop staring at this tweet. It’s like the Mona Lisa.

Oh my god that man is incapable of just saying "yes" or "no". #nzpol

Aww man I spilt Worcestershire sauce in my new car

I'm going to say it again: Immigration is good, actually. There are no qualifications on this statement other than "don't be a comemierda" and that goes no matter what. "Legal" and "illegal" are artificial categories imposed by States with arbitrary rules, usually with suboptimal outcomes.

NVIDIA will collapse because of DeepSeek R1? Jevons Paradox says no. Intuitively it sounds like if you made a process 20X more efficient, then you need 20X fewer resources, but ... The rest of tech will use the new techniques themselves and the effect will be compounding? NVIDIA will be fine.

Reading up on Zig for the first time. About half way through initial language docs page. I'm fascinated by the implications of going totally bitwise in the arithmetic and types. That's a bold step. It feels like C's bitfields but done... right?

Whangārei has a goose, which is somehow making absurd all-caps posts on Facebook, and people are unable to stop themselves taking it extremely seriously.

Argh where can I post about bsky outage?

Māoritanga and samba in Kotahitanga. I LOVE TO SEE IT. Toitū Te Tiriti ❤️🤍🖤❤️🤍🖤

Man, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke is a badass.

I'm not sure that listening to End Times from the Outer Wilds soundtrack on repeat is actually helping me focus on work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPya...

Vapidly bad-mouthing federal disaster response based on nothing but vibes is in fact exactly what right wing extremists want us to be doing, and you’re a fucking idiot if you fall for it.

David Seymour would have you believe that Ardern's govt massively overreacted to covid, causing untold economic harm. Listen to this testimony about December 2020 in the UK and think back to NZ's lockdown free, covid free, Christmas and summer. We were so lucky. Seymour is a lying ghoul.

Whee! Thanks @heathergaye.nz.

I know we don’t have the worst government in the world but *wipes away a patriotic tear* Perhaps we do have the worst government in the world _per capita_

Reminder-- The terrorist came to New Zealand to obtain guns and carryout an act that couldn't be done in his home country because the guns were banned... Basically, weak guns laws welcomed him here... Now former lobbyist works to weaken them again www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350...

Remember when Aotearoa had no Covid while the rest of the world did? And things were actually fine apart from some moaners. Man, good times.

Dear white people, Y'all can vote for as many rightwing parties as you like, it won't stop immigration or whatever nonsense y'all think it will do. If you don't want desperate people coming to your country, maybe you shouldn't have based your standard of living on destroying their homes and people.

If you're a homeowner, your tax cut is going on the increased rates because of the cancellation of three waters, and the infrastructure crisis affecting the whole country. If you're a renter, your tax cut is going on the increased rents because your landlord just got a tax cut but wants more money.

Wish my eyes were as good at seeing the aurora as my phone is!

this rancid Bluebottle, this walking rubber johnny, this posturing nimrod, this unsolicited massage, this embodiment of the concept of presumption, this lecturing single-use plastic, this Randian grommet, this twerking numpty, this alternate Fotherington-Thomas, this single-digit flapper valve, this

Trent Reznor? No, too stupid a fad. I put soot on Ron Zertnert.

Going to see Dune pt 2 primarily for the throat singing

Tradwife: honey I made you dinner Radwife: honey I need to do a sick kickflip out of an airplane today Chadwife: honey I can kill a man with my my glutes brah Ladwife: honey you owe me a fucking cig mate Dadwife: honey why did you ask me to put the dog out, he's not on fire

This should help y’all out.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the creepier the horror, the cuter the horror author.

Every time I hear someone say "pizza party" I laugh. I've been to parties where pizza was the primary food on offer, but they weren't "pizza parties". It sounds like you're having the party to eat pizza.
