Hey, NZ left parties (okay, the Greens), here is a blueprint for the future, just waiting for the political will to make it a reality. #nzpol globaljusticeproject.wid.world

Was disappointed recently. I was asked to review a book only to realize that is was AI generated. I want to support writers. Especially new writers. There writing may not be the best, but they'll get better. So I try to reserve judgement and be constructive. Not much point be constructive to AI 😐

I wish that my life could revolve around RPGs. A life of the imagination! What could be better than that?

Why do so many NZ prime ministers look like potatoes? #nzpol

Revisiting literary classics...updated, of course

Gustav Klimt was 17 years old in 1879 when he drew (with charcoal and black chalk) this portrait of a young girl. His superb technical ability as a draughtsman is evident even as a teenager in the way he uses shadow to create a three-dimensional picture on paper.

Yeah, if they take away my brain meds, I’m sorry guys, but you’ve read your last T. Kingfisher novel. I will be too busy weeping uncontrollably in bed.

I once went to a talk given by Richard Dawkins. Maybe he was tired, jet lagged, but he gave off the impression that he was going through the motions, that it was a burden to give his time to a bunch of people who loved his book or were his fans. I've never really been able to shake that impression.

pet peeve: calling the US president the "leader of the free world". It's always been arrogant bullshit.

Inspired by Castle Rat. #doodle #sketch #ink #castlerat

This is uncomfortable. The whole "it was staged" narrative is uncomfortably similar to what you hear on the Right when some tragedy plays out. I'm not saying it wasn't or that it doesn't look dodgy... I just don't want to be caught in an echo chamber.

FUCK!

59% chance that Spurs get relegated. Crazy! #epl

Kind of crazy how Iran's Meme Division is winning the battle for Heart and Minds ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The EFF warns that Google's developer verification creates "a pathway to censorship." Developers in restrictive countries, anonymous open-source contributors, and privacy tool maintainers are among those most affected. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social

Does anyone know of anything happening in Rotorua this month? #aonz #rotorua

Probably a generational thing, but I can't understand what some people on bsky are saying. I know most of the words, but the order makes no sense to me.

WOW. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social wrote a PHENOMENAL essay that should be REQUIRED reading for -well, everyone- but particularly all those who find themselves BAFFLED by the fact that NOBODY seemed to know what powerful men were up to till the stories broke wide. harpers.org:2096/archive/2018... 1/3

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast.

Is there a way to NOT see threads in the window? I just want to see the top level post. Is that possible bluesky? #bluesky

Where are all the well-organized militias? Shouldn't they be organizing or something?

TACO Tuesday! (thank goodness) #taco #tacotuesday

Oh wow, you can bet on what words Trump is going to use this week on polymarket.

Five books to get to know me by: 1. Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake 2. Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite 3. The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison 4. To the Devil a Daughter by Dennis Wheatley 5. Slinky Malinki by Lynley Dodd

There is a part of me that envies people who believe in ghost and magic crystals. I wish I believed in a future where the grey rain-curtain of this world rolled back to reveal white shores, and a far green country under a swift sunrise. Rather than the grim, relentless march of entropy.

I'm an atheist, but I'm willing to try the power of prayer. You know what for.

I can't believe there's been only one attempt. Disappointing.

With so much crap happening in the world, I did not hear about the law passed in California that requires OS-level age verification until yesterday. Pretty done with clueless arseholes making short-sighted decisions with terrifying long-term consequences.

God, I hate that he is in my head.

Did they attack Venezuela to secure oil because they intended to attack Iran and knew it would shutdown oil shipments from the gulf?

Ok, finished the cozy cottage core book I was reading. Back to Malazan book of the Fallen.

This sucks. I left the US so I wouldn't have Trump in my head every day.

I have a fear, an insecurity, that I am not an artist, a thinker, or a creative; I am nothing more than a consumer of content. I give nothing back to the world. Merely a parasite that exists to consume. That the person I aspire to be is a dead skin mask hiding a void. I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE ELON!
