Headline should be "Tax is good, it pays for things" It's such an easy win for the opposition to highlight why we pay tax, and what it pays for. Things like hospitals, schools and roads Labour choose to miss an open goal and meekly concede to the narrative🤦🏻‍♂️ #nzpol

text that says "If I swing my sword, I probably wanna hit an enemy." then the image is of the player character riding in a coffin down a ramp of some kind, and the text is "and if i ride in a coffin, I probably wanna change my gender." This is a reference to the Dark Souls 2 coffin that will change your gender if you ride in it.

Of course people aren't having kids!! They aren't even sure they'll be able to afford rent, power and groceries for themselves, let alone support a family. And god forbid they don't already own a house, because there's basically zero chance if they have kids first.

I'm speaking at GCAP this year! Come see me at 11am on day 3 to learn a bit about audio DSP and how it works and how to actually figure out if an effect is "too expensive" to run.

A photo of me! I look gorgeous, though a little weird because I am mid-speech. It says "I AM SPEAKING AT GCAP, MELBOURNE", which pretty much sums it up.
