All I want is for the gallery and commentariat to grill Luxon and Hipkins about this dogshit with HALF the energy they give any time the Greens announce a reasonable, costed, popular policy

buying a new computer only so i can delete copilot off of it

Remember the 38yo unexpectedly pregnant woman who had to deal with a terrorist massacre, a volcanic eruption and a global pandemic while raising a baby? Did anyone cut her one tenth of the slack this POS is getting?

I mean, we all know he can't talk, but his other issue is that he's a spineless suckup fundy weirdo, Henry #nzpol

File "Women are better at multitasking" and "Women are just naturally better at home management/child rearing/making doctors appointments" together under convenient beliefs that allow men to delegate basic life admin tasks to women in their lives

One thing that everyone "knows" and is completely untrue is that women are better at multitasking. There have been multiple studies, some finding women are slightly better, some finding men are slightly better, but the one really consistent result is that everyone is very bad at multitasking.

what i would say to you is, i am not aware of what turns on Christopher Luxon, and i am committed to keeping it that way. #nzpol

Gals is it too spicy to point out that the major parties insisting Nothing Can Be Done So Why Bother is effectively voter suppression, and it's particularly dangerous because the far right *don't care and will still turn out for hate and bigotry* while the left are bullied to be more moderate?

why does everyone know so much about the pope

People don't want to hear this but too much baby talk can hinder your cat's language development

People in books are always nobly turning down offers of huge sums of money from their wealthy suitors. I simply wouldn’t

Everybody loves it when I put double-sided tape on my hands and feet and skitter about on the ceiling like a lizard

I have to pack my whole house and so far mostly against my will I have been doing so using the "pinball method". Bouncing around the house at varying speeds, picking up items in whatever location I hit, depositing them into one of three open boxes, occasionally dropping off the map (doomscrolling)

Feeling more and more true by the day. Also, season 5 of Fargo was cooking something fierce with this.

It's a beautiful day to cancel Spotify and move to Qobuz, or Apple, or Tidal.

Where "delete your account" is valid and legit. #nzpol Love your work @marcdaalder.bsky.social newsroom.co.nz/2026/01/14/p...

I appreciate people exploring womens perspectives on things but sometimes it feels..... Like idk I'm seeing a bunch of articles and discussions about why women like Heated Rivalry and I have never once seen anything close to an equal discussion on why men like lesbian content

@edzitron.com Another excellent article from the Times, “the only problem with AI is there might not be enough money in the world to make it good”

Quite a few comments from people saying they'd like to write more. Since Renee Good's death, I've been thinking about all the people out there who are good writers. It's a bit like singing, in that I think many people have a basically good voice. It's weird to think about how talented people are

Joe Rogan calling ICE the gestapo is probably a sign of what other morons are starting to figure out. It only took a guy shooting a woman in the face on video and calling her a fucking bitch

People hate women so much they read a story about women being cattoonishly evil in an elaborate story with many highly improbable (and falsifiable!) details that literally ends with "and then everyone clapped" and didn't even blink twice before fully believing it

The curiosity was killing me. The guy said he found the ad on Instagram and that, as of today, the post is still up. So I spent an hour or so on a spreadsheet of every single bar, pub, or club I could find in Salt Lake City, almost 100. None of them posted it docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I wouldn't spend any amount of time on this at all if it was Just a fake story. Fake stories go viral all the time (UberEats, Jamaican Masterpiece), whatev. But this one was also leading people to specific conclusions about what women in fandom are like, based on something that didn't happen

That affects people's mental models about women, y'know? It gets referenced in future talks. "Remember that guy who got kicked out" becomes shorthand that speaks to how real groups of people are thought of. Also it comes from a guy who calls men men but women feeeeeemales. That speaks to motivation

He refers to women as "females." He constructed a viral story designed to make women look bad, and when a queer woman questioned it he endorsed calling her a bitch. I think this man doesn't like women, and made up a story about them, and is now enjoying watching one get called a bitch for noticing.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.

I'm not posting every single of the day because quite frankly no one wants that but I was just completely struck by how today's one, Song For Cleomenes, about a brutish and corrupt leader who died pre BCE, is so... Familiar. Gaius Verres lived and died and lives again

How embarrassing for us. How terrifying for women and girls. ##nzpol

"It shouldn't be difficult to act swiftly and without hesitation when the question posed is "Is it OK to work with the child sexual abuse material factory?" But the bar is assuredly in that hole."

the "For You" feed is much, much, much, much better than "Discover" here's a link to it bsky.app/profile/did:...

The Mercator map has so much to answer for

maybe heading towards some of those weeks where decades happen

This is genuinely a good idea. We should do this. There should be a maximum wage, the same way there’s a minimum wage. The multimillionaires and billionaires will not perceive any appreciable difference in their lifestyle at all, but millions of normal people would benefit daily.

👍👍👍

The absolute best thing on the internet right now is the comment sections under the Song Of The Day from @themountaingoats.bsky.social book of songs. A thriving worldwide book club coming together to chat each day about their read-along so far

Whoever invented the glass stovetop. That was the devil

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

Honestly... still fuck spotify. People I urge you, look into bandcamp and platforms that allow you to buy your music directly from the artist, that way you are actually supporting them.

It's important to me that you all know there is a new episode of the Most Upsetting Guessing Game

So excited to be there and be reunited with my ebike

Wow! This is probably the closest we are ever going to get to finding something equivalent to Excalibur!

i miss when this guy was the only LLM

You basically have a moral imperative to buy physical media or pirate it.
