I make films and comics in Wellington, New Zealand. BLACK SHEEPS out soon!
Hello NZ govt 👋, maybe this is a better approach than building more prisons & punishing beneficiaries? Hard to argue with the numbers #nzpol
I've never used ChatGPT. If I'm absolutely honest, although I've heard of Claude, I'm not 100% sure what it is. I've never knowingly used an #AI tool. To me, this post reads like 'If pre-sliced cheese was suddenly banned, would you even know how to slice cheese manually?'
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
“I just made up a new word to describe it: ‘earthquake’.”
Trump on Venezuela: "They had the tragedy the other day with the problem, as you know. That was a terrible problem. The uhhh, earthquake I guess you would call it." (The quake was in June)
The good economic managers have created high unemployment again lol who was in govt 11 years ago? Yeah that’s right.
I have determined that the White House at this point is in a "Emperor's New Clothes" mode where nobody wants to admit that the president doesn't smell. By getting others to refuse to wipe, they all smell nasty inside the Oval Office. It's like a hog farm inside there. It's part of the cult.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Stop, I already was never going to watch it. You didn't need to give me more reasons.
Eli Roth confirms that generative AI was used in his new horror film ‘ICE CREAM MAN’. “It was an opportunity where technology and creativity came together to help bring my vision for the film to life.” (Source: www.polygon.com/eli-roth-ice...)
Ok, last step: teach the dog to read and we are SORTED.
As THE ONLY ONE inches sloooowly towards a release, here's a little proof that it exists. It was very exciting to be there for the very first shot!
At last – some real ideas about how to bring dignity, kindness and respect back to parliament:
Chlöe Swarbrick and NZ Greens with one of the most important messages for the public to note ahead of the upcoming election in Aotearoa.
Has any NZ Prime Minister had to backpedal / apologise / clarify as much as Luxon regularly does? After three years in the job?
Oh wut, they throw Chloe out of parliament but Peters can still be openly racist and that's alright? Says it all.
Dropper, on film! Always nice having my brother up here playing a show, a great excuse to break out the good stuff to photograph it. First time shooting a gig in color! I think it worked out well. 🎞️:Kodak "Ektacolor pro" (portra) 800 📷:Pentax MX #photography #filmphotography
Hey Kiwis! I'll be at Little Unity in Auckland next Saturday so please drop by and I'll scribble on your books! 😻🔎✏️
I get why courting a right-wing customer base seems appealing, they're bad with money and really fucking stupid
Not gonna lie, I remain delighted that Bluesky management hates that the platform was immediately co-opted by artists and queers.
The media catches on. #nzpol “With Winston Peters able to remove Mr Luxon from his job at any time, but Mr Luxon having proven himself unable or unwilling to assert authority in the other direction, the charade is unveiled: it is Mr Peters who is the de facto prime minister and controls the govt”
Editorial: Luxon’s impotence makes him prime minister in name only
Winston Peters can remove Christopher Luxon whenever he wants, but it seems it’s not the other way round.

Just read "Amelia Shadows and the New Head Ghost" by @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social and loved it! I may be decades older than the target audience, but anyone who appreciates comics will be taken by his design sense and visual storytelling skills. Now I've got to find the rest of the series!
"Hey Winston I was just wondering if I could have quick word about the racist comments?" "No" "Ok sorry"
David Lynch’s Dune is so good! One of the best looking sci-fi movies of all time.
Lawrence Xu-Nan isn't a foreigner, Chris, he's a New Zealander ... but, yeah, thanks for speaking up: he must go.
Chris Hipkins says it is untenable for Winston Peters to remain as foreign affairs minister while attacking foreigners.
Just a reminder at how poorly served farmers are by agribusiness lobby groups, like Fed Farmers, which vociferously oppose action on climate change, leaving ordinary farmers to deal with the climate disruption. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
