Congratulations to the new gvt and @NicolaWillisMP for cutting the funding to build a better platform for #softwareengineers interns in Aotearoa with @summeroftech, @ITP_nz and @MBIEgovtnz. That extra money you took back will be well spent to renaming public services.

"The Kubrick Stare" is one of director Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques. A method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that they are at the peak of their derangement
