Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

Benefit rules confuse: Employed partner given job search obligations There are limits on how much a household can earn and still remain eligible for benefits. When someone is on JobSeeker, household income over $160 a week before tax affects eligibility.

Benefits shouldn't be tied to spouses/partners.
A benefit application should be treated as individual.
Solo parents should receive more, they are supporting families. Archaic rules that NZ still lives by. #nzpol

As a Samoan I find this pretty....💩

We have a saying about leadership and Matai titles.

"O le ala i le pule o le tautua" — “The path to leadership is through service.”

This guy has zero clues about leadership 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾

Into the Afterlands : Dunedin Fringe Festival Fire shines, and so does grief: photography, poetry, and sculpture take you into the 'afterlands' of a devastating house fire.

...so if anyone in Dunedin is curious, my wife is putting on an exhibition centred around the aftermath of our house fire as part of #dunedinfringe. It's at 63 Hanover Street and it's on until the 21st

Panel 1: Blue Guy and Pink Guy.
Pink Guy: Ai will change EVERYTHING. Just give me a Shitload of money
Blue Guy: okey

Panel 2: Blue Guy hands over a massive stack of cash and says “How will it change everything?”

Panel 3: Pink Guy is running away as fast as he can with the money. He says “It’s a secret”

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.

Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

A wise looking dude in I guess regency garb. Text reads: There's eleven types of people in this world. Those who understand Roman numerals and those who do not.
