While the news of the world is stressing everybody out, i want you to know that it’s major news in New Zealand that some passengers were not told their baggage would arrive late on a domestic flight. They had to wait half an hour for an announcement and it caused the passengers distress. https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/02/18/jetstar-passengers-luggage-left-behind-on-dunedin-flight/

This is kind of crazy. The service station near my house in New Zealand is stocked as if it were in Uruguay.

Words to live by.

Making it a holiday to celebrate the birthday of the head of state is some authoritarian bullshit. And that is as much true of the proposal to do it in the US as the already existing holidays for the king’s birthday in commonwealth countries. View quoted note →

There’s a documentary about Twitter coming out on CNN next month. No idea if it’ll be any good but I made the potentially questionable decision to be interviewed for it. https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/elon-musk-twitter-takeover-cnn-watch/

There’s a new documentary about the history of Twitter coming out next month on CNN. I they tell the story in a way that talks about how it was co-created with the community of users instead of some reality tv soap opera drama. #twitter #BreakingTheBird #cnn

Seems Google maps can’t decide the name.

This post kicked off a whole bunch of trolls posting homophobic and antisemitic replies… I don’t quite get it… are people trying to show social media is unhealthy in schools by posting writing toxic replies to the post? Or saying… what exactly… That people should engage in censorious practices by saying things which would most likely be censored… dunno… it’s confusing. View quoted note →

Watching the #SuperBowl in New Zealand means you don’t get the cool ads. I feel like I’m missing a lot of the show. Random kiwi ads for cars and Burger King. Meh.

The conflict in Eastern Congo is a human rights disaster that nobody’s paying attention to despite it going on for years. View quoted note →

New study shows that restricting kids access to social media in school has no impact on their mental health or wellbeing. This doesn’t help kids. It’s just yet another moral panic. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(25)00003-1/fulltext

Last month I sat down with @npub15vzu...k4um and talked about Nostr and the movement for freedom tech. While Robert and I definitely have different takes on politics I found the discussion really engaging and he’s a great interviewer. Hopefully it’ll help #grownostr.

Warp.dev is a pretty nifty terminal, but their paid plans are a joke. If you pay them $18 a month, they’ll let you do all of 1000 AI queries per month. What the hell… Is there an open source alternative terminal that’s any good? Honestly mostly i like the AI integration, being able to manage the terminal with my mouse, having a nice copy and paste of the most recent command, plus the ability to send it to the AI to figure out the response. I know Warp does 10,000 other things, but it’s not something i use.
