NEW: Chris Bishop used housing money to fund a bridge in his electorate his own Govt had killed off.
Officials were against the move and Labour say he shouldn’t have been anywhere near the decision.

This is grimly amusing. Bishop couldn't fulfil a campaign promise because of Simeon Brown's footpath fatwa, so he had to raid a Kāinga Ora fund. Maybe running transport policy as a culture war was a stupid and destructive thing to do in the first place, eh.

Question prompted at a business event which I may not get a chance to ask, so Bluesky, you’re up:
Are AI “agents” functionally just chatbots that are allowed to initiate actions? Is that the core of what Microsoft etc have been plowing money into for the past year?

In policy terms it’s an interestingly evil trajectory going from “we will stamp out antisemitism” to “we will confiscate jewellery off refugees”

This is, quite literally, the concluding chapter from years of vice signaling as politics. There is no better evidence for how putting Trump, a charlatan and moral void, at the center of our politics for a decade has resulted in the literal rotting of the soul and character this nation.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

"Alexa," He says into the void where once his friendships were. "Remind me... remind me that I'm a winner?"
The pause is brief but brutal, a gasp of silence as his whole self-worth teeters.
"You are so goated." She replies.
"I am. I am goated, ain't I?"
This time there is no answer. There never is.

"Hell yeah, I'm goated and based" I tell myself as I sit alone in a room talking to my imaginary friend. In another life and time, maybe I'd have been sat with my friends playing split screen and laughing with them, forming memories and bonds.

You can post in local Facebook groups about a toddler-sized hole in a park fence at the top of a sheer cliff, and 2/3rds of the reactions will be laugh emoji. It’s a sociopathy machine

The Auckland isthmus “heritage zone” problem explained:
one of my "counterintuitive facts that explains everything" facts is that without new construction cities get less dense as they gentrify, bc wealthier households have fewer kids and fewer people per bedroom
Almost everywhere in the City of Toronto has fewer people that it did 50 years ago

Amazing, they built a blasphemy machine.
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

The conservative minority on Wellington City Council never had the votes to kill the Golden Mile, so instead they played for time, demanding more reviews and consultation to delay it until a conservative won the mayoralty. Andrew Little has played right into their hands.
