Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

National sacks Lester levy, the guy it empowered like five minutes ago to supposedly fix the health system. This is absolute chaos, and the idea that outsourcing to private providers will solve it is magical thinking. newsroom.co.nz/2025/03/07/c...

Spent most of today driving myself insane learning about CoreWeave. This company is a fucking time bomb. They are burdened by $11 billion in debt on $2 billion of revenue - and they lost $800m. This company is a sickly dog with super-Ebola, and it may be the narrative twist that begins the collapse.

First pick of vintage 2025. A small parcel of Gewuerztraminer and some Chardonnay. The fruit is in excellent condition. It looks like it might be a low T.A high pH year in relation to the Brix.
