Now it's using the cash pile to buy foreign currency assets - mostly foreign govt bonds. IE Our Govt is using tens of billions in spare cash to help the US, UK, Japan, Australia etc pay for their infrastructure and wars, rather than building houses and hospitals here. 2/2

The fair play norm has broken down at the World Cup on several occasions. Just now, New Zealand had a player down while Egypt had the ball deep in its own end. Even though NZ players were pointing at their injured teammate, Egypt pressed ahead and Mo Saleh scored.

If the main premise of the argument is the environmental impact is lessened because you are stopping the same centre being constructed in China where it will rely on coal, then it falls apart when you know new data centres in China aren't relying on coal: www.scmp.com/economy/chin...

Best worst RNZ app notification yet! A push alert telling you nothing linked to an article that tells you nothing further. A vague description pushed out as a Breaking News alert.

I made a zine. Ten years since Prince passed. Such an incredible artist. This is a bunch of articles about him, commissioned by the talented Jessica Hopper back when she was editor of MTV News website in 2016. Grab a copy from Flying Out or Real Groovy.

My usual Anzac Day post. George was Ngāi Tahu.

My great-grandfather, George "Sonny" Skerrett, Gallipoli survivor, interviewed for the occasion of his 100th birthday in 1992: "Ashore, it was frightful. Terrible.... The Turks applied for the armistice to bury the dead. I went out with four doctors, couldn't do much for them, just bandage them. There were 4000 Turks buried that day, I never saw anything like it in all my life. I cried all day, all afternoon, I couldn't stop. Six of my mates, we did everything together, swum and played tennis, they were all out there dead. I looked for them but never found them. Some of the bodies had been lying out there for over a month, and they just fell to pieces in the 100 degree heat.... We were shelled continuously, shrapnel shells falling on both sides. Why I never got hit I'll never know. I still remember the beach. There were a couple of thousand men lying there in all shapes and sizes and forms, all wounded and sick.... We could only treat a certain number of them. The badly wounded, they'd say, you go and find someone else to look after, and they just lay there and died.... I still think about Gallipoli quite a bit. It accomplished nothing.... War's terrible, everybody loses. The only ones who win are the people who make the bombs and shells and the bullets."

Just discovered our old tablet can stream music to multiple Bluetooth speakers *of different types* natively. Even lets you adjust volume independently. Just there in the settings. Surely this can't work well?!

I use MS too, but the forecast for Northcote is *still* for a mainly fine day - it isn't raining now, but it is, and then we're due .2 and .4 at 9 and 10 but the radar makes a mockery of that. Who do you use?

This is AI propaganda targeting Trump ... I'm not a big fan of either, so I recommend it with some reluctance - but it is very funny. youtu.be/JbgO50Ek6_g?...

Two things that couldn't be further apart. Today's cartoon by Jorge Gonzalez. More cartoons: www.cartoonmovement.com #pope #Trump #war #peace

Cartoon with two panels. In the first panel, we see the pope wearing a mitre, with a cross in the background. In the second panel, we see the same shape upside down, forming Donald Trump with his mouth a large beak that is open. The cross in the background is also upside down, now being a missile that is falling towards the ground.

Can we just pause for a fucking minute and imagine what the world would do and how we would react if Joseph Robinette Biden or Barack Hussein Obama lied about negotiating with a nation its administration illegally attacked? We have to stop normalizing how much of a fucking liar Trump is.
