Colleagues, family, friends on #strike. No blockades, not a single threat of violence.
Unlike the crowd the government rushed to placate in April, and who still haven't claimed a lot of what was given. Because unlike unionised workers, lot of them are not tax compliant and don't play by the rules.

Apologies to some journalists, but anytime I see something like "Minister X secured an extra amount for this", I just keep thinking "you're not their PR, you can write that differently".

If there's going to be huge disruption when the public sector does only what it is contractually required to, doesn't that prove the point that the system needs to be improved? Nice of Chambers to make our point for us
The public expenditure minister has lashed out at trade unions over the commencement of industrial action.
Jack Chambers's comments come as more than 100,000 public sector workers have begun work to rule amid the dispute over pay and the cost of living jrnl.ie/7180333

So this has aged like milk. Well done Bokke. They've just got better and better as the series went on while the Kiwis have lost their way
This kind of feels like the changing of the guard at world number 1. SA aging out and looking devoid of ideas and Kiwis looking really sharp and hungry

Nods along in middle aged
The thing I fundamentally cannot grasp about AI -- and maybe it's just a symptom of being firmly Middle Aged -- is that it is simply irrelevant to my day to day life. How/why do people get addicted to it.
Now that everything is AI that works poorly, I've cut down on my phone use. It's great!

Ross going to Munster while Joey has returned to Leinster would be very surreal. Could they not have fitted this out 8 years ago, like?
Personally think Ross is a fine player and could do a great job for Munster.

The comments under this suggest our South African friends are embracing the outhalf culture wars. Imitation being the greatest form of flattery I guess 🤷♂️
Sacha Feinberg-Mgomezulu's drop off from 2025 to 2026 has been crazy. He was one of the best players in the world last year, and maybe the worst player on the field today for a second game in a row.
