Winston really can't understand that he doesn't deserve respect because he's nothing more than a grubby huckster with the gift for the gab, who's spent at least the last 30 years flogging imported second-hand controversy.
Noone cares you're on the Privy Council bro, you're not right or honourable.

Does anyone in Wellington actually think Te Ngākau civic square is "the heart of Wellington" or is that just a thing that the council and its employees believe?

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Of we're talking long term impacts then we also need to factor in the long term impacts of 250 years of foreign policy which has always favoured those interests over the lives and well being of the rest of the world

Amazing... AI in medical settings will literally kill us.
"we find that models progressively converge toward generic phenotypes regardless of the model architecture. Specifically, rare but critical findings...vanish from the synthetic content generated by AI models, while demographic representations skew heavily toward middle aged male phenotypes."
"AI is rapidly populating medical records with synthetic content, creating a feedback loop [that] drives a rapid erosion of pathological variability and diagnostic reliability...this renders AI generated documentation clinically useless after just two generations" www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

I don't want a high level of care.
I want cheap, reliable access to my prescription medicine, and a wide selection of painkillers and bandages.

Today from The Detail: As more and more discount chain pharmacies open, locally owned and operated chemists worry their customers won't get the high level of care that saves trips to GPs, and EDs.
