".. the fact remains that had the circumstances been completely different, we might have come close to almost nearly risking the potential loss of 32 influencers, which would have reduced our nation's strategic influencer reserve to a little over 47 million." Dave Barry 😂👍 #funny #US

Some people are such comedy legends that when they tour you have to go and see them, Eric Idle is such a person. In late October 2024 he toured Aotearoa New Zealand and I went and saw him! #comedy #legend #photography

So here's a thing. Drunk Uncle Government wants to outsource healthcare to the private sector, right? But. The public and private sectors do not communicate. Data - patient notes, scans, etc, do not pass back and forth as a matter of course, they need to be requested, causing delays. 1/2

It's still possible to preserve a page from the Herald in the Internet Archive; there's a simple browser extension that also archives outgoing links. So we now need to do this whenever we cite a Herald story in Wikipedia (and of course we could do it each day to their home page as a public service.)

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

Bernard Hickey: The Govt’s retrospective law wrecks 33 pay equity deals. $17 billion in wages & back-pay will not now go to over 150,000 workers. That means the $14 billion of tax cuts going mostly to landlords & highest earners are being paid for by wage cuts for the poorest NZers, mostly women.

I love this window and, even though I am absolutely sure it's an off the shelf piece, the centre totally reminds me of a 1600's Three Musketeers Athos moustache 😃 #window #pattern #colours #photography

I don't care what you say, I really like Der Dunkle Turm. I know, it's got absolutely nothing really to do with the astounding book series, but as a standalone movie Der Dunkle Turm is fun. #movie

Politics has become an ugly place, with double standards for women, Māori and our rainbow community. It’s crucial to have discussions about the online criticism directed at women and gay politicians and I’m really looking forward to using my platform to find positive solutions. #nzpol
