So @melbailey.bsky.social did a "one like = one [something]" thread of lots of cool things in her house. I think my house would be good for this so I will do it too. One like, one photo of some ridiculous-assed thing in my house. With or without a story attached, I dunno
Mother has developed a non-serious but debilitating complaint this week which means I have to basically do most things for her that involve standing and walking around much and I feel my sandwich-generationhood very hard rn

The thing that people actually WANT is robots to do the housework. You couldn't manufacture enough of them if they did things like dusting and dishes and laundry and weeding

Hey remember David Seymour waxing lyrical about Milei halving the number of govt departments, and halving poverty, and no one in the NZ media (with the honorable exception of @mountaintui.bsky.social ) questioned it? That was fun 😒

After using billions of US tax dollars to win another election Javier Milei introduced the 12 hour work day to Argentina.
This is after doubling the poverty rate in the country.
More work more poverty more police brutality = anarcho capitalism

"Shut up you nonce-enabling cunt" is a breathtaking insult for the ages and I think it deserves a wider audience
Shut up you nonce-enabling cunt. Nobody here owes you shit. You should probably fuck off back to Twitter with the other nonces and nazis, you'll be right at home.

I say this as someone who loves technology but hates the tech industry - why do we have to love technology? why do we have to give something like AI clemency for its errors? It's a product we are being sold, it should have to earn our money or attention.
I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

As a former librarian with the boring degree to prove it, when AI boosters talk about learning how to do "prompts" all I'm hearing is search strategies and keywords. As an adult human doing research you should already know how to bend a database to your will and get appropriate results, dipshits

Jesus Christ I just did a week's grocery order and I have to take a knee
Two vegetarian meals; one (frozen) seafood dish; cut all the meat amounts down by 20% on the other recipes
Still staring anxiously at the bank balances

I have achieved the Required Work Boring Things and it's only 2pm! I feel like a superhero
NOW I must stop myself doing many more boring things for several more hours and burning myself out for tomorrow's boring things. I am being a human grown-up who will do something else, like plan the meals

Everyone! It turns out if you start work at a reasonable hour in the morning and put on a Pomodoro timer and actually stick to it, you can do your paid work during the day and then go to bed at a normal time! Were you aware of this

Today the ERA Bill passed, marking a dark day for NZ workers.
This Govt has weakened YOUR job security.
For instance, the door is now open for employers to ‘re-hire’ anyone as a ‘specified contractor’, lacking protections like min wage, holiday pay, sick leave and the right to join a union. #nzpol

there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

really gone under-reported just how heavily, and directly, connected these networks are to sitting politicians
NZ has not really come to terms with how far developed the disinfo networks were that led to riots and flames on the parliament grounds.
It's been brushed off as individual cookers without much serious introspection in public of the information ecosystem and funding conditions that led to it.

The second #kakapo chick of the #kakapo2026 breeding season hatched this morning: Hine Taumai-A1-2026 on Ako's nest on Te Kākahu. We transferred the egg from Anchor two nights ago. This is Ako's first-ever chick, which is just a few hours old in this video. #conservation #birds #parrots
