@dmsbriz @SpencerHakimian @aclennell He was trying to likey say he was previously the Prime Minister of Australia himself

@SpencerHakimian @aclennell Genuine question - what was Rudd trying to say there? “Previous position” or something. Referring to himself (in his previous job), Trump (“previous opinion” he held)? I can’t make it out.

Trump: Did an ambassador say something bad? Don't tell me. Is he tell working for you?  Albanese: He’s right there Trump: You said bad. I don't like you either. And I probably never will. Go ahead

@nytimes – I enjoyed every one of the 1,491 minutes I spent with you in 2023

Great piece from the former Editor of the Dominion Post exposing the failure of NZ political journalism. An on point analysis. NZ political reporters should embarrassed about their total election prediction failure - in any other job they’d be fired lol 😂 karldufresne.blogspot.com/2023/10/sudden…

AI is making entertainment from beyond the grave more convincing – but are fans convinced? A study of fan reactions to ABBA’s Voyage tour highlights the ethical questions raised by advances in holographic tech, write @jmattx @Angeliq44579738 + (@AUTuni). bit.ly/3OQWk3z

Lotto NZ on full display for how they don’t realise it’s 2023 and that apps should be 24/7. Nope! NZ exceptionalism 🙄 Bizarre! And don’t tell me it’s about gambling management. That abuse can happen any time of the day! Plus - I just want to check tickets - so seperate it out

@JeremyReesnz Yes you are right and nailed it. I could never put my finger on it either but this fits

I’ve always tried to like Te Papa and visit when I can. But have struggled with finding it often unengaging, even though the exhibits are good. Dawned on me today….is it just too big for what it is….too much space to fill….too few things for the space.

@simianaudio @TheSpinoffTV @simonbwilson Yes without doubt!

@jmattx @TheSpinoffTV @simonbwilson Yeah for sure.. postal voting is a massive fail, especially for the new generation of voters

So @TheSpinoffTV says barely 10% of eligible Aucklanders voted for Wayne Brown, our new mayor, whose biggest claim to fame this campaign was how he wanted to urinate on a photo of @simonbwilson. Our apathy when it comes to local govt is why we are doomed as a city #movingtowelly

Murdered! Plain and simple - US Police clearly are one of the worst most incompetent poorly trained force on the planet! This is just too common. That this ended in shots fired can only be explained by poor training and culture of constant fear. stuff.co.nz/world/12990906…

“Assange’s lawyers say he could face up to 175 years in jail if he is convicted in the US, though American authorities have said the sentence was likely to be in much lower than that” #Encouraging! So still jailed for opting on free speech but just less! i.stuff.co.nz/world/uk/30057…

The Russians fucked it up with Chernobyl in 1986 and not content with their incompetence at a global level disaster then - tried for a second time to fuck us all again by returning via their invasion and being just an stupid as the first time by risking us all again

As I expected- a toothless Tiger response from another useless NZ govt entity to the duopoly of the supermarket chains ripping us off every day. (On a loudspeaker) “Bring out the wet bus tickets for Progressive and Foodstuffs so they can be punished!” stuff.co.nz/business/12797…

What happens if you choose “Betamax” but in this case it’s embedded into your flesh! Read about this Dystopian future around the growing frontier of medics wetware technologies or what are being called electroceuticals spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obs…

After 3 yrs of Covid restrictions affecting NZ my take is the Wellington protest and those elsewhere in the country plus the poll showing 1 in 3 NZers support the protesters is just like that scene in the movie Network! “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gunna take this anymore”

And people claim the book 1984 was alarmist fiction! Fuck off corrections! rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
