We are now past the point where corporate media commentary and embedded advertising are justifiable. This is going to get MUCH worse over 2026 unless there are consequences

Something I (unfortunately) need to teach product managers from certain career paths is that technology, no matter how complex, is automation; we start with people interacting. Who benefits? Who is harmed? What must be true for this to work as intended?

Well worth the rewatch. Seymour is from the mustelid family.
Mihingarangi Forbes is a national treasure & this is outstanding.
In light of the rampant abuse of power NZ is facing with this Govt dismantling laws that stop us being looted and taken over by big money it's probably a good time for people to check out or revisit this excellent investigative piece by Mihingarangi Forbes ... #NZPol

When the AP (of 'style guide' fame) headline grammar is so atrocious it distracts from the world's worst people being in pain.

This is a great example of how genAI steals from us all on multiple levels. It's stolen a promotional spot for real books and authors, it's stolen a job from an actual journalist who could have compiled this, it's stolen an opportunity for parents to be recommended good NZ books for their kids
#4 sounds like a lovely book but I didn't write it. Have had whānau up and down the country send me clippings lol
Whoever put together this list that has been circulated to regional papers, didn't fact check.

I don't think corruption gets enough follow up in New Zealand. The links (should I say "concidences") between donations to politicians/parties and laws passed. The NZF/Costello tobacco link. NZF and fishing industry. Property and virtually every RW party.

Hospitals asked to save $510 million despite $538 million going unspent
The "underspend" was due in part to unfilled vacancies and the fact Health NZ has yet to settle collective contract disputes.

It's 'White' debates 'Cloud dancer' vibes
We don’t need two politically aligned right wing psychopaths debating how many people should be burned on the pyres of austerity.
Can’t they just cover it off on their weekly conference call and leave us all the fuck alone.

The fact that we have super wealthy and extremely stupid people trying to set themselves up as new nobles has made historical nobility, which I only know from books, far more real to me. These people were not smart, they did not rule well, and rigid hierarchies of domination are very bad.
