@nprofile1q... Was just reading this story online, aghast.

@nprofile1q... First RNZ thinks it's 2016, now this! - maybe there has been a time warp...

I'd forgotten DDG has an AI option (I switched to https://noai.duckduckgo.com a while back). I associate AI junk info with Google but clearly DDG can compete on the sloppery front!

I think Anzac Day was Monday-ised a few years back if the Day is Sat or Sun - commemorations on the day but Monday as a holiday.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... What I would say to you is, I don't need anyone in the media asking me ah, questions, that is the sort of you know what I'm saying, across all of that, that make me um, look, look an ill-informed fool

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Oh and so now we also won't be going on Breakfast TV because a reporter *asks questions*... https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360970077/christopher-luxon-pulls-out-weekly-slot-tvnzs-breakfast.

@nprofile1q... Looking forward to his continued advocacy for rail over road transport…

@nprofile1q... I don't know if you subscribe to The Nerve, but I found this article by Krisztián Marton (in my inbox today) quite moving.

@nprofile1q... I have been worrying about this issue for at least a month. Apparently if I take stuff out of my car's boot all will be well. 🙁

@nprofile1q... Or just Seymour trying to justify his Ministry of Regulation? that saviour of the 'people affected by edicts from Wellington'... (TIL it has a Red Tape Tipline - not to be confused with the equally vital, unlamented Road Cone Hotline.)

@nprofile1q... NZ govt, the whale falling to the surface of Magrathea. Rest of us, bowl of petunias.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

I've been watching more international news lately, so may have missed it - but has anyone from the govt been talking yet about implications of the crisis for our [edit: non-fuel] imports and exports?

Also, NZ may be at Phase 1 but a NI marina has advised boaties that their diesel supplier's main terminal is currently out of diesel, and they are unable to confirm their next delivery...

@nprofile1q... Look, what I'd say to you is, I know some people do it tough, I've heard of such things, I don't really know why, look at John Key he survived a childhood in a state house to really be able to, PM, Rugby World Cup, have you seen the photo when I was talking to Donald Trump, it's the happiest I've looked since, look, many people do feel better now, you know the people I talk to, people don't talk about polls, look I'll have something to say shortly, what I'd say to you is, soon, laser

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Agree re need for an upfront plan. And it needs to be ambitious rather than playing it ‘safe’ - the times we’re in don’t allow for more of the same, and people won’t thank them for timidity (see also Labour govts in UK and Aus)
