When the government talks about getting tough on gangs I think about the lives so many of them have led. When has the government been anything but tough on them? What actual fucking chance did they have. Shame on the government and all those who went before them

Lessons I've learned from the LLM era (list to be expanded, probably): 1. Sufficiently advanced autocomplete is indistinguishable from an impossibly well-read toddler on peyote. 2. Almost any decision has the potential to be a life-or-death decision, if you're bad enough at it.

"I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead" Happy birthday to TOM STOPPARD, born Tomáš Straussler this day (July 3) in 1937

Lol. Facts: Government forced to boost pharmac funding after sustained outcry from the public and appalling optics that they believed damaged their expensively wrought facade. They’re wrong, there is no facade we know they’re venal, self-serving incompetent economic managers and bad for NZ.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

I know it's a controversial take, especially because so much effort went into stealing him, but if world events keep escalating I think we should return Timothee Chalamet to the Fae. They're obviously still super angry

Kids (0 to 9 age) have not seen the same reduction in risk from hospitalisation due to covid as older age groups, because there are a constant supply of infants added to this cohort who are meeting covid for the first time with untrained immune systems.

I’ll just leave this here again. #nzpol New ferries

“The two new ferries would have meant double the passenger and vehicle capacity and triple rail capacity, while reducing the carbon footprint by about 40 percent.”

Dearest NZ Labour. Please for the love of queer Winnie the Pooh do not take a centrist line. You lost the last election because your centrist bullshit broke your MPs. There were own goals, but effectively you lost the public’s trust. Fight for workers and start drafting an omnibus repeal bill!

I dunno but a govt that spent 100 days cancelling the previous govt’s legislation & initiatives, and is pushing through a bill that will allow fast track private enterprise projects with little public scrutiny has got a nerve being “incredibly disappointed” with anyone else’s “asset management”.
