@Opdiner @russellcrowe I first met Roger at Russ' Venue, both embarking on our first proper public music things. His remarkably maintained John Taylor quiff, dry sarcastic-y wit... one cool cat from the get go. He moved up from Whakatane in a staggered exodus along with Harold and Tony De Read.

[Simon Grigg @Opdiner]

@russellcrowe Hey, Russell, I'm not sure how to contact you these days, but I thought you'd like to know that Roger Perry, that young DJ from Whakatane you discovered and mentored at The Venue, passed away yesterday. Heartbroken.

Ah yes, the golden highway to Peter Thiel's golf course. They are kicking a lot of families off their rural land to build this, I know of at least one who aren't going anywhere and will have to be forcibly removed.

The party of fiscal discipline is spending $3.8b on a 26km stretch of road. This will be 7-10 mins faster than the current road, which does not cost $3.8b because it already exists. I live in Whangarei and I would like this project to be shelved. Fast track our goddam hospital.

Summit ((myself and Ross Cunningham) have a new thing just up on bandcamp. Two soundtracks for that moment when something's just not quite right.

My X/Twitter 'Following' timeline has suddenly become pretty much like the 'For You' one - made up 70% of strangers I have never followed who have in no way interacted with people I'm connected to. The algorithm is doing a fairly good job of emulating my feed, but its dodgy af.

@Lejf_Lejf @Becs I remember my local friends (and ours) 3-digit rural phone numbers from when I was 12-15 years old, growing up in Taupaki out between Kumeu and Waitakere in West Auckland..

GOOD NEWS: A record-breaking 52,019 puffins have been counted on Skomer Island off the Welsh coast, smashing last year’s all-time record of 43,626!

Massive geopolitical shift. Pope Leo officially equates artificial intelligence with the catastrophic threat of nuclear weapons.

He demands immediate global disarmament to stop tech elites from using AI as an instrument of absolute domination & death.
