Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I guess we're also supposed to forget that the media defending the fiscal honour of Triple-Dipper Luxon weren't quite so fastidious eight year aso, when it came to Metiria Turei's trial by media for benefit fraud almost thirty years before. She was fair game. #nzpol
What a bell end. The "attack" highlights the unfairness of someone uber-wealthy realising $600,000 in untaxed gains.

It's not diverting attention at all, but highlighting precisely why we need this policy.

Chippy should respond with "Rate dodger says what?"
