ANALYSIS: Government set to reduce Treaty in legislation to the lowest possible standard! What it means is, they couldn't pass their bill to kill the #TreatyOfWaitangi so now they'll weaken Treaty obligations across 23 laws to undermine it! #nzpol www.teaonews.co.nz/2026/04/20/a...

Chinese researchers have developed a new gravity-based detector that could be used to find #submarines and render the proposed #AUKUS submarine redundant. #auspol #nzpol #China #US #Israel #Peace not #War 🕊️ johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

Just a reminder that @maramadavidson.bsky.social tried to get this across the line here, but it got killed by NZF Party vote @greens.org.nz 💚 #nzpol

"Kuwait invokes ‘force majeure’ on its fuel, allowing it to forfeit delivery to NZ’s refined fuel suppliers" Neat development #nzpol

Luxon's repeated refusal to listen, take on advice & feedback & his 'complete lack of self-doubt' (per Moir) =hubris, inflexibility & an inability to learn from mistakes. These feature strongly in studies of what causes leaders to fail. tick tock #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Luxon has kept his Christian fascist mates close and the more reasonable, politically skilled MPs have been sidelined/demoted… 😬 I can’t see this ending well!! #nzpol

Luxon’s attempt to refocus the media is constitutionally misplaced. Confidence is the lifeblood of government. And the media have a legitimate interest in interrogating changing dynamics in confidence.

Business confidence 1% wowee but I thought National was the party for business and getting the economy back on track? #nzpol #crational #red26

Nicola Willis's attacks in Parliament read better than they sound. Shrill doesn't convey the half of it. #nzpol

If the oil crisis turns into a full blown food crisis and national disaster in the next few months, the National Party will be wiped out at the next election and will never recover. So yeah, this might be a good time to get out #nzpol

Preaching to the choir on here I think, but this is important. Share it with people in your life that are less terminally online. And encourage them to register and *vote*. We won’t survive if we continue as we are. #nzpol

Ok this site needs an edit button my autocorrect changes things dramatically so much the entire meaning of posts changes

A system that consistently protects perpetrators and undermines survivors is a biased, corrupt system. How many headlines do we see where a judge is protecting a perpetrator’s good name, their career? How many actions are framed as a judgement error? Help change an unacceptable status quo👇 #nzpol

huh... Insurance companies are woke now apparently

Today's publishers are struggling to market books. With daily newspaper 'reading' in sharp decline, reaching readers has become difficult and more oriented toward online influencers or similar nebulous sources. How and where to market is a serious problem. #writingcommunity #booksky #marketing

It’s always about oil.

I keep my medical trauma between me, my family, my closest friends, and anybody who happens to make eye contact with me

can i jus' walk along to the local dairy one day wearing the clothes i'm comfortable in, instead of changing to publically correct? k, it might be a corset and panties, so? this is my local, i accept you in spongebob pajamas and slippers at the supermarket, where's the problem?

listening to Friday's BHN it's also video on the TV, but i can hold just audio from the girls¹ much better than audio from Pat and Chewie cis male voice expression is way difficult for me to interpret ¹and my apologies Magenta, you do masc texture so well, i just tend to get NB, oops #nzpol

the USA, a fascist state in the midst of complete roman empire-esque collapse if you don't do history, that's on you, pls don' bitch at the silly little blonde airhead trans girl 'cos she walks to her local library and reads books about history #nzpol

it was the beginning of the end when yr girl said probably use BASR as standard, not BALR, it'll affect performance — but we can't embed flags in BASR — correct, BASR is partly implemented in picocode, you're not writing against hardware more — jus' fuck off ya tranny bitch — k

Aotearoa had some of the very best, globally, application assembly programmers me as sysprog was wtf, do not! — but it works in our realtime OS, constrained to only running in-core, no virtual page swapping — except, hon', it's being turned into an MVS subsystem — like a VM? — nooooo

the realtime assembly programmers of my my era would do anything to save a bit, not a byte, in real memory inserting flags into a BAS instruction that was not rewritten during an address space swap so fucking cool, but microcode specific, do not do that bitch

it's that time of night where i should be asleep that's Aotearoa motherfuckers, the US of A is not the only TZ on the planet, my nation-state is the bleeding edge of UTC daily time changes

k, i'm messing with an old android version where white male bigotry was hardwired from MIT post UNIX developers but no LLM wired in, that's a bonus

most annoying fucking thing is that the android service is insisting on playing a stupid default "i've started" notif sound i know you started, i can see it on the screen, and you picked ruuuuurlly annoying tone sequences — tries to turn off sound — nah, doing it this is anti-accessibility

About 5 months ago, at the end of spring, we planted #KyotoRedCarrot seed. This was our first attempt at growing Japan's famous #KintokiNinjin. We did not get a great germination rate, 5% at most. What grew tastes great. We'll try again next year at the start of spring. #Learning 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 🥕

tonight's BHN was splendiferous, even for an autistic little bitch like me who's constantly thinking just get to the fucking point long episode but well worth the time #nzpol, and maybe #bhn too, i don't like using hashtags

Maybe next time a company names itself after the evil thing from a book series we should take that to mean they are ontologically evil

Heysus Christie on a fucking unicycle, the level of horrendous misogynist HATE directed at Chlöe on her FB post about electrification. Kiwi males don't mind letting you know they're absolute cunts of human beings. Oh the ones in Wellington attacking Chlöe last night - IRONY fucking alert.

Planes fly faster than me, too. What's your fuckin point?

Luxon does not want to talk about how he cancelled Labour's climate resiliance fund, or how little he's spending on protecting us from the weather his donors are causing.

Branch manager.. 😅

I'd much prefer a proportional/MMP system whereby the govt HAS to be formed according to proportion of vote. Would that mean a series of compromised govts that refuse to cooperate? Only if they never want to get elected again, otherwise they'd need to learn to grow the fuck up and work together

Has Tamaki blamed this storm on the queers yet?

The man who said building relationships was his strength has 5 backbench MPs trying to bring down his Prime Ministership lol ok bro.

Believing you’re better than other human beings and therefore you are allowed to violate human rights should be in the DSM as a diagnosis. I don’t care if it doesn’t qualify you for a PD

it's very funny to me that two of the blocklists i'm on are called 'AI enjoyers' and 'AI haters'. come on which one is it make up your mind??

Good shit to all involved from those putting up traps, to those looking closely at every wasp and bee, to those pushing the government to do something, to the workers at MPI. Keep going!

Not going to share it, but wow, ACT going full attack mode on Chlöe following the poll result. Nasty stuff that I hope backfires.

“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.” This is why we should fund science. 🧪

So the National-led government are signing a trade agreement with India next week despite lacking political support to get parliamentary signoff? #NzPol
