“There is a live question as to whether the National Party’s election campaign is, in itself, a misstep. For its dogged single-mindedness, the ‘no new taxes’ mantra is pure Simeon Brown. But is it really working?” New cartoon for Pattrick Smellie’s column on @businessdesknz.bsky.social #nzpol

Mossy grass in early evening shadow. It is surrounded by hedgerow which meets in tall trees on the horizon. The sky is light blue with wisps of clouds. The setting sun has left behind traces of red and pink.

Bob Larkin’s cover to 1980’s Crazy #60 featuring Spock & Kirk from Star Trek and, from The Muppets, the Pigs In Space. It’s a great tragedy that nobody in power saw this & thought, this is exactly the kind of movie we ought to be making.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system, so it seemed only right that I used a tiny 5" canvas for it! I originally wanted to paint the planet in 'real' colours, but that was just grey. This view caught my eye and looked so much better imo! 🤭 Sending you all love and clear skies💜💫 🧪🔭🐡

I quit drinking and it hasn’t changed my friend group at all. Still go to dive bars (Shirley Temple, please). But I feel for younger people. That’s a hard time of life to be the sober one. Doubt I could’ve done it then. My friends do love that they have a designated driver now.

Drinking less is becoming more common, and the social rules around sobriety are still catching up.
