OMFG. The Nat MPs clearly do not have confidence in Luxon. Yet they cannot organise a leadership change. As the old saying goes, if you can’t organise a piss up in a brewery it’s no wonder you’ve made a mess of the economy.

We are perfectly happy with mediocrity. In fact, we celebrate it. Doing something amazing in an absence of resources is part of our culture.

The part that was supposed to be safe
AI just outperformed law professors at the hardest part of the job The bar exam results stopped surprising people a while ago. What happened this week is different.

I pretty annoyed about the Manage My Health hack. The people saying that boomers can't cope with MFA are simply misunderstanding the problem. Vital online services need to be very secure. More secure than KFC.

Sister Alice Sinnott was probably the very first person to help me question my fundamentalist childhood and read the bible critically. I was in her Stage I Old Testament paper in 1992. She passed away last week and I think she was pretty spesh.

Manage my health has made it as stupid as possible to find out if my data has been stolen. 1. You can’t check it in the app. The app doesn’t work at the moment so you have to use the browser. 2. It’s as slow AF 3. I have to change my password. (See 2). 1/n

I suggest the following question: "Is it true that you only say that an outlet is 'fake news' when the report asks a question about the Epstein Files? And if not, why not?" Journalists need to coordinate their questioning and trap him.

If you're at work, and there's a shared drive (Google Shared Drive or Sharepoint or whatever...), DON'T MAKE EMPTY FOLDERS! It's organisational pageantry. You're not actually tidy. You're just saying: "If I had done my job, this is where I would store it..."
