Coalition spat deepens as Christopher Luxon fires back at Winston Peters

Seriously, we're in the middle of multiple international crisis and domestic states of emergency and these cunts are busy stabbing each other in the back

You are not a functional government, so give it up and call a snap election so we can vote someone competent to power

Andrew Bayly trying to normalise short submission periods is National's latest attack on our democracy. #nzqt

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

The fuckwit in Hungary loosing by two thirds.

Finally some healing in the world.

Do more. Please.

To everyone who insists that voting doesn't matter and it can never make a difference: Hungarians just voted out an autocrat who had been in power for over 15 years.

Voting works.

It's got to sting. You base your whole strategy on blaming last Govt for inflation caused by a global price shock, and then another one pops up as you head into the election!
Now, can you invest in lessening the impact? Well, yes, but you can't because you've made fiscal constraint your thing! Lol.

omg that looks good

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

People who drive purple cars can't be trusted without proof

(also I will reiterate for the thousandth time that MORE DUDES SHOULD READ ROMANCE, you are missing out)

I'm yelling. I love the Disrespect Contraption

Once connecting the heart of Kyōto to the port of Fushimi, the Takase-gawa (高瀬川) was excavated by Suminokura Ryoi (角倉了以) between 1608-11.
Originally rising beside Suminokura's residence on Kiyamachi-Nijō, at one time the canal stretched all the way to Jujō (十条通).

I can't wait for the genAI bubble to burst and all this crap to end. Also can all us creatives PLEASE stop trying to excuse the use of genAI for any stage it aspect of what we make? As an author, don't use it for a cover, not a temp one, not for your cover artist as "inspo" (just draw a fucking stick figure), and also not to "help know what the characters look like so I can better describe them" 😑 just use picrew. Also, don't use it to "help brainstorm" either cos where do you think it got the shit it regurgitates back at you? (Hint: from all the stolen books it got fed!) Just go and talk with other people! 😩 Need it to help research? Are you sure you'd want to trust the hallucination bot 9000?? Want help taking notes? <just stares at physical notebooks, all the existing writing specific software without genAI, and ye olde word and sheets programs>

This rant is brought to you by someone in a groupchat happily sharing they're busy making a writing toolkit powered by genAI 💀

So, little reminder: fuck genAI 🚮
