We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Wtf

Sharon Murdoch on point as usual #NZPol

Peak cuteness surely 😸🇳🇿

Not even 7pm and it's down to 3 degrees already, brrrrr

Hey Hutt folks, you may miss it when voting, but please don’t vote for Suzanne Levy! She sounds fine, but OOPS she runs the TERF organisation Speak Up For Women.

Don’t worry guys he is treating us as a bottomfull ATM it’s all good you see

Massive thunderstorm here that wasn't in the weather forecast. The cats are looking worried

A pussy and a pair of tits

I crocheted Patti Smith’s Horses cover

So cool

"With 84 percent of the votes counted, Te Pāti Māori's Oriini Kaipara had 5286, almost twice as many as Labour's Peeni Henare (2721)." www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

As a not-very-well-known NZ author I did not expect to find myself in there, but I was. If you've published a book, check if you're there, and add yourself to the class action (see the reply to this post for the link)

Once again, better reporting in international press #nzpol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

'Generative AI seems a bit like one of those chimpanzees that rich people would adopt – all fun and games, until it rips your face off.' Great piece from @ladyhorrors.bsky.social

Giving myself a day in bed after an exhausting couple of weeks

Hi Blueskyers The dynamic at my current flat has changed, and I am looking for a self contained studio, sleep out, unit, apartment or tiny house for just me! Anywhere on the Kāpiti train, Otaki, or Central Welly. Yell if you have a tip!!

The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Spot on

So sad to hear that Kelly Ana Morey has died, how can this be so?!

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

This is unforgiveable incompetence: NZ has spent $671m to get no ferries, rather than $551m to get new ferries that would be arriving within months to replace clapped-out ferries. This sort of mismanagement should bring down a government; amazingly, it's not even the worst example of their failings

Mehhhhh this is a very nasty beast of a cold. Poor poor me

Important statement of concerns about the embrace of genAI by universities (mine? definitely! yours?) by Comms and Media scholars in Aotearoa NZ auckland.scoop.co.nz/2025/08/stat...

My evil kitten

Wow what Wordle 1,513 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

How to do quality law-making. Certainly not the sneaky way the Coalition Govt went about the pay-equity business. My #cartoon today #NZpol #PayEquity

Latest stats indicating the worst unemployment numbers since the outbreak of the pandemic are further proof that the Govt’s policies are forcing people further into hardship and poverty.

WILLIS: Well you have to understand the results were better than expected. - By who? WILLIS: Well, most people I imagine, the way the government's been cancelling important projects and directly firing people, you'd think that would be pretty catastrophic. Oh, also Treasury?

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants. RFK Jr cancelling millions in mRNA research makes the world far less safe.

Hobson's Pledge: “We are saddened to see that this billboard has caused personal upset. That was never our intention." Mate, the mere existence of your little Pākehā Grievance Club upsets Māori people all the time. But if it's not PERSONAL, I guess that's okay then?! www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

Me and my baby

I’m know I’m too late for official show but wanted to share some embroidered cat portraits for funsies!

Personally I love it when the government works very hard to keep massive law changes a secret and then retrospectively releases all the information about it at 8.34pm on a Thursday www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I'm on a bus in the Hutt Valley and about 20 tsunami alerts have gone off

It’s voter suppression, plain and simple. Banning enrolment 13 days before the election will hit young Māori the hardest, 48% of 18–19 y/o Māori voters enrolled during that window in 2023. They know what they’re doing. Help us end this tyranny #EnrolToVote #NZPol #OneTermGovt

Beautiful day

In case you were wondering what’s behind these changes, it’s all about making sure the wrong people don’t vote: “Māori, Asian, and Pasifika communities, as well as younger people, are more likely to cast special votes.” www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Cooold morning

I'm sorry, but this is simply not appropriate language at all for a Deputy Prime Minister to describe citizens & permanent residents who are contributive to & participatory in our democracy, who may have, for a whole host of reasons, may need flexibility in how they enrol and vote in our elections.

(Sorry I'm always sayin the same thing, but every news item about this gets it twisted) Ray Chung’s email about Tory Whanau is not some random thing he did. It’s part of a global pattern: women leaders being targeted with false, sexist rumours to undermine their credibility and leadership. #nzpol 🧵

Beautiful wetlands in South Wairarapa

I hate having hiccups. Go away hiccups

Time for my daily meltdown about the hideous treatment of women in public life, especially Māori women. It's almost like they're trying to scare women out of politics huh?Ray Chung what a fkn arsehole

Two stunning winners ✨🥇

Why is RNZ covering the details of Kiri Allan's arrest two years ago?! This relentless hounding of women in public life (esp if brown) is appalling
