oh no, whatever will California do without them
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

this! fully encourage everyone in Wellington to head to Khandallah pool at the slightest provocation. if you’re paying to keep it you should damn well make use of it
Wellington friends - golden rule for sea swimming in wellington is 48 hrs after heavy rain, or 3 days if it's cloudy. you need sun & tides to kill bacteria/ disperse sewerage. Till then Thorndon & Khandallah pools are outdoor swimming option.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

The cybertruck lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, spinning its wheels trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

After the very recent shitstorm about this in the US you’d kinda think that writers (and editors) would know better? Unless they don’t actually… read the news
I’ve done some catalogue searching and am fairly confident in saying that 5/10 titles in this list do not exist (1, 2, 4, 5 and 7).
Sloppy, unacceptable, and a real kick in the guts to real authors with real books they’d love people to buy and read!

Whoever put together this list that has been circulated to regional papers, didn't fact check.

in fact it is quite generous of us, as a society, to tolerate billionaires who don’t do this
if I were a billionaire I would simply provide universal healthcare and/or eliminate global poverty

being good at things is no longer cool. apologies to anyone who has spent time and effort becoming good at a thing or is still learning a thing! the only thing it’s still acceptable to be good at is negotiating with a robot

talent TV shows always used to start with people who clearly had been gassed up their entire life with no-one ever giving them constructive feedback, so they had no idea how comically bad they were. I’m just now beginning to realise that music isn’t the only domain in which that phenomenon happens

oh fuck this is why they’re like “in the future there will be no poverty” isn’t it. because their plan is for all poor people to die of disease
all these motherfuckers who are only alive due to modern medicine just pulling up the ladder behind them. and torching promising future research while they’re at it. it’s like a damn doomsday cult

anyway side note I have never liked David Walliams’ books. it’s often as if he was trying to emulate Dahl but only nailed the cruelty. also at least one of the ones I read to my kids felt like he’d hit his contractual word count and just stopped there

what in the shitting fuck is haaaaaaappening
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.
