Apparently I have 30+ notifications that it can't show me. Seems unlikely! 😅

😂😭😉

Makes me think of the time Dave and I were 'talent' on a Macdonalds commercial shoot together that never ended up going to air. Can't remember why.

Nostalgia 🤔

What a lovely gesture 😍

Few have contributed as much to our understanding of the genre as Alexandra Heller-Nicholas. This is a reminder that even the most accomplished people can be struggling in ways we don't know about - Alex needs a boost if you can spare a little kindness.

Crazy how perfectly it matched her hair tone

Just got the semi-regular 'Grammarly' ad on YouTube, this time advertising an AI feature called ahem 'Humanizer' which "adds warmth and nuance to your writing". Talk about bone dry irony...

7:10am standing at the desk in the office, realising too late that today's shirt came out of the wash smelling weird, waiting to be paid due to an HR system error, and my recently badly rolled ankle slowly improving, yet very aware that my life is relatively privileged and easy #MaundyThursday

Government have quietly changed Covid booster schedule from 6 months to 12 months with zero public promotion.

Fucking awful.

Hell yes. This is a crazy direction At least Mark Dalder has a decent piece on it in Newsroom from yesterday (that I caught this morning)

It should be a front page story that fringe views are driving (slash continuing to drive🫠) New Zealand’s public health policy.
It’s also a very bad sign about the health of our media that it’s not - and a bad sign for our democracy when the public stops being informed about things that impact them.

I feel seen! 😂

TAMBOURINE MAN: Interview with Joel Gion of The Brian Jonestown Massacre YouTube video by amoeblog

Dovetailing with The Brian Jonestown Massacre AKL gig last night, here's a 15yr old, 6min interview with Joel Gion talking (solely) through his tambourine collection 😎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsfn...

Ad for film Mārama playing $5 Wednesday @ Academy Cinemas in Auckland city 18 March 2026.

AKL FILM PSA:
Toa Stappard's MĀRAMA is playing $5 Wednesday @ Academy Cinemas tomorrow evening. I'd struggle to imagine getting a better return on $5. Go see it!

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

I initially misread that as in "Bing'd" and briefly wondered about your life choices 😂 Makes me want to give VLADIMIR a look though, so Taa 🙌🏾

At the end of each episode a friend can pop up and scream "Oh my God, they killed Creasy!"

IT IS NOT THE JOB OF A PUBLIC BROADCASTER IN A DEMOCRACY TO REPORT THE NEWS IN A WAY THE GOVERNMENT LIKES. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOT OKAY FOR MINISTERS AND POLITICALLY-APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS TO DICATE INDIVIDUAL EDITORIAL DECISIONS. THIS SHOULD BE FUCKING OBVIOUS.

Denis Lavant dancing 😍

This should be a sci-fi book cover 😍

@moatatamaira.bsky.social Taratoa Stappard appreciated your review of MĀRAMA (as did I!) 🙌🏾

I saw it with Miss 17 incl. a Q+A with TS after. We collectively WTF?!?'d in the party scene, but a less extreme version of that is familiar enough 😞 Such a great film!

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.
