I was once on stage with Sir Ian McKellen, who was playing Richard III. He was doing a talk at The Court Theatre and decided he’d do a bit of Shakespeare so he got a bunch of us up from the audience to be dead bodies but we were on the stage and at least technically acting.

If you're sick of this coalition government, WRITE A SUBMISSION - the Regulatory Standards Bill submissions process could be a way to trigger a snap election. #nzpol thank you to AshReborn on Tiktok who put together this explainer. www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

if you want New Zealand urban culture in a single image: I got to the bus stop first, so I’m standing under shelter; seven other people who arrived later and are waiting for the same bus are standing in the rain.

“I remember 3D gaming just became possible and then Doom and Wolfenstein introduced the 3D shooter” motherfucker IN WHAT WORLD? 3D gaming became possible BECAUSE real people worked real fucking hard on those games. Hardware came much, much later.

people can't eat 60+ cheeseburgers in an hour, effortlessly a "gpt request" can be as simple as "good morning." remember sam altman's temper tantrum over people being "polite" to the chatbot. and yea i've been yelling about growing alfalfa and shit in the west, especially for export, for years

A mí me da un poco de miedo que no se atrevan a poner la bandera LGBTIQ+. Y sí, ya sé que lo hacían para aparentar pero da respeto pensar que una bandera que defiende derechos humanos básicos ya no sea una imagen positiva para estas empresas. Odio el pinkwashing pero da miedo la invisibilización.

"Look, if you give people homes, the next thing you know, they’re going to start to get their lives together and then get jobs and start organizing. Then they’ll expand Medicare to everyone and build a fucking light rail line instead of a border wall."
