@jessterraformearth.bsky.social is gonna love this! 😁

Why does Adobe insist on moving the PC desktop shortcut for Acrobat to a different, random location every single time the app is opened...?

When I lived in Hamburg (for 12 years from the 1980s until I emigrated to NZ in 1997), I'd catch the S-Bahn train from this station to work every day. Yesterday, German police found sticks of dynamite on a train at this station. 😬

YAY! 🎈🥳🙌🍾🎉🥂!!!

That NewstalkZB TV ad claiming it gives "all sides of an argument" is comedy gold.

I was wondering why TVNZ is showing a Christmas edition of 'The Repair Shop', until I realised it's midwinter on Sunday 😯.

"We can't let a church offer charity to the poor in our neighborhood, what if we have to look at poor people when there are definitely no poor people here!" Absolute ghouls.

If, like me, you were wondering what that person is singing on the iPhone 17 Pro ads, apparently the lyrics go: "I am certain, I am free I am grounding in my being I am healing, I am whole I am locked into my soul I am constant, I am change..." I thought it was "I am the war was yesterday..." 🤪

Mark Mitchel says there is "nothing stopping FENZ from getting (their) own helicopter"?! Is this guy THAT out of touch?! FENZ appliances BREAK DOWN on a regular basis. There is WEEKLY FIREFIGHTER STRIKE ACTION driven by underfunding & unsafe work conditions?! But, sure, "hAvE a hELicHoPpEr"!

Tamaki is well aware that he can incite violence against religious minorities, due to Labour failing to pass the Human Rights Act amendment in 2023 that would have covered religion under the 'incitement' section out of fear of the anti-woke (literal) mob doing the inciting.

How did the 60 percent of our country's conservation land that our money-grabbing government aims to "offload" become conservation land in the first place? It didn't decide to conserve itself. New Zealanders fought for it to be granted that status, which ought to be maintained in perpetuity. #nzpol

I realise the Americans who've never voted for "TRUMP" are enduring a lot of trauma, but I doubt they're fully cognisant of the deleterious effect their fellow countryfolk's idiocy has had on other one-time democracies.

I'm not sure there's a point to this thing but, assuming there is one, could we please have a version with the English spelling of licence?

Irresponsible idiots.

Good night, sleep well and see you tomorrow!

Believe what they do, rather than what they say - “bits and bobs” is so awfully vague, how can we trust the CoC won’t sell off great swathes? Potaka crying “spurious” rings a big alarm bell that the Greens are right early 🔔✅ #nzpol #onetermgovt www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Tallow-brained numpty.

Final remixes. Almost ready for its 1 July release.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. 'Orlando'.

Shane Jones was about as unconvincing as I'd expected in excusing his taxpayer-funded mining junket expenses. All bluster, ignorance and amnesia.

ICE continues to f**k with everlee wihongi. here is the latest update, direct from her lawyer: "the guards told her that there was going to be no court and that they were rescheduling for tomorrow and friday – a total lie." please, please RT: www.webworm.co/june18/

The great Eddie Kramer, talking to Rick Beato about engineering Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing' at Olympic Studios in Barnes, London. He also talks about Pye Studios, where a mate of mine, Malcolm Davies, was the cutting engineer. I visited Olympic several times in the 1970s and Pye virtually every day

#nzpol This term of government has been about putting all the structures of a contemporary wave of NZ Company extraction in place. If the coalition wins in November, all they need to do is push the button and we’ll have our Whenua sold out from under us and we will be just units of work 😡😡😡

Better make sure you are enrolled to vote Really There is every chance if you don't check you won't be able to vote this coalition out

Just when you thought Luxon's lo couldn't get any worse... Govt to quietly scrap looming ban on coal boilers newsroom.co.nz/2026/06/17/g...

A neighbour has left out for inorganic collection a double mattress, single bed base, washing machine, suitcase, and a bar stool, partly on our unfenced lawn and half on the footpath. Even in a pile, it's larger than 1m³, and it's been raining, so the mattress is damp. I hope he likes his $400 fine.

Abstract toaster reflection.

It seems as though 90 percent of the people who leave comments on Instagram posts think that the correct formulation is "would of" and not "would have". 🙄

They're literally holding a session on how to create a cult: led by Steve Gatena, founder of Pray.com, which uses Palantir's AI tech. These people are very, very creepy.

"It's just about dawn when I finally get home I find my twist with that punk Johnny Rome So I pop the both and I ankle downtown To a hop house in the Tenderloin, need to kick that gong around."

'RACP Māori Health Committee chair Dr Matt Wheeler said describing cultural safety as an 'ideological agenda' misunderstands its role in healthcare.' #NzPol

Police abusing use of AI tools but continue using AI. This unregulated government is dangerous for everyone #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/science...

90% of New Zealanders want limits on bottom trawling. 81% want expanded marine protected areas. Over half back a complete ban in the Hauraki Gulf. WWF/Horizon poll, ±3%. A 73,647-signature petition is on the table. Government has done nothing. #nzpol

"Tens of millions of criminals." 😐😑😶

I do not say this lightly but the Deputy Prime Minister should be removed from Parliament altogether for this repeated pattern in behaviour of berating victims of sexual violence. We should not have a society that continues to allow this behaviour as acceptable #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Erica Stanford reckons there is now a "tsunami of countries" who have banned social media for under-15s. In fact there are five: Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia and now the UK. Others are still in consultation or merely drafting legislation. Hardly a tsunami, by any measure. #nzpol

Watch out for these unethical fuckers. Not only are their products not all they claim them to be, but they will bill you for "active subscriptions" you never agreed to and continue to bill you even when you attempt to cancel.

A lovely interview with the very funny, modest and self-deprecating Justin Currie (Del Amitri). As I've said many, many times before, no one has written and sung about love and loss better than him (an underrated bass player, too).

Is "ideological" the new word for "woke" when a fundy right winger wants to denigrate anyone with expertise and concern for human rights? Simeon Brown is a very dangerous man to have as Minister of Health. People will die #nzpol

Even though no one on here watches them, let alone comments, I'm going to attempt to post an 'Ableton Live view' video of each of the 12 tracks on the next album, just for the hell of it. They'll be on the wordsSHIFTminds YouTube channel.

Did NACT run on this? No. Did they ask experts? No. Did they seek public feedback? No. Did anyone want this? No. This is exactly how you know you are OWNED by your government, NZ, instead of represented by them. …And NACT is owned by rich people wanting these shitty things done. #nzpol

Now that one of NZ's foremost RW political lobbyists, campaign advisor and svengali for RW candidates, with no journalistic background, who doesn't even live here, has been put in charge of the capital's main print newspaper, can we accept that The Post is dead? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

NZ temporarily ended homelessness (during Covid) - but failed to provide all the wraparound services needed Then given the choice between improving a temporary solution, or returning to homelessness, the incoming NZ Govt choose homelessness. Proudly 🫣 #nzpol www.beehive.govt.nz/release/emer...

I liked this coffee so much that I have just ordered some more.

An amusing read to deodorise the stench of corruption and genocide (New Zealand mentioned!).

Luxon: "A wealth tax would put a wrecking Ball right through this economy." No, that was you and your cronies, remember? #nzpol
