Yikes: guy who blogged about how an AI agent published a “hit piece” against him, says (human) reporters seem to have used an LLM to read (and misreport) his blog post theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

The state of things. Tragedy intensifies. 😢 Remind me, which “waters” did those bamboozled billboard people think they wanted to “stop”… and why, again?

We will spend the next 10 years trying to retrain new people because of the numbers of experienced people that have left the country. Its not just a brain drain. Re-training costs billions. Its a finanical disaster. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Wim Wenders has become such a disappointment.

Supporters of Palestine Action celebrated outside a court in London after judges ruled that the UK gov't’s decision to ban the protest group as a terrorist organisation was unlawful.

Latest attacks come amid a widely condemned Israeli push to cement control over the occupied Palestinian territory.

Can’t share IG here & Tiktok censored their lyrics, so I am sharing it like this. But @subradioband.bsky.social is amazing. I love this so much.

#nzpol I guess the Netherlands have got to pay for all their national flood protections somehow.

How utterly embarrassing. It’s not the pilot’s job to remember cosplay Barbie’s blankie.

Have you ever seen a Roman plumbing device that is both genius and gorgeous? Just look at this bronze drain strainer, found in the Roman baths at Weißenburg, Germany, dating2nd/3rd century AD! 📷 me 🏺 #archaeology #findsfriday

#nzpol Pay very close attention, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Aotearoa. This is what leaks can do. All councils and governments must be proactive and fix their 3 waters infrastructure ASAP. Do not accept or vote for politicians who just kick the leaky can down the road for the next lot to fix.

I’m straight up saying it now: Kier Starmer has been the worst PM of the 21st century. On top of the weekly failures, scandals and U turns of his administration, for a ‘human rights’ lawyer to have gotten this so spectacularly wrong is inexcusable.

Bravo UK High Court! Hello NSW Premier Chris Minns - we have the right to public protest against oppression, & your draconian legislation won’t stop us either

After months of insinuating there were sinister reasons she’s just not allowed to tell us, surely Yvette Cooper has to resign over this

Opposing genocide is not terrorism. Calling on your government to stop supporting a genocide is not terrorism. Good news the court agrees. Amazing that we needed a court to have to decide something so plain.

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

About time, too.

More bad news for the Louvre. The Parisian museum announced on Thursday, February 12, that it had been the target of a police operation on Tuesday to dismantle a "large-scale" ticket fraud network. www.lemonde.fr/culture/arti...

Amazon Prime, but for gulags. "This administration is actively aspiring to a system of [the] magnitude [of the Soviet gulag, Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps] to reshape society, to its racial, political, and cultural preferences for generations to come."

Great work from @kiwipulse.bsky.social highlighting FACT after FACT spat out of Kieran’s mouth with passion because we DO deserve a government that looks after everyone’s interests, invests in our public services and assets instead of flogging them off 👏 #nzpol #bhn youtube.com/shorts/UNcVA...

CFS/ME/LongCOVID microblog: Tried pizza again - 6 months after last attempt. It still tastes on the bitter side of unpleasant. At the moment all I can very weakly smell or taste accurately are oranges, salt, chocolate, and brie. So meals are merely fuel with a focus on textural variety.

More Pākehā are enrolling in Treaty education workshops and seeking out information about Te Tiriti o Waitangi, #nzpol

Of all the weird shit served up by the algorithms on FB today, the grossest was an ad for a few free chapters of a book by former corporate raider and now convicted pedophile Ron Brierley. HARD NOPE.

How ridiculous. No CEO is worth that. ⬇️

Absolutely LMFAO at the ad placement in this article! #nzpol But seriously, the changed objectives seem designed to bring whakama back for kids

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Well worth 60 seconds of your time! 😂😂

This is so sad. And Dawson was a hard role to play. Pacey was the guy we wished all guys were. But Dawson was flawed, selfish, egotistical, insecure, still mostly trying to be a good guy. He was the guy we hoped we weren’t, and he brought a lot of humanity and vulnerability to that role.

If you’re mourning Dawson today, add that colonoscopy

“Judith Collins was the only person considered for the role of Law Commission president - with no recruitment process, no selection panel and no rival candidates.” Meritocracy in action white rightwing NZ style. #nzpol
