Why don’t we have a CEO band income tax bracket? It feels like a universe of difference between earning $180 000 and $500 000+

This is devastating 💔

GOD I miss Hectic Planet. That was a hoot to read and yeah I got into US ska as a result. 1990s in Portland W00t

WHY DO ALL THESE HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE BLOODY INTERNET? Our landlady installed light switches that don't work properly unless you use them in conjunction with an app. I don't want a fucking app for light switches. I just want to switch a light on and off, using a switch.

CANNIBALS.

"Sixty-eight percent supported billionaires being taxed more to fund public goods like healthcare, housing and climate action" SIXTY EIGHT PERCENT👀

Another thing missed by many, an LNG terminal is also a sitting duck target that explodes rather spectacularly #nzpol

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Still to come: The much publicised (and much ignored) vulnerability of aircraft carriers in modern warfare.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored. People's work is not the government's to give away. If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP! /end

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

Unfortunately, the Nats do this every time they're in Govt. Which is why every time a Left Govt gets elected, it's back to square one with state housing. And also why the next Left Govt NEEDS TO SHIFT THE BLOODY OVERTON WINDOW FOR CHRISSAKES.

I ask myself this about 3x a day

She’s not on bsky so I just want to share my sister’s latest art

Meanwhile Chris Bishop and Luxon continue their #WarOnNature www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

A country surrounded by the ocean, with active geothermal zones, buffeted by winds and basking in sunshine should not be relying on tanker loads of oil, gas and coal shipped half way across the world to run its energy network.

I really do struggle to encompass this historical moment.

So, any other news yesterday? Anything important?

At some point centre left politicians surely have to admit that they should be tilting leftwards, not rightward, to win votes

I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.

Greens win w/ 14k votes, Reform 2nd on 10k, Labour 3rd on 9k. Libertarians less popular than the Monster Raving Loonies. UK Labour is fucked, reduced to 3rd party status in its safest seats.

-increase speed limits: kids getting hit by cars -make school lunches cheaper: mouldy slop for kids -cut IT jobs: hospital IT system failing -cancel ferries: no new ferries -ban gang patches: more gang members Results!

We're probably getting pretty close to 700 science jobs lost over this term of government, directly linked to reforms/cuts. And believe me: the country wasn't overflowing with them to start with.

Huanansaurus having a bad hair day. Or a good hair day. These things are so subjective. #SciArt

Misread “Trump’s Ballroom Project” as “Balloon Project” with the photo of the White House attached - & suddenly I was quite excited

Currently looking for work and projects. Give me a shout or a DM if you have a project - ttrpg, card game, etc that's in need of illustration/art/concepts.

Voyager 1 is currently more than 24 billion kilometres from Earth and getting 17km farther every second and hilariously it is not as out of touch with New Zealand as our Prime Minister

No matter how bad your day is, things can always get worse.

Goodbye Night Sky, it was so nice to see you

Wow that franchise took a dark turn

this Lent, let us be reminded that "Japanese" tempura comes from the Latin "ad tempora quadragesima" or "during the time of Lent" when the Jesuits ate deep fried veggies on fast days. The Japanese later adopted this practice and name.

@pearced.bsky.social surely a question for you

Climate change is here. NZ isn’t ready We need to #mitigate #climatechange by going #renewable #electric in homes, businesses & transport, as well as work on resilience. Home/work #solar & an #EV does both! #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/18/c...

I reckon the last time the son of a sovereign was taken into custody in Britain was the Duke of Monmouth in 1685.

*Reposts appreciated” My webstore heycentaur.com is finally up! This took so many months of labour (mostly my partner’s), but it is all ready and running. Physical copies of Kala Mandala are now available, shipping to most of the world.

Heartbreaking: Right now, thousands of Puffins are washing up along our coasts and further afield. It is devastating to see. These birds are Red-listed in the UK and already under serious pressure. Mass deaths like this, known as a “seabird wreck”, can take years for colonies to recover from...

So just to be clear Luxon wants Kiwi families to pay a new tax on their power bills to build an LNG terminal that we don’t need & that will cook the climate, so that Methanex, a company contributing 0 dollars in tax themselves, can keep sending their profits offshore. newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/30/m...
