wow. haven't thought about this song in decades. I had to sing this for my primary school play, I think I was 7, and probably the last time I could hit that register 😂

Nimesh Patel's definition of DEI is sending me 🤣🤣🤣

🏆🏆🏆 - Definitely #1st place 😂

💯💯💯

Today I moved an amendment to ensure we have a BDS approach to our new Disaster Resilience Fund. This means we will not invest in Israeli government bonds or businesses that support the genocide or illegal occupation of Palestinian land. It's the right thing to do. #nzpol

🧠 The more I see AI-written pieces on LinkedIn and across the tech industry, the more convinced I am that long-form reading and writing regularly is a critical practice to keep from thinking and sounding like everyone else. I will fire the newsletter up again, and prob move off substack 😔

My tattoo artist brother always been the outspoken one, from local government corruption (see: ABA, Avondale), all the way to genocides on the other side of the world. Been saying it with his whole chest since the beginning ❤️ #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Too much "we're cooked" & not enough "we're not gonna take this shit"

💯💯

this one loads for me.

nope. not loading for me. chrome on macbook air.

💯 loved this talk @scott.hanselman.com well done!

We're from the same generation of tech, similar socio-economic level too; and saw the same promise in it back then.
Awesome call-outs on current state!

Big s/o to teachers & human beings like Mrs Hill who see and foster their students passions ❤️🙏🏽

note: I'm a paid subscriber of etangata.bsky.social, webworm, but looking for more daily feeds like the main outlets rnz, nzh, stuff etc.

❓❓❓
What's everyone's method/technique/system of consuming daily or realtime news while minimising bias and creating an echo chamber?

Keen to hear how others are doing it before having to build something myself.

Sooo... the swamp on X is feeling some type of way today 🤣

is it better to remove "Palestine" and "genocide" from your keynote so that it goes ahead cos its a big tech event? or take that as a sign that a talk that included those words should make a stand given that choice? idealistic sure, but I thought that would've been the stakes, no?

💯

💯 this is what I'm talking about tech/hacker frenz.

rinse. repeat.

this is awesome! more of this 💯

I'm just a simple country conflict tracker but someone once told me attacking a neutral flagged civilian vessel in international waters was a grave crime against the international community that only Iran-backed Houthi terrorists would stoop to

If the media does not attack this issue with the longrunning ferocity of the media attacking any given brown woman MP who is not actually in government for breathing wrong, I will be wondering about stuff out loud.

and you would be right... MedusaJS looks pretty siiick..

but also, dammit Ira! I'm already rabbit-holed on some other cool sh!t @santini.nz showed me yesterday 🤣

can't say I'm familiar with "micro frontends" but it sounds fascinating. I may have to dig into and understand it a bit more- but happy to read what come back with in your explorations :D

I was running a hackathon with a bunch of high school students for techweeknz, they had to solve local problems picked out of a hat, per team- my team picked this very problem: "local food distribution system".

🙌🏽 this looks very cool, check it out y'all.

all good. I've got a few little project ideas I was just about to kick off this weekend, so will try this out for sure, so thanks for sharing!
