God this place is still More Insufferable Twitter

Sorry, I’m up for some equal opportunity diminutives for Chippy, Whinny, Rimmer and all those wankers in badly fitting blue suits. …feel like I’ve missed somebody out, just can’t put my thumb on it

Everyone knows you need to do several run throughs beforehand for a successful event so great job everyone we are ready.

You're all being ridiculous but by all means do not stop. If the posts get to a high enough pitch, they'll drag him out for a public appearance where they have to hide all the tubes sticking out of him

when it happens... I will be online ALL day. cancel my appointments. hold my calls. "what were you doing when you found out?" my grandchildren will ask. "the posts, children, I was reading the posts!!" I'll say, and we'll all crowd around my scrapbook containing the best ones

I was reading an article about retirement and how after a couple of years post retirement, apparently costs go down once people settle into it and it’s because we spend a lot of money “to work”. Clothes, commute, lunch, coffees - we work so we are able to work.

Is there a single Australian who gives a rat’s shit what Bibi Netanyahu thinks? Netanyahu is a corrupt, loveless, narcissistic, irredeemable armchair warlord whose entire approach to leadership is a desire to escape personal accountability by abandoning moral authority. He is garbage, and fuck him.

Govt fails women ✊🏽 Wāhine workers should never have to drag the Govt to court for fairness. We stand with the unions, this elite Govt has failed wahine, failed unions, failed Aotearoa. #oneterm #PayEquityNow #StandWithWāhine

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

I'm happy to announce that my opinion of AI has changed! I used to just hate it, now I think we need to [redacted] Sam Altman and every [redacted] pushing this ghoulish bullshit with [redacted] until they [redacted], and salt the earth of every data centre after [redacted] to the ground.

Crikey mates I only went and had a weekend that I now need a weekend for, didn't I.

There's someone selling "HP fan for trans rights" merch in the vendor hall and I hate them more than I hate the ai bro.

I've been working on my own map of the Dalelands from the Forgotten Realms to use in a future campaign, been a fun wee project

Paging @megapope.bsky.social...

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

My current favourite genre of pizza is Frozen Pre Made Pizza That I Added Unhinged Amounts Of Other Stuff To

Finally, the contemporary propaganda is starting to get good

This framing hits me in the feels... "nearly two thirds of a billion" ($620m) is how I always summarise the funding the 2017-20 government put into eliminating family violence and sexual violence, over three Budgets, thanks to the legendary Jan Logie If only we'd bought ZERO BOATS instead

Why are legal excuses for culture shenanigans always like no one objected to our ambush ?

I'm so tired of Pākehā slithering into conversations around the ongoing colonisation and erasure of Māori language and culture to defend the process, like it's somehow magically divorced from the intent and outcome.

I can’t believe Andrew Little (on the Representation Commission) thought it was a good idea to change the name Rongotai to “Wellington Bays” on the suggestion of his former chief of staff, without checking in with local representatives, mana whenua or, apparently, anyone else.

A few years ago some people said oh wow I actually like spending time with my family and doing non work things after work and not commuting and all corporations in union went ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT.

"He acted from pique and now is backfilling the reasons" Yep, that's the guy alright.

Chloe was right, was right to say it and was right not to apologize There are multiple government MPs who are saying privately they know the govt position is deeply wrong but are putting *themselves* first when it comes to the greatest atrocity of the modern age. That's FAR more than just spineless

When Australian AI expert Dr Kobi Leins declined a medical specialist’s request to use AI transcription software during her child’s upcoming appointment, the practice told her the practitioner required the technology be used and Leins was "welcome to seek an alternative" provider. Read more:

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

soon on webworm: tunnels

Omg David Farrier is interviewing that Kala lady who digs tunnels under her house I'm so excited

Well this is a headline I just read with my eyes.

God help them because our bootlicker govt won't www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

if a woman tells you you have “nice hands” she is doing everything in her power not to fuck you senseless please release her from her torment her friends are receiving the kinds of messages someone in prison would send

No you read this and then spent the next 5 mins mucking around with a shit bit of Javascript to test the idea out

*me, reading through notes from the last D&D session to get the recap right, nodding sagely* "robot triceratops attacked the casino through the magic portal... yes, good.... summoned geese, of course, of course... bard's bagpipes exploding a bone devil across the hallway, yes that makes sense..."

Look, it's all bad. But never forget, we have each other, and we also have this calming plate of sausages. Just look at it.

Pulled lifeless from a commercial fishing net off the Otago coast, the adult female yellow-eyed penguin had drowned in a silent, unseen death. She was the last known breeding-age female Hoiho from the Sandfly Bay colony. #NZOverFishing

Look at this fucking tea bag refusing to steep properly until I stir it. I blame woke.

YASS WHAEA!!! #nzpol

ChatGPT is spitting out mostly meaningless fluff that kind of sounds like polished copy to someone who’s not a skilled writer or editor. I admit that’s enough to get by in a lot of email jobs, but I don’t believe you when you say ChatGPT is good at writing.

therapist: long grilled cheese isn't real, it can't hurt you long grilled cheese:

Kia ora! I'm Riwhi, I've written a 3 games Māori games! 'Whakawhitinga' is a GM-less worldbuilding game informed by a Māori story. 'Earth Mother, Sky Father' is a duet conversation game about Māori deities, and 'it is a beautiful day on the marae and you are a baby pūkeko' is about a Māori ritual!

Either EVERYONE should be able to move around the world as freely as people who, through no conduct of their own, are born in wealthy global north states; or we all have to go through what every African citizen endures trying to get into 1 of those states. The fact it is unequal should shock us.

I get so down in the chops about people openly using AI slop to make multi paragraph comments on social media, like it's some kind of relevant contribution. What are you doing. What are you hoping to get out of this. It's as pointless as using AI to mark papers written with AI. Why are you here?

Anyway, trans people have a right to exist and the Labour Party does not

The Nats are scared of you

“What is this Labour and the Nats campaigning together?” Peeni Henare gets a cosy Breakfast TV spot mid by-election next to Chris Bishop. And Bish endorses him on live TV. Thoughts, whānau? #VoteOriini #NZPol #TāmakiMakaurau #ByElection #OldPartiesSameClub #ElectoralRules #FairnessMatters

We’re so doomed

this is what the attorney general looks like in a kevin sorbo movie where jesus is a character

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button
