CTO Rascal. Building an animated story platform for the next generation of readers.

The consistent falling of literacy rates is the wheel that has been squeaking for over 10 years now. Reading has to be FUN it's why we started Rascal.

We are fighting to create an experience where the outcome is a love for stories, and reading.

@kristerpersson @andrewcarleton7 There is no rule about "contested space or "who moved first". The lunging off his feet challenge makes no contact with the ball and only takes out the opponent in possession of the ball. It's a foul.

The Ref in the Argentina vs Austria pauses the game in 63' minute because ball hit a player's balls and make Argentina retake their throw. It's obvious the bias against NZ that occurred yesterday. Shame on you @FIFAcom.

Was not expecting to write the word "ballsack" during the World Cup.

Missing the blatant foul where Ben Old got tripped and stepped on in the building up to Egypt's second goal was terrible referring.

The problem with a wealth tax is it always imposes that you give up some ownership (and control) of the asset, thus ensuring that less competent people can gain control and eventually bring about mediocrity ruining future uplift.

Who is John Gault?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.

We need a wealth tax.

@SonofOmahu @NZStuff They dont realise that the story is "why was there no story?". I dont care about the journalist. It's THE double standard.

@derpychick3n @MrBeast 67.5 is half of the 135 million. As would be expected from a 50/50. They would not die because they would have 50% ... Its those with cognitive ability that pick red and doom the babies that pick blue.

@Han_Moe_Htet @derpychick3n @MrBeast What are you on about? picking red dooms the incapable.
A 1 year old does not know, and the next 1 year if it is done again (shockingly) they still won't know.

@dalewalters537 @cjsbishop @franks_lawyer We pay more in real terms. About 80% more after accounting for inflation.

Why is Wellington Airport in the kids area playing PBS? Not any of the shows we have created in NZ for kids. We are missing a chance to promote kiwi content.

@olpafc_ Should be a single shot like in penalty shoot outs. Goal kick restart.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

@HenryBushnell @TheAthleticFC This is terrible! They already have rules that are actually based on the weather for safety - advertising is going to run rampant this world cup.

@edzitron Im convinced its being caused by the tech slowdown in breaking into new markets. The easy wins have fallen. AI is the last hope for breaking markets again and they are forcing it to keep the party going. Meanwhile VCs have turned to shotgun funding viral productless founders.

[David Sowry @_sowry_]

@Lachlan_Mc @ZacksJerryRig This is the play. Look at what is completed and shop around. At least it'll force them to bid for completion. Tighten up feedback loops to be more incremental so its easier to see if budget is going sideways and also easier to take the project elsewhere.

[David Sowry @_sowry_]

@SawyerMerritt That's a pretty decent correction

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Parents: Do not give your children any AI companions or AI enhanced toys. With social media 15 years ago, we can say we didn't know.

With AI, we can already see some of the harms, such as suicide and psychosis. Other harms will surface years from now.
