Would someone give @nedboulting.bsky.social a bucket hat before he completely burns up!

Ned Boulting sitting with David Millar at a local cafe and absolutely beaming aka sunburnt!

seek.com looking at my profile and using AI to answer the most asinine question.

Screenshot from seek.com where they're asking "want better job recommendations" (and alongside that now ubiquitous icon for AI that looks like a 4 sided star) and then "what compensation range are you targeting" with boxes you can select showing ranges of pay from $65k and up. In grey text below it also says "AI-generated job suggestions are based on the information you've provided and may no reflect relevant roles". And there is no option to just say "FUCK AI".

Stuff camera person getting pelted with a fine mist of ... poo.

Live view of Wellington south coast during the high wind and swells. Prominent in the pic is a sign saying "untreated wastewater".

Stupid dickheads parading with evil fuckwits.

Defence minister Chris Penk in a photo op with Kegsbreath (Hegseth, ya know, ex Fox News presenter who is now murdering anyone who doesn't believe in his one true imaginary voice from the sky.

Former defence minister Judith Collins posing with former DHS head Kristi Noem (whom she called "her friend") who casually shot her dog and just as casually posed with deportees and presided over a dept that killed and jailed US citizens for being ... brown.

Silver fern flag spotted on the side of the road at the #Giro a couple days ago. Nuzlind mentioned!

Someone standing at the side of the road with the silver fern flag as a rider from the Giro d'Italia goes past.

Some will be ending the day greetin' about the "hard, smooth, black, volcanic cobblestones".

Ned Boulting in Napoli talking about the final stretch of today's Giro stage where the race organisers decided to dice with the weather and have the riders ride over "hard smooth black volcanic cobblestones" to finish. It did not end well.

Our man in Singapore reporting live: "...and of course the solution to all our energy problems is ... solar!" Well that was a little unexpected. In other news the deputy PM of Nuzland tells us "Vote ACT for more racist bullshit!" #NZPol

PM Luxon crooning about his latest, ahem, victory in singing a deal Singapore to "secure" more fuel. He is standing in the sun on a deck and talking about a port where fuel will magic itself into existence ready to be shipped to Nuzland. Meanwhile over his right shoulder are solar panels which, reader, would be a better solution to our foreign energy dependence.

Dollar store Bruce Campbell.

Stephen Colbert dressed like a QVC presenter to hock The Late Show set accessories. He looks a little like Bruce Campbell in Burn Notice.

Banksy channeling Ghostbusters (wear hi viz to make it official).

Scene from Ghostbusters where they are wearing hi viz and dropping through a manhole cover to get a sample of slime.

"Muse - Uprising" playing in the background.

Screen capture from 1News with Davina Zimmer, journalist, standing in front of protesters with "Stop Wars, Free Palestine" banners.

Getting there - front page now reads... But the old heading still persists when you hit the link. Perhaps takes time for the CMS to update.

Article from RNZ with headline "critics fear revived minerals deal could open door to seabed mining" but when you click on the link the old heading still persists.

"Luxon laser focused" #NZPol

Brett@brettcd· Apr 15

Uh huh.

RNZ headline saying: "Why Kiwi-founded Allbirds' pivot to AI not as crazy as it sounds".

Brett@brettcd· Apr 15

"Green aims go out the window". Cue Abba "Money money money..."

Screenshot of a story headline from the NZHerald. The image is, I'm assuming a techbro (possibly one of the Allbirds, ahem, Newbirds AI founders) holding a shoe. The headline reads "Flipping the bird: Shares soar 700% as Allbirds pivots from shoes to AI chips". Sub header: "Green aims go out the window".

Us 24 hours ago...

View of the earth from Artemis Integrity with Cyclone Vaianu approaching Aotearoa / New Zealand.

Brett@brettcd· Apr 10

Here in Aotearoa / New Zealand our attention is also on Cyclone Vaianu which is expected to land in the next 24 hours.

Brett@brettcd· Apr 10

If I'm seeing this right (and compared with Himawari view) Cyclone Vaiano is in sight.

Artemis Integrity view of Earth with, possibly, Cyclone Vaiano in sight.

Thank fuck CEOs are being heard. Absolutely we need more of this. #NZPol

Headline from RNZ "We feel heard": CEOs give input on fuel rationing plans.

A jar of Nutella on a benchtop. Yep advertising works, even from deep space.

I suspect Pōneke will be like...

Live view of the moon and as per usual whenever there is a celestial event we have cloud here in Pōneke. Auroras? Cloud. Eclipses? Rain. First pass round the moon in over half a century? Sure, why not a little haze.

Brett@brettcd· Apr 6

"Tough for thee..." Yeah nothing like stating the obvious while you and your cabinet members smirk through this in luxury. #NZPol

NZHerald news article stating "Tough time for the country": Willis.

Too good and this brings back memories!

From the YouTube vid about "enshittificators" depicting the last scene where the "make it shitty" guy is in his car and it has just told him that "braking is now a premium feature" Source: https://youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?si=MvVlQVgqw172nw4-
