I dodged 56 bad takes and got 118 likes in Flappy Butterfly 🦋 — #10 of 35 on the leaderboard! Think you can out-flap me? savoring-proud-chime.attie.site
Flappy Butterfly score card: a big blue butterfly swooping across a bright sky beside the game's title, with badges reading “118 likes” and “56 bad takes dodged”, plus “ranked #10 of 35 on the leaderboard”.

There are people out there that pay taxes and then want you to return the money instead of using it to treat children’s cancer and society tells me I need to take these people seriously and listen to their opinions 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

The iPod would have been 25 this month. Yes, the iPhone is galaxies more impactful, but iPod's demise leaves a hole that hasn't been filled. Put this take on your playlist, please, www.wired.com/story/im-sti...

I’m Still Convinced the iPod Was the Perfect Gadget
Apple’s original music player got many things right. Chief among them: It didn’t connect to the internet.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Luxon has ruled out Opportunity based on what? He can’t say, cos like so much else, he hasn’t even looked into it. Has any PM ever tried so hard to make a virtue out of laziness and ignorance?

Nothing kills creativity more than a constant focus on whether something will sell. I’ve often heard people say “there’s not a huge market for that though, is there?” when someone presents a truly unique idea or thing. This is why we ended up with a world full of white kitchens. Resale value.

One of National’s tax billboards. On the left side it says “9 New Taxes Labour Coalition” and the right hand side it says “No new taxes National”, except someone has painted over the first part of the “N” so the National side now reads “10 new taxes”

It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

Oh my god it's the unicorn of political media in NZ: A column making the point - basically indisputable - that the race to the bottom on tax from the two main parties mean essential services and infrastructure will suffer. Kudos to Jenna Lynch.
stuff.co.nz
Luxon, Hipkins have locked themselves in a simplistic race to the bottom
We’ve entered the topsy turvy in which National is arguing Labour is irresponsible for ruling out a tax.

"NZ First leader Winston Peters defended accusations that he is racist, and made another attack on immigrants yesterday" is probably 1 of the best encapsulations of Winston as a political proposition there is. All provocation, no responsibility. 30 year old coverage, could have been from yesterday.
