I really wish people aspiring to write understood what a competitive advantage being able to write without AI will be in the coming years.

In spite of an overwhelming number of public submissions opposing this bill National MPs Catherine Wedd, Grant McCallum, Ryan Hamilton and David MacLeod plus ACT MP Cameron Luxton have recommended it be passed by parliament. This is not democracy. Vote them out

Overheard at Mitre10 yesterday two young girls with their dad going back and forth in front of the potted plants: "Dad, it would be so much easier if Mum was here to tell us what she'd like!" (I'm sure repeated all over the motu yesterday). Happy

This is a total disaster for the country and it is not an accident - it is policy. We have knowingly created a 'buffer stock' of unemployed people desperate for work because ghouls think that this is the best way to stop wages/prices going up. Who suffers? The young and the marginalised. Disgusting.

My uncle did YDNA. His haplogroup R-Z17991 is Bronze Age timeframe, and his closest actual match is an ancient man from Birkrigg Cumbria. (publication Patterson et al 2022). Tom Booth UCL (
@boothicus.bsky.social

I'm finding this very hard to google! An ancestor was baptised in 1749 in St Dunstan's Stepney parish and her father is said to be a mariner "of Rate", which must be a place name. There are others on that page also from Rate. Anyone know where that is in London??

NZ Govt has taken a huge bet on fossil fuels. NZ was already spending $8 billion a year importing fossil fuels, and now the global fuel crisis is going to make that worse. Betting on fossil fuels has turned out to be a losing bet for NZ. This is the 14 point policy record of 2 years of the NZ Govt:

A bridge washout has closed State Highway 2 Remutaka Hill Rd. The closure is likely to stay in place overnight. Plan your journey accordingly. (!!!) Detour route will add approximately three and a half hours to your journey time.

Had some Hellers mince for tea and it was incredibly unpopular with the family (sadly threw most away) Just looked at the label to discover it was only “made in New Zealand” from NZ and/or Australian beef. 480g pack but after browning and draining weighed only 243g. Won’t be buying again

So do I because the underlying message is “it’s your fault, you’re not trying hard enough to reduce costs, be self reliant” so it’s not the failed electricity model, the price gouging supermarkets and greedflation - it’s you not growing crops, weaving your own clothes and chopping wood. Ffs.

Stripping funding from a Catholic charity that houses migrant kids because the Pope called out your warmongering isn’t "America First." It’s a sociopathic vendetta against the most vulnerable.

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

This is not just a number. This is one million people who have had to leave their homes and often their beloved pets. They’ve had to leave behind Christmas cards their toddlers made, framed family photos, food, clothing, their father’s stamp collection, safety, and their memories.
