Someone used the KSP soundtrack as backing to an AI-slop voice video called "30 Affirmations To Manifest Abundance", got 4 views, then submitted it to YouTube's copyright bank, so now KSP videos that have the KSP soundtrack are getting claimed (including my most recent one). @YouTube I have submitted a dispute but ongoing abuse of the copyright system needs to be cracked down on and I hope this can be investigated and dealt with swiftly @YouTubeCreators The claimant video (they are claiming the song is called "30 Affirmations To Manifest Abundance"): youtube.com/watch?v=aMMOC7… The ACTUAL song is called Bathed in the Light by Kevin Macleod and also IS IN THE YOUTUBE AUDIO LIBRARY (screenshot attached)!

@rogerpounamu @SimeonBrownMP Yes ... Learning from a process (reflection) is one of the most valuable post-project activities, whatever the outcome of the project (and often more important if the project failed).

@SimeonBrownMP A lot of money has been spent. To tie up the loose ends, and record/analyse what we can learn from the successes and any mistakes is what a sensible organisation would do. I guess National sees itself outside of that category.

Unbelievable. You can’t make this stuff up. The gravy train doesn’t stop under Labour.

@JohnReid16 @SimeonBrownMP I was going to say something like this, but you've said it better.

@SimeonBrownMP Almost no business activity stops overnight, Simeon. When I stopped working as a consultant I was still paying tax to the IRD a year later. It's how the law works. Winding things up is not done in five minutes.

@duncanyzf20 The words "ethnic group" are the clue here. This isn't a question about your nationality.

Where’s New Zealander?

@ChantelleBakerr It is possible to protest both climate change and child slavery (and a bunch of other things as well). These are not mutually exclusive and "protesting climate change" does NOT mean "supporting child slavery" you feckless clot.

People who protest against the climate but don’t protest against child slavery are the most misinformed lot on the planet. Your ‘green agenda’ has blood on its hands.

@redhotembers Ahh yes. Much better that when you make a mistake, you should lie about it and cover it up. Give me the person openly admitting their mistakes any day.

@actparty @farmgeek ACT: Referencing your own accusations as "proof" is circular nonsense at best. "You're all idiots" say I. As proof of my claim, I reference my last sentence. Case closed, yes?

@farmgeek Mahuta wasn’t exonerated of this: act.org.nz/press-releases…

I haven’t seen a single National supporter talk about Kuriger doing the very thing they accused Mahuta of: Improperly using her position to benefit her family. Except Mahuta was exonerated by an independent inquiry. A lot of racists telling on themselves. newsroom.co.nz/mps-emails-sho…

@OpinionistNZ Parody or not, there are people who will rally around this. If parody serves to boost the thing it's parodying, then it's dangerous. If this is not a parody, then it's just more depressingly harmful rubbish meant to mislead. This rubbish doesn't help, whether it's real or not.

One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

30 bad COVID arguments debunked: thelogicofscience.com/2022/01/19/deb… These are so frequent & so soundly rebuffed, I'm putting them all on here because you can't be trusted to click on link. Skip the next 30 if you're so over this right now. A thread.

@Raegune @torybruno ROFLMAO ...

We don't talk about them. There are so many....

Tamaki's bikes mates held up an intersection I pulled up to today and my daughter says "what is that gang?" Me "Destiny Church". Her "what a cheek calling yourselves Iwi Tapu." Can't fool our kura kids.

Turning away from anti-vax protest rubbish, let's focus our praise on this. Kids turned out in the thousands today to get vaccinated. At the Tamaki Vaccination Centre, it felt amazing because whole families were there. Stickers, certificates, activities, games, high fives. CHAMPS

Two work colleagues had this experience with their kids yesterday. What kind of person goes out to yell at kids indeed!

I don’t hate many people on this planet, but these feckers…
