Excellent from my law colleague up at Auckland. Legal AI is truth agnostic, often wrong, and time saved is often illusory. newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/07/l...

i think a lot about this, cuz like.. if they were really boats filled with drugs, then why not seize them? That's what the coast guard is supposedly for. the answer is: they know its murder. they are killing for the meme of it. for the likes on twitter. i know it's insane but thats life now.

Every fucking week this shit crosses my damn phone and we still don't have a valid explanation on why are we dropping shot on fishing boats?

In 09, people were literally hijacking commercial vessels and we took them alive. What the fuck are we really doing here?

These are so routine now that I sometimes miss them. We murdered three more people in the Caribbean.

At every turn, the Government has opted for whatever would actually lead to more pollution and a warmer world – even if it costs more, jeopardises NZ’s reputation, overturns a campaign promise or clashes with the Government’s other priorities. The long retreat: newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/07/g...

Cartoonists are very,very observant:

Remember that people do abuse these tags to keep you from seeing content they don't like. You may think you don't want to see threats but conservatives flag anything hostile toward their Great Leader as threats, for example. Keep that in mind as you pick your filters.

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

Next select Settings, and then Moderation on the next screen. At the bottom of the Moderation page under "Advanced" is a section called "Bluesky Moderation Service" that looks like an info box. It in fact leads to more settings.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Jail them then.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Wish I could be in Texas, pointing and laughing as the world's greatest collection of clowns, rubes, and hamsters (the Tesla shareholders base) gathers to commit corporate suicide in the name of fraud, fascism, and one of the biggest racists alive. Shout out #TeslaTakedown for keeping up the fight!

oh THAT's why the vibe in Thorndon is so rancid right now thespinoff.co.nz/politics/06-...

Isn’t he still mayor for like two more months?

On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Johnson has not sworn in Grijalva.

FWIW, this is the kind of shit they'd do for dementia patients.

Don't get me started on how predators appear to have a thermal vision band of only about 10 degrees (based on them detecting mammals almost exclusively) and how weird that is considering how unique the thermal conditions supporting that are to Earth. I will start drawing graphs.

Pains me to say it but I think this is true. Some of my colleagues in the media who’ve stayed on X don’t even realize how badly its noxious algorithm is skewing their perception of politics and reality. Also, that place seems designed to make you miserable unless you’re a Nazi. It’s just wretched.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

So good:

I hope everyone on Mamdani’s campaign team gets this printed on commemorative t-shirts

Corporate dems : You mean to tell me honest retail politics and genuine empathy for people connects with voters? Analysts : yes Corporate dems : first of all ew

Buncha supposed politics experts are going to spend the next week looking at a young charismatic candidate with an optimistic message like it’s some cryptic formula for cold fusion

Okay now nz labour stop looking at uk labour and look at Mamdani instead of

Every single one of these videos has been brilliant in a different way

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

If you’re wondering why I’m back after several quiet weeks on a compulsive reply and reshare tear in the middle of the NZ afternoon, it’s because my work-life balance for November looks approximately like this

[me, yesterday, watching the Arabic Zohran ad] dick cheney would die if he saw this

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Remember when this government got really mad about public musings on its growing resemblance to “a death cult that hates children”? One tries to resist hyperbole, but every day it gets harder to quibble with that take. *not just death: disability, denialism, dismantling democracy—what else? #nzpol

Please check all that apply

Something to be said about the dismal relationship with art on display; "this image used to be a part of my identity but its market value has declined so it no longer means anything to me"

This government consistently acts in a manner suggesting it KNOWS what it is doing is either the wrong thing to do or wildly unpopular, which is why it schedules press releases in the hope that their latest travesty will fly under the radar. The sad thing is that it largely works. #nzpol

It's going to be difficult to explain NFT's in general and Apes in particular to kids who didn't live through it. It was the most obvious tulip bulb-ass speculative product of my lifetime. And as many have pointed out, you could at least plant a tulip bulb and expect pretty flowers.

I honestly don’t believe we’ll ever manage anything as fantastically stupid as the bored ape thing again in my lifetime, and I fear I didn’t recognize its golden era when I was in it…

This is a genre that has achieved some unbelievable heights but I really think this might be the apex

Imagine identifying as the world's ugliest picrew randomizer.

"My kids know me as this ape"

someone on reddit found the facebook group richard bunce is a part of and they're just nazis. and the reporter who did this story failed to mention that because i guess research is hard.

this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

Chuck’s gotta go, man, this is coward shit even Jeffries got this right eventually
