It's still depressingly close. What are people THINKING ?!?!? 🤯

Just like the CoC

We need new media. The current msm are useless.

It's been nearly half a century since rising tides lifted all boats. But I certainly take your point. There is nothing good about AI.

He is an actual bottom feeder.

So true 🙄 I'm still angry that my parents and others paid for all the infrastructure and it was just given away to a bunch of greedy ghouls. Also I didn't vote Labour so they could be a bunch of pussies (as one of my sons would say).
Thanks for the link to the very sensible Hoon 🤗

As usual, denial and projection

As it were 😉

Stop insulting the mentally ill.

Exactly. Seriously, this retired psychiatrist is tired of this kind of ignorance that insults the genuinely mentally ill. They don't ask for it. MAGA does. It's a cult.

Group of 20 economists 😬..

"Not sound economics"

Is it complicated? The mess is complicated but the solution is a Labour government with enough spine to nationalise it. As it was before neoliberalism was forced upon us. This is why I left Labour after 24 years' activism - fundamental changes are needed and they cop out every time.

These people are among the most selfish, unprincipled and craven cowards on the planet.

I suspect both are true

I like Jamelle Bouie's description of Vance as a little pig-man. A bit hard on pigs, but kei te pai!

Ka pai māmā 🤩

Miller is not well

I'm so grateful to Merriam-Webster. A book! 😅
Am about to read Empire of AI by Karen Hao; should be fascinating.

Ah ok, thanks for the encouragement.

Ah I see. Yes. Very different histories: Trumpism is essentially a cult whereas Klutzon was just dumped on us by people who thought he'd be John Key II. Alas for them, he has all the charisma of rising damp.

They do. John Key etc

No

They're doing their best to be like the White House.

Good woman

They're an outpost of the White House using similar methods with similar goals.

I do wish Hipkins had refrained from a bunch of condescending remarks about TPM needing to "sort themselves out".

He's such a dweeb

Just about the first thing he's ever done that I like.

That's a fine piece of architecture

I'm not at all thrilled. AI totally sucks.
