In riccarton Mall for the first time in years. Sweet station is gone. A generation of children is being raised without ever tasting aniseed balls.
I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore.

Looking at a window at the endless stream of SUVs while feeling guilty about my coffee in a disposable cup.
From now on, when I watch the Terminator, I'm with the machines.

New Zealand is going through tough times, and everyone has to accept there will be cuts. Effectively pay cuts for teachers and health care workers, inflation cutting the living standards of the poor, tax cuts for the rich and for landlords. Sharing the pain.

Christchurch council elections. Apparently the biggest issue facing the city is the difficulty people have getting their SUVs over speed humps.

Reasons to use AI: Google summary for Rugby Championship fixtures gives you a list of fixtures instead of having to navigate the god-awful official site that only shows one round at a time. There's only four teams and 12 games. You don't need six pages for that

Seems to me that since the 80s our economy has been managed like a business whose owners are preparing to sell. Cutting costs, selling assets and delaying maintenance to make the books look good. But after 40 years the rot is rendering it worthless.

@clrenney.bsky.social @bernardchickey.bsky.social how much of our current slowdown is due to the government contracting the economy after it was elected? How long can the government blame the conditions they inherited without anyone mentioning this? Is 18 months just too long for anyone to remember?

@bernardchickey.bsky.social has anyone looked into just how much benefit we get from tourism? We seem to spend an awful lot to generate low skill, low paid jobs while degrading our environment. How is this improving productivity and wage levels? Is it just a way to subsidize middle class holidays?
