Having a kid who’s a jazz musician is great because if I think it sounds terrible I just assume it’s me not understanding jazz and I tell him he’s doing a good job

So my co worker was telling us a story about how ChatGPT sent him to a business that was closed and he got mad at it for wasting his time and petrol and that he hasn’t spoken to ChatGPT in 3 days to punish it and you want me to process this as normal behavior? LIKE WTF.

Shane Jones is spouting some of the most vile racism I have heard in #nzpol and it's barely being reported on. Left bloc MPs have lost careers for far less.
NZ media has this strange presumption of evil that ultimately empowers our worst politicians.

And you my find yourself in an office on the ninth floor And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a whole nation And you may find yourself behind a wooden podium, answering a 400th round of questions about your leadership And you may ask yourself, 'Well how did I get here?"

Let's see if I can make it simple. Here's how much we spend offshore and how much we earn. Take a minnit... [🧵 1/n]

ANALYSIS: Government set to reduce Treaty in legislation to lowest possible standard - what it means Sweeping changes to Treaty clauses across 23 laws could lower te Tiriti to its weakest legal standard, reshaping how it influences decisions in health, environment and beyond.

yes we've all been frothing with the coup, meanwhile Mani Dunlop is out here reporting on this fuckery and what it means.

I should absolutely not eat this carrot cake in one sitting.

BUT I SHALL.

one day when my mom was well into her dementia she told me about skipping meals so my brother and i could eat

that’s why hunger bothers me so much - my mom literally went hungry so we could eat, and right now as a society we won’t take our surplus and feed others

"Just Grow a Garden": The Advice That Refuses to Die New Zealand's food insecurity crisis has more than tripled since 2017. So why are people still telling struggling families to plant vegetables?

On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6’3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat

If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

We turned rivers into road and wetlands into suburbs.

Extreme weather turns them back to rivers and wetlands.

‘Quality of life’ isn’t a big house, luxury goods or a fancy car. It’s being able to cycle your kids on safe streets or run side by side down peaceful roads with your friends. Everyone can & should have this.
