Hard to overstate how easy I'd find this... particularly if we could just fall back on 'old Google search tool'. Never have I so wanted a retcon as I have with new Google search.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Oh boy this sucks so hard. My #2 and #3 are already in Europe because there really is nothing for them here. #1 and her husband likely to leave as well. When people (NZActF) prattle on about young people leaving, could just look at this one stat and see the reason.

Wheeliebot has always been one of my favorites. There are so many to choose from, and there's always the question of what are we grading? art? humour? creativity? I want one NOW? But for me Wheeliebot always hit all of the sweet spots.

563) Wheeliebot. If you're struggling to move your heavy wheelie bin, substitute it for this self-propelled version! Compatible with all vehicle loading mechanisms and has a changeable exterior to match the required colours of your local authority. #SmallRobotsRemastered

The duck vs cat discourse once again doesn't clear the bar of 'Americans aware that other countries have different needs and rules'

Oh this feels super useful

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

I am now officially on board the Go See #TheOdyssy train. Saw it last night in IMAX. Still processing it. Amazing piece of film, culture, and conversation. And just a hell of a ride.

Okay, bskymind, what's the over under today on whether or not Mitch McConnell is alive and compos mentis?

I really need cdramas to stop doing AI slop intros, please.

Alex Jones calling for Trump's impeachment. Lol. LOL. I mean... welcome to the resistance?

I feel like we've reached the point where 'to google' as a verb needs to be deprecated since when you use google to find anything is increasingly an exercise in frustration and futility.

Impossible to put into words how useless Gmail search is. No wait, these guys did it!

So last night DrC and I watched a podcast about why we haven't seen the oil shock originally anticipated, and man it was a hell of a ride. I have so many questions and all of them should probably be asked in Chinese.

They are going after abortion.

Roderick Mulgan - a Free Speech Union board member who helped lobby Health Minister Simeon Brown over proposed changes to how doctors are regulated - is one of four new Medical Council members appointed by Brown last week.

these articles (and there will be many more) kinda need a reminder that Prime Ministers Seymour and Peters locked Luxon in a room for the last two weeks of October 2023 and made him catch cocktail sausages in his mouth while they told him what his policies would be www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

National promises to extend paid parental leave from 26 weeks to 30, if re-elected

National has pledged to extend paid parental leave from 26 weeks to 30, if re-elected.

Luxon sees what I'm seeing from my second row seat which is that the non-incrementalism of Opportunity policy proposals sits better in the left of centre block than the right. I'm not saying lefties. I am saying they are not pro-billionaire so they can't partner with National.

Christopher Luxon says ruling out working with Opportunity Party 'not a surprise'

Christopher Luxon says nobody should be surprised by his call to rule out working with the Opportunity Party - despite the new position being revealed without notice at the very end of a media confere...

The more I think about the more I recommend that you start singing a song everyone knows. Bohemian Rhapsody comes to mind but even twinkle twinkle would do. Wheels on the bus would be particularly amusing tbf

There is really nothing quite like thepotroast and Monterey jack on san Francisco sour samples my used to make for school lunch. The cheese was next level goey and tangy and perfect.

People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

I don't like anything about Graham and this feels nuts. Wtaf.

Trump takes issue with the Lindsey Graham eulogy he's reading: "Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second."

I just saw a reel of a young man doing a thing called “What’s on Grandpa’s Turntable” - & he reviewed the album the Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails. I’m just going to lay here and turn into dust now.

Live? NZ National Party? Isn't that an oxymoron?

It's safe to assume that all major LLMs are scraping Bluesky data to train future models. As an open protocol, Bluesky is one of the few sources of fresh human-generated content that anybody can gobble up. So all this is probably going in the models. There are submarines in the Great Lakes.

I wonder who decided that it's up to 29 and then after that 30+. Why not 80. 99+ something else? Why 30? What's the logic?

This is taking me OUT!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Final trailer for ‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ has been released. In theaters August 28. #CoyoteVsAcme

If you're picking up #TheEastPalace, this is a cheat sheet you could use because Netflix just put these terms into the sub as-is. 🧵 In my previous thread about mudang, I mentioned the umbrella term on Korean spirit called Gwi-shin. Literally just translates to ghost/spirit. This #kdrama split them

Dropped headfirst into #TheEastPalace last night, thinking I'd watch an ep or 2. Nek minute I'm dragging myself away at ep 5. I'm not a horror/ghost person usually, but this is SUCHa good vehicle.

Yesterday, Qīulae and our Wellington North candidate Jessica Hammond stood alongside the LegaSea team on the steps of Parliament. Opportunity supports ecosystem-based fisheries management, better science, greater transparency and a precautionary approach where uncertainty exists.
