I came across a Reddit post that described AI in a way I can’t stop thinking about: “AI allows the wealthy to access skills while stripping skilled people of their ability to access wealth.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen the purpose of AI captured so brutally and accurately.

Many Israeli citizens were killed by Israeli forces on October 7. 28 Apache helicopters used all their ammunition and had to be reloaded. Mainstream media will never tell you about the Hannibal Directive. Here’s our report with @pularjs on what really happened on Oct 7:

Completely unsurprised to see National pulling the 'in case of losing an election blame beneficiaries' lever.
Nats new welfare policy: - Randomly drug test beneficiaries - Reduce Jobseeker rates by between 12.9% and 3.6% for people unemployed for longer than two years - Double stand-down period for voluntary unemployment

My 9yo had a CT scan of his head today. The up side is, he could be the first member of our family to ever have the presence of a 🧠 medically confirmed. Here’s hoping for a positive result

Confirmed: my son has a 🧠 , and it’s normal. Has not been substantiated medically yet for any other family members so yeah 🏆

Finished a photo assignment for @NZGeographic today on our giant native dragonflies, and a Scottish odonatologist taught me the Scottish word for tickling a trout: Guddling. My Pembroke Welsh Cattle-dog’s kryptonite is a tummy tickle. I’m going to call it ‘Corgi Guddling’

Watching the leaders debate. It strikes me that it’s the first time I’ve heard Luxon stand up for anything or say something of substance, instead of fudging. Where has this Luxon been for the last 3 years? This is the problem isn’t it, it’s in well prepared fantasy promise month?

Just attended the Tawa Pride in Work awards dinner by Rotary. Awesome to see both Jill Day (Labour Party Pres & Community Board Chair) and Greg O’Connor (newly City Councillor and MP) attending instead of watching the Leaders Debate. That is community commitment

That’s about 20 Epstein whistleblowers who have now ‘died by suicide’. Absolutely nothing suspicious about that at all…
Former British banker and whistleblower Simon Andriesz, 57, has died by suicide. Andriesz had exposed U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s past links to Jeffrey Epstein, including evidence of a 2018 email exchange about a start-up business. Source: The Banker

I don’t give a fuck what Sam Altman declares. Why are we just letting these tech bros make these decisions for us? When did we all decide we don’t have any agency?
JUST IN: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declares the world needs to “accept some bad things happening” in exchange for the benefits of AI.

Taken me months to cancel my Stuff Post subscription. Still haven’t achieved it. I’m sick of this. And now a new page asking for my subscriber ID which isn’t available in any of my settings. This is next level nonsense

It took 1071 days to dig those bodies out of the rubble because Israel is banning bulldozers, trucks & excavators from entering Gaza, so people mostly have to dig with their bare hands! 8000 bodies under 44 billion pounds of rubble!
A mass funeral was held for 100 Palestinians whose bodies were recovered from the rubble of a Gaza residential building hit in an Israeli strike in October 2023

Just another example of why Wellington's Northern Suburbs are the best. On top of a bevy of pie awards, Nada Bakery now claim the crown of New Zealand's third best sausage roll 🏆 Why would you want to live literally anywhere else?

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026. At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day. It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime. Massacre at Minab: The School That Became a Grave dropsitenews.com/p/minab-sch… Please share this story with as many people as you can.
