#BHN for context, if Nick Mowbray had his wealth in a savings scheme at 3.95% interest, that would earn him…literally doing nothing…over $2m a day from interest alone…so I find it difficult to feel sorry for the wealthy being asked to more in tax #nzpol #nzpolitics

Yeah it’s a great idea.

One thing I love is how basically every study says that students do better in school with less homework and later start times and workers do better with more vacation days and shorter shifts, but we do the exact opposite in this country because Puritanical feelings apparently beat facts.

i think if you're earning 200k or over and you're complaining that the greens tax policy is gonna break the bank, that's a skill issue on your part

There is a very specific female fatigue that comes from knowing exactly what is happening, explaining exactly what is happening, being told you are overreacting, and then watching exactly what is happening happen with excellent punctuality.

Love to see ppl suggesting KiwiSaver replace our Superannuation. You know who this disadvantages? Anyone who is an unpaid caregiver - so primarily women.

@CGDay21 Enjoy! My mum sent me the same cake for my birthday last week - keeps reasonably well in the fridge too.

i love when doctors say "avoid stress" like i can just unsubscribe from economy and become a decorative gargoyle.

The best response I’ve seen to AI anything has been, “why should i bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write”

Laughter is anti-inflammatory. Crying is regulating. Hugging is immunoprotective. Singing is vagal toning. Dancing is neurogenic.

Joy is a biological necessity.

I find having AI involved in a creative process is similar to having a roach in your food. You can remove it, but the gross feeling is still there and you probably don't want it anymore.

How I sleep after getting told I’ll be “left behind” if I don’t use AI

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

Just a friendly reminder that libraries are free.

Not “free trial” free.
Not “free with ads” free.
Not “free if you give us all of your data” free.

But free free.

[Victoria @vembx]

@whaeavee @SharonM88707096 That’s a decent rate!

[soup🍓 @thrluv]

"use ai or you'll get left behind" oh no that's okay you guys go on ahead i'll be back here with my reading comprehension & critical thinking skills

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

“You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.”

Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

People with chronic pain usually don’t mention it. So when someone actually says they’re hurting, it’s probably because the pain has gone far beyond what they can normally handle.

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

AI seems smart when you ask it about things you know nothing about, but once you start asking it about topics you are actually an expert in, you realize it is just commoditized, polished, and amplified mediocrity.

[Abeeha Tariq ✨ @AbeehaTariqArt]

No, we shouldn’t just accept AI because it’s here. We shouldn’t just embrace it because there’s no other options. Fuck that. Fight back and fight for better. Demand better of this world instead of succumbing to it.
