I will vote for any political party who regulates (stamps out) the obscene and widespread practice of supermarket butcheries saturating their meat with water.

What you assholes aren’t taking enough money off us?

I pushed through lots of pain to finish her. Really need to sell her quickly, & for as much $ as I can possibly get… definitely wanting at least $1500 as she’s very big.
78.5cm x 70cm.
Please share widely, I would greatly appreciate the help.

“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening

This is right up there with the stupidest shit I’ve ever read
Auckland welcomes passengers on inaugural 'worlds longest direct flight' from China to Argentina
The route from China to Argentina - with a short break in New Zealand - takes more than 25 hours, with the return journey taking even longer.

Unfortunately this is *absolutely* the wrong lesson.

The real lesson is:

🔹️most work of exec class is substance-less illusions.

If AI is useful in a given use case its because you really only care about form, not substance [as an aside, this why such a great plagiarism machine].

The coalition of chaos crashes the construction industry, and rather than announce any fiscal stimulus to stem the haemorrhaging, they announce a whole bunch of punitive measures and extra cost for both industry and customer.

Ladies and gentlemen, the “party of business” 👏🏻🙄

Exactly this. This is both an act of deliberate cruelty towards a marginalised, vulnerable community and a trial balloon to see how far they can push, and how fast.
(Going by the last two years and the pace and volume of erosion, and active targeting of vulnerable people - very far, and very fast.)

Shameful that we’re better at this than our national sport.
And it's our 4th time! In comparison, we won the men's rugby World Cup only 3 times... so our government is much better at denying climate change mitigation efforts than at supporting the national sport.

Couple of branching thoughts before I move on.

As long as we continue to view management and leadership as about control and status laddering, rather delivering results and elevating those around us, we will continue to incentivise unsuitable and sometimes downright broken people to cling to power.

Son was followed in his car for some distance just now by some assholes in a jacked up ute firing fireworks at him. Flashes caught on his dash cam but sadly no vehicle details.

Ban fireworks AND utes 🤬

Hey anyone at #mpi or #biosecuritynz. We do wasp genomics. I reckon I could tell you in about 24 hours if these invasive yellow legged #hornets you have found in Auckland are sisters, or a larger invasion. For free. Hit me up now!
