If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

The first episode of season 5 of Grimm is quite literally the whole cast having exasperated conversations about how contrived the events of the season 4 finale were and roasting all the plot holes they now have to fill, while Nick slowly loses his mind

If I’m honest with myself, this is my favorite thing to ever happen in science. Sure I should say any number of medical advancements, but in my heart, it’s the ice cream result.

Crashes like these are the inevitable result of AT dragging its feet on building safe & separated cycle lanes Unfortunately, because of the govt's forced speed increases, events like this will happen more often Hope recovery goes well @juliefairey.bsky.social www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland-...

If you're not sure why Pikachu is shocked, the clue is in the first sentence. Success for our health system isn't measured by equal access and outcomes, or the wellbeing of whānau and communities; it's the "waiting lists reduced by x amount" press releases Ministers of Health want to publish

When online harassment is dressed in the authority of Parliament, it signals that ridicule is not just endorsed but institutional. That’s more than a little concerning. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Folks it has been A Day if anyone needs me I'll be hiding under a blanket eating frozen cherries and blasting this on repeat

Happy thought for the day?

5 days and 274 burpees left to go for #SweatWithPride. Give me - and lifesaving services for LGBTQ+ folks - a wee boost to power through to the end?

I TALK ABOUT THIS CONSTANTLY This bizarre expectation that people (mostly women) have unique menus every evening for their families with low repetition/freshly prepared foods is EXTREMELY MODERN. Personally, I love to keep a pot of perpetual stew. Delicious, easy, and requires almost no thought.

"But WHY won't the Greens even CONSIDER supporting National???" 🤔

Thought I couldn't love this man more

#nzpol debate bro seymour when an opposing view exists:

Please share your favorite Zohran crash outs here. Thank you in advance.

Parliament has gone into urgency, to cover off such critical matters as gambling on racing, hunting, and penalizing people for working only the hours they get paid for. #NZPOL

Where's that "I consent" "I consent" "is there someone you've forgotten to ask?" Jesus meme but for Trump's alleged ceasefire deal

Perfect Chlöe thumbnail

Cassandra is 100% correct but I must add: it's also typical rightwing coward shit. Men like Seymour and Peters and Jones are very happy to make direct, inflammatory attacks against their opponents then run away crying "I misspoke" "it was the heat of the moment" "it was just a joke" when called out

If David Seymour wants to make jokes he can go on 7 Days or better yet quit parliament and become a stand up comedian. Why is he making jokes via press release. You’re not paid $354,000 to make jokes ffs.

"what about it was a joke?" What precisely about calling people a victim and suffering derangement for contributing to public debate over policy and exercising free speech was meant to be funny? Please answer in full.

Board gamers too!

The Green Party is calling on the Government to condemn the United States for its illegal bombing of Iran and inflaming tensions across the Middle East. www.greens.org.nz/greens_call_...

Submissions don't have to be long-winded and detailed, folks. Make your voice heard, shout out the people and organisations who are across the detail, keep showing up to tell this government of dickwads "NO".

A letter I sent to Minister Mitchell today regarding DC hate-rally inciting violence in Tāmaki Makaurau this weekend
