It really doesn’t seem like “we’re happy with what our opponents are proposing” is a great way to get people to vote for you 🫠

The economy doesn’t need to improve, house prices will start moving north again thanks to the low OCR. Sadly that’s all they need to spin their “back on track” bs.

Our net public debt is nothing at all to be concerned about, and at least they were spending it mostly on stuff we need, not just roads, landlords, tobacco companies, oil and gas.

And we could tax them while we're at it 😤

Those crucial issues won’t just unaware themselves you know!

Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...

They’re so far from “on the left”, they’re the Atlas Network’s other-side-of-the-isle second choice for when their first picked get too fascist for the majority of voters.

This little guy is sorry to hear about your car troubles

On the wrong hand, does it still count?

Auckland welcomes passengers on inaugural 'worlds longest direct flight' from China to Argentina The route from China to Argentina - with a short break in New Zealand - takes more than 25 hours, with the return journey taking even longer.

This is right up there with the stupidest shit I’ve ever read

When it’s finished in a decade that fuckhead will be long gone.

My cat thinks humans are assholes. Poor thing was scared shitless.

I’ve seen hail damaged cars in the USA, it’s not pretty.

I could hear the ice chunks falling closer and closer as the front moved in, never seen anything like it here.

We got the biggest hailstones I’ve ever seen in NZ. Moved the car into the carport.

RIP big fella

Misogynist little shitweasel

I wondered too if the ad hom would be so instant if it were a male Principal.

Unfortunately this is *absolutely* the wrong lesson.

The real lesson is:

🔹️most work of exec class is substance-less illusions.

If AI is useful in a given use case its because you really only care about form, not substance [as an aside, this why such a great plagiarism machine].

Ooh could be either mushy cauli or lumpy spud 🤢

Lumpy mash and overboiled beans and carrots, exquisite.

I got the joke, but I too had this question about low inflation 🤔

He exists in a chamber, swimming in a pool filled only with his own cum, above the surface an atmosphere of only his own farts. He gargles, huffs, eternally.

Laser focused on the cost of living 🙄

The coalition of chaos crashes the construction industry, and rather than announce any fiscal stimulus to stem the haemorrhaging, they announce a whole bunch of punitive measures and extra cost for both industry and customer.

Ladies and gentlemen, the “party of business” 👏🏻🙄
