A campaign poster for Bird of the Year 2025 promoting the takahē, which is pictured wearing a red and white pom-pom beanie like the one worn by Wally/Waldo and partially hidden by leaves and foliage. The subtitle reads "Aotearoa Hide and Seek Champion 50 years running".

After learning that these guys have NEVER won before I have done a thing. #boty

Uh-oh....

He said the B word

I direct NZers attention to who was asking in the House if politicians had backbone in 2008

Did you know the Women’s Rugby World Cup kicks off next Friday? No?

Fair enough coverage has been pretty bare bones.

I’m doing everything I possibly can to bring coverage this event deserves and am sending myself to England for the duration.

I have no contracted work lined up. So hiring myself.

Stop scrolling, weary traveler, and rest for a moment

Worried! At The Disco

Just letting you know that Meridian owns Powershop. If you're into the little bit of admin involved in packs and such they're good.

A cute baby elephant

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for motorists when they see a bike lane

If you're an #InternetNZ member planning to participate in the upcoming AGM, you, like me, might have been finding it difficult to get your head around the changes to the Constitution that would be effectuated by the MANY proposed motions.

I've created a tracked-changes style guide:

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Shameful

It's the What Could Be Festival, and the main stage is called Glastonbury

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

Consider a programmer looking at code they themselves wrote a year ago, now having to identify and fix a bug. They have to rebuild the mental model of what is going on, which is easier if they have already had a mental model of what is going on.

Sounds like a chatgpt ending

Imagine being able to hear about Trump a whole 24 hours after everyone else.

My absolute favourite footage from any No Kings protest yesterday comes out of Atlanta - when a brass band showed up to drown out a Proud Boys confrontation by playing the Italian Antifa protest song, Bella Ciao.

The song, the girl dancing with the flag, the proud boys that clapped - chefs kiss 🤌🏼

Someone dropped their umbrella at Wellington airport and Taika Waititi picked it up and gave it back. They didn't know Taika, but I smiled and nodded at him and he smiled back and I went to catch my flight.

Two pieces of toast with peanut butter and a cup of coffee

Cheers!
There have been three readings of the book so far, and driving a car to the beach in turbo mode (the couch is the car).

This is perfect! Many thanks to you, Santa. I'll give the peanut butter and coffee a go this morning. Will report back on the book when we get a chance to read it.

Three gifts, one with red wrapping and two with Pohutukawa themed paper

Ooh, nice wrapping. #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

Ding Ding Ding it's opening day!

Michael Forbes must be grateful PM Luxon didn't catch him doing a haka, because then he would have actually been punished...
