I would have happily accepting of a $63K bill for Jones's travel on the proviso that it was one way.

InternetNZ: the Free Speech Union and Hobson’s Pledge are once again attempting to take over. They will be running candidates in the election and bringing motions forward to remove Māori representation from InternetNZ's constitution. Join or renew to vote - AGM August. #nzpol

kinda peeved that Cissia seems to be part of the core crew this patch. she's so annoying, and not in a charming way like Billy is annoying

much like santa and meritocracy, these are stories we are told when we are little that we eventually grow out of

i do. everyone grows up eventually.

Hey RNZ when you have finished chasing every conceivable edge case for this very cheap proposal, could spare some time to look at the massive $50+billion vast hole that is the govt’s transport policy?

metservice says it's a high of 12°c today, unfortunately that's at midnight tonight not mid day which is forecast at 10°c.

The three genders (nonbuynary)

Perfect timing for a test of the phone emergency alert system, during a screening of Backrooms. Everyone in the theatre's phones went off and we got the surround sound tension tone at a perfect moment during the film, just as things started to get weird

driving home after my sunday wargame and remembering that I have tomorrow off and the weekend is not in fact practically over is a truly magical feeling

this absolutely hits. incisive description of the (primary, in my opinion) downside of reliance on AI

I thought I was going to skip Velina since I didn't really like her design, but that skin solves that problem. I don't have pity, but now I'm at least willing to roll and let chance have its way

read the comments on the spinoff article about the start of labour's campaign. it's easy to forget there are people that actually like the new zealand labour party rather than simply tolerating it as a legacy institution that compromised its values decades and decades ago.

@byroncclark.bsky.social no one wants to hold a pride event when it's six degrees celsius and the sun is setting at 5pm, and that's very sensible If an NZ conservative is mad about Pride right now it's because their social media is full of American rage bait

In a demonstration of how much the culture wars have been imported, the Conservative Party have put out a press release about how "the month of June will be given back to the taxpayer" Nowhere in Aotearoa has Pride month in June Crossposted with @openvibe.social

If you have the spare cash to help out my friend Petr pay for top surgery, that'd be great. Its suddenly been scheduled a year earlier than he was told to expect, which is a great problem to have, but is still very much a problem. www.gofundme.com/f/help-petr-...

damn. narrative got hands.

YOU GUYS THIS LOOKS SO GOOD

Which would you rather have for $65 m - a year of public transport cap of $20 a week, or 588 meters of motorway?

To rely on AI is to subject oneself to a lifelong humiliation ritual. You must be willing to become a dogshit merchant that accepts, sells and defends dogshit.

who at microsoft decided that the 'send to log analytics' action in logic apps wouldn't get an equivalent for the new log ingestion api? I just wanna talk

hoyo. hoyo. there is no amount of primos you are willing to bribe me with that will make me play miliastral wonderland please stop

shinryu defense should just tell you when you hit 1.0x if the boss has enough HP left for you to get S or not

Just got reminded to book my flu shot and covid booster so I've done that and I'm passing on the message. Get amongst it.

oh, pokopia is very charming isn't it.

I had disregarded getting a Switch 2 since Pokopia by itself wasn't enough of a draw. But Pokopia, a Fire Emblem, a Hyrule Warriors game that escaped my notice, and next gen of mainline pokemon games? Sure, I'll bite...but only because I can pay for half of it using rewards points not cash 😅

I love being a super casual gamer, what do you mean people are angry about the direct? Did you not see games?

like... my body doesn't make the right hormones, so I take medications to fix that. and also I'm trans and on estrogen. What, you thought I meant that before? no, I'm diabetic.

Did real well off a single spark. Actually got both Aris and Kei from hard rolls, so I spent the spark on Shiroko Terror to push her to UE60. This is only the new units I got, in total I was well above the 6% drop rate.

rolling on double rate banners is always so satisfying

my (LARP safe!) stick. there are many like it, but this one is mine.

“listen to your body” and “make enough money to live” are conflicting imperatives under the T&C of the current OS afaik

well this is a stupid waste of time that is going to create way more rework than anyone stopped to consider www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/...

I caught up with a friend that I hadn't seen in a number of years today and he remarked that he is continually astounded by how I never seem to age 😆
