It's teacher-only day at our local primary school and I know how tough those can be for working parents. Fortunately, my neighbour has invited over, by my estimation based on the noise levels while trying to work, 30-50 children for an all-day screaming contest. #ittakesavillage #screams #feral

Imagine how I feel. I'm not allowed to be in the same place as Tony Hadley in case it creates some kind of freaky spacetime incident.
Screenshot of ABC News article showing someone on a plane using headphones and reading a book. The headlines reads "New United Airlines policy allows airline to ban passengers who don't use headphones".
Your move, Auckland Transport.
Lack of self-doubt and inability to take feedback is the most pure, classic corporate CEO behaviour.
You could always go and see Tony Hadley tonight at the Powerstation...
Yeah that's entirely reasonable. I'm lucky enough to be just above average height and I like to stand when I can but definitely ran it close at a couple of gigs last year. Blood Incantation at Whammy was particularly intense.
Fair play. I'm 45 now so I will only do it if I know the rest of the crowd will be middle aged or if the venue is small enough that I have an easy escape.
As if work would give me a good enough laptop to actually run a fucking AI tool on top of the clunky, bloated base application. FFS.
If every single application I use to do my job could stop shoving its shitty AI in my face, that would be great. If I want an inaccurate summary of the long, highly technical document I'm working on I'll ask for it.
Just kicked some religious door-knockers off my front porch with this blasting at full volume in the background. I'm honestly surprised they knocked in the first place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW_u...
Screenshot from the "Support Stuff" section of stuff.co.nz that reads as follows: If our work matters to you help protect its future. Support gutsy, essential journalism that keeps New Zealand informed and inspired. Directly back independent news free from political influence. Fund reporting that services every corner of NZ. Help keep quality journalism accessible for everyone.
And yet they still have the gall to ask for money like this:
David Seymour is such a disingenuous prick. I can't recall Air NZ doing anything that political and can't imagine that whatever token efforts Air NZ makes towards inclusiveness and greenwashing has anywhere the impact on their fortunes that their continually degraded service does.
Totally agree. That was really special!
Pulp. Let's fucking do this.
If it's not too much to ask, perhaps the government can take some time out from its busy schedule of shafting the working class to deal with the catastrophic flooding around the country.
Absolutely. The NZHRC is a disgrace. People who are ideologically opposed to the rights of specific protected groups should be immediately disqualified as candidates.
Looking at future, current and past commissioners, she's not even qualified. It's like a NZ law hall of fame plus one partisan baked potato who hasn't practiced for 24 years and specialised in commercial law (no shade but it hardly equips you to grapple with constitutional or human rights law).
Three amazing Kiwis.
Sir Edmund Hillary. Which does also out me as having attended one of the wankiest schools in NZ...
Lorde at Spark Arena. Wow.
One of those rare occasions where Seymour and Peters (a) agree on something; and (b) are correct. Is there a solar eclipse today or something?
Useless fucking Chrisco ass government.
Jesus wept. Are we buying it from a shop truck? Financing it via payday loans? What margin exactly is Instant Finance taking on this? Does it at least come with a free Chrisco hamper?
This couldn't make less sense.
Glad to hear it! I might have to try and negotiate a leave pass for next year...
A few of my friends went. Sounds like a massive weekend and absolutely worth it (I hope?).
Putting the wrecked back in Shipwrecked?
It's not our usual but we needed urgent care and we are stuck with them until this issue is fully resolved but we definitely won't be going back.
