You left you the best bit out! 🤣

“The three men and their associate left the property, but not before Hoffman ran into his house, grabbed a spatula and hit Dell with it, as they were leaving.”

I mean, is Jalebi cake?

It’s like that old “what’s a sandwich” chart

I’m playing a real-life version of “Is it Cake?” with the new released food compliance exemption for all types of cake in Aotearoa NZ - the only class of food exempt!

How soft does a biscuit need to before it’s a cake?

When does banana bread become banana cake?

They can’t even be bothered announcing a new operation.

Southern Spear was announced in January

This is what some of the data looks like 😅 [skype logs]

Lots of valid "AI is shit" on takes on here but it's taken me maybe 20 minutes of no-code tweaking with AI to import the Epstein email dump into an Elasticsearch to the point where I can visualise a timeline based on a free text search of 1926 emails.

All emails with 'thiel' by year and sender 👀

Needed to say it's just ridiculous now how easy it is to just get shit done with AI. One-shotted it 😅

Found out why the Wellington Hospital has been so busy at night lately.

The only 24hr Afterhours Medical Centre in Wellington is shut due to staff shortages. NZ’s health system is borked!

Just reading through the full report, strange the media aren’t following up the fact that the IPCA were alerted in 2018 and just brush it off!

Waiting in a carpark to do an off-the-back-of-a-truck illicit produce swap for a ticket to #Kawaiicon

Gotta do what ya gotta do when gardening is illegal in New Zealand 😂

Will be interesting to see how we are tracking in 2060, given this chart was made about 40 years ago 😅

oh I take that back, I didn't realise it was actually that pessimistic!

If you do anything after reading this thread, just read that article!

So like a white person proudly declaring that they don’t see colour, today ACT is claiming to have removed politics from history.

Different story in Wellington!

NZ Govt Report: We’re on track to meet out emission targets! 🎯

Chart in said report: *We’ll be 85Mt off our Paris Agreement targets

NZ Govt: No, not *that* target - the new target we just made up!

The rust WASM thing build by bots is coming along. I haven't even looked at a line of code yet.

@clango.ghost.boo , looks like it was only 9 seconds after posting before you got the !takedown label applied so very unlikely a human involved.
October 7, 2025 at 8:27 AM
Yep, looks like that post is labelled with `!takedown`. So is not served by the BlueSky AppView but still exists.

Other app such as Clearsky can ignore the label and show it. I guess that's why it's called Clearsky!

So yeah, no shadow banning. This is just how moderation works on ATproto.

You mean this one?

My tuahine (sister) on what it’s like to run and manage Māori land #NZPol

It’s actually 12k cases but they’re only getting through 2.8k a year and 5k cases a year are added.

At that rate - if they processed FIFO* - it would take 4.2 years before they would get to an application submitted today.

Percentage stacked graphs better for comparison IMHO 👇
