Old mate here will never experience a gig (any gig, let alone a great one). He will never experience the joy of meeting someone who likes the same bands he does. He will never share an experience with another person. This is individualism taken to its most unedifying extreme

Who would’ve thought it? Build decent public transport and people use it.

You really would think that nations, and even cities for that matter, would rethink the temptation to flirt with far-right populist “reform” politicians selling “change” after watching the corrupt, fascist dumpster fire that is Donald Trump. Hurricanes are change. A flesh-eating disease is change.

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

Aotearoa NZ - a windswept, notoriously sunny, archipelago, surrounded by oceans and their tides, with volcanoes and mountains, rushing rivers, and rumbling geothermal landscapes. And a govt of fuckwits who insist on importing fossil fuels... 100% Pure Fuckwittery.

I wish the media would stop saying it’s the ministry’s error. Its crappy law rushed through by cruel bullies who have then made sure there aren’t enough people to do the work that’s needed it’s Upston et al screwing up peoples lives because they can.

All of the LLMs stole from me. Most of the big "A.i." billionaires are horrifying right wingers. Consumer-facing generative "A.i." "writing" and "art" tools deskill people, cheat kids out of real education, spread falsehoods and disinfo, and violate privacy. So no, I ain't using that shit.

This government is utterly incompetent. It’s not that they ignore consequences, they are so full of themselves they believe there can’t be any consequences. This might seem a weird rant, but saddling councils with $billion bills developers should be paying is crap. newsroom.co.nz/2026/08/14/h...

Hasty fast-track changes so councils can claim back infrastructure costs
Analysis: But there are 200-plus fast-track applications already lodged – their developers should also be asked to contribute more rather that lumping ratepayers with the cost, writes Jonathan Milne.

In the 2010s, we were told new tech would revolutionize transportation. As BMW faces backlash for sticking a Spider-Man ad on its center console, we can see what it really amounted to: cars that collect vast quantities of data on us and which automakers are desperate to use to push ads on us too.

BMW’s in-car Spider-Man ad is a warning sign
We were promised a transport revolution. Instead we got cars tracking us and serving us ads.

How is Chippy polling LOWER than Luxo from Marketing?! That should be against the laws of physics. Labour need to wake up and course correct if they don't want to hand this election to National. www.1news.co.nz/2026/08/12/p...
Luxon does, however, remain ahead of Labour’s Chris Hipkins, who is on 15%, also down one, in today's poll results.
