Do you think there's a corporate cyberserveilance company out there doing "your employees' computer usage wrapped 2025"?

The Orville’s landing sequence on Krill feels like a dunk on Star Trek. Like, why don’t we get any sequences with Pike flying through a Vulcan/Klingon/Bajoran/Ferengi city? 🥲

After Pinocchio and Frankenstein, i can only assume Guillermo del Toro is going to put Humpty Dumpty back together again

The Orville really just becomes an excellent Star Trek show in season 2 huh?

Were people in glam rock the original performative males?

My conspiracy theory is that NZ Herald grew Ryan Bridge in a lab out of a condensed slush of all the rage bait content available online

I think when we all eventually go to hell, it’s just going to be like a parisian airport

Me visiting countries that have legalised

Me, heading to hang with a friend while he works at a bar: “omg I’m going to be way behind on drinks, he’s been there all night”

I’m so glad Instagram put the “ad break” feature in. It’s a great reminder to close the app and try further remove myself from Meta products.

People who recently came back to Overwatch trying to point out who in their team is the reason they lost

if a best practice document exists in the woods and no one is around to read it, does it even make a sound?

Me writing a proposal to make a new service at work

Can’t even go to a book club these days without being asked to check out someone’s AI project 😭

If dystopian novels aren’t too much for you right now and you haven’t read Kallocain, I’d 💯 recommend it. I feel like this book doesn’t get the attention it deserves in the anglo-sphere

Moving house today! Excited for the new place but I’ll miss seeing this from the window

Before your mains p house

Jordan peterson voice: “you know, no one’s buying truck nuts anymore. It behooves us to consider what this disturbing trend means for society”

I really forgot how much NZ lads love a gender affirming ute

One more reason to boycott McDonald’s i guess

I’ll very soon be spending a month back in NZ, cannot wait to be in the warmth and catch up with people 😭

This hekn troll won’t let me access the bridge, not even read it 😭

Breast cancer awareness ad from a local taco company.. have I thought tacos were a euphemism for the wrong anatomical area this whole time?

Teletubbies and Blues Clues did a good job training the post-2020 white collar workforce to wave at the screen after every meeting

I didn't think I came in that early on the bluesky train :D I guess that's how I got closer to "kirk" as a username than ever before

you see how I wrote this component? you see how I didn't put "useEffect" everywhere? very demure, very mindful, not going to ruin someone's day with a React upgrade

I put on Our Flag Means Death season 2 for a laugh.. why am i crying tho??? 😭

Can anyone explain why the lens blur in House of Dragons makes me feel a lil ill?

Eurovision disqualifying the only staunchly pro-EU song for a minor slight against Israel feels like the most garbage move imaginable

Loved Seeing the theofascist in Monkey Man repping an NZ designed Blunt umbrella in Monkey Man 😂

considering making a tech talk about how user without intricate knowledge of your database, and the frontend engineers who try represent them are not (necessarily) stupid

Kinda delighted to see that the ridiculously named NZ payment platform, Windcave, has spread here to Sweden

I wrote a doc I needed others at work to review.. There's currently 6 people in the doc and I'm terrified 🙃

I think i just got advertised the worst clothing brand. The maga style phrase, the straight sob story, the little disclaimer hidden right at the bottom of the page? 🤢 ickyyyy

Rio Morales’ speech to Miles is so beautiful and sweet 😭

Periodic reminder that “doomerism” or belief that these events are “Inevitable” is a propaganda point by the same people who brought you the catastrophe in the first place. They are highly motivated for us to fall into despair & not take collective action against systemic forces.

Only after @me.vivianchandra.com reached out on Threads did I realise just how many old Twitter friends are on here 🙃

My roman empire is thinking about how working class new zealanders thought the millionaire ceo singing “I got bills” is genuinely interested in their wellbeing
