It happens 100% of the time 🙄. If they can tell I visited the page they can also tell if I purchased the damn item already, surely.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Smells like a classic “let’s get ahead of this” PR move

So many levels of awful in this pic… that she had a photo taken with Noem at all, that she actually snuggled the woman, and that she happily posted it. Multitudes of purposely awfully decisions.

Didn’t think Hinge was the place for squirrelly words. Feeld, though.

You have to share now.

Just realised (duh) that the Chinese calendar gives us all a gift in the year we turn 60 - I was born a Fire Horse and this coming year is a Fire Horse year.

Greens go face-to-face against the outrage-generating machine The Green Party hopes an in-person campaign push will appeal to voters who, like party leadership, have seen new fears realised online

“We absolutely, genuinely would like to work across party to address the core issue of tech billionaires not obeying New Zealand laws, not paying their fair share of tax, hosting harmful digital content on their platforms, not being transparent with how their algorithms work.” - Marama D

'Evil will come to you': Woman loses life savings to deepfake Luxon crypto scam Scammers sent software giving them remote access to victim's device and bank account.

Anyone know how to find a paywall swerve for an OLD NZ Herald story? I really need to send this to Dad, but I don't have an account and neither does he.

(ps. yes, he is being scammed currently)

Continually horrified by the power wielded by men with such shockingly fragile egos and zero sense of self.
