I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesnāt matter that grok is āan AIā whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. Thatās functionally identical what happening here. Itās not complicated.

Disaster!!! National and ACT will cry should our tax system actually face the wealthy to pay the same rate of tax working folk have to stump up. But it's a lie - like all of their lies. Let's look at Maine to see what happened (despite the same hysteria)

Tax flight is a myth - MECEP
Recent studies, data, and testimony say that tax flight is a myth. Wealthy people arenāt fleeing ā theyāre thriving in higher-tax states.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't ā and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously.

Imagine this scenario. I met a lady who wants her 8 year-old boy to really enjoy his creative writing classes. I suggested she get him into a role playing game BUT pref not D&D because sheād have to DM and sheād never heard of it(?!?). Does anyone have a child friendly RPG suggestion for a busy mum?

If you keep voting for politicians who want to cut public services and roll back human rights, eventually you end up desperate but powerless because if you so much as squeak in protest the government is free to do what it wants to you.

In 1976, African nations boycotted the Montreal Olympics because New Zealand stood with apartheid South Africa. Nearly 50 years on, that echo lingers and the stain remains far longer than we care to admit to ourselves.

Qatar gifted Trump a luxury plane. Trump returned the favor by okāing an Israeli attack on their capital. I imagine Qatar has briberās remorse.

First off, a glaring typo. Was meant to say "we can go into coalition negotiations with great policy from 3 parties". I think perhaps in the darkness of where we are now we can lose sight of our potential. Our sole goal needs to unite to expel the monster, not nit pick over momentary things.

Uber extracted $402m in revenue from NZ in 2024 but paid less than $1m in tax. Unfair global tax rules allow corporations to profit at our expense. Fair tax policies could help us tackle growing inequality, curb rising living costs, protect nature, and fund climate action.

Been lucky enough to visit Borneo, see incredible wildlife and meet a lovely couple who shared their photos. Our guide Saiben was a legend and could mimic any bird. Hats off to him as well as Utan Rainorest Lodge - but with only 17% of original forest left, Eco-Tourism may be the only answer.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue Iām editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Appeasing cookers with politics is like trying to calm a crying baby by taking it to the Louvre. The baby won't appreciate it. The patrons won't appreciate it. And now the fucking Mona Lisa is covered in mashed potato.

There a many, many joys about living (mainly) in the Far North. A new one is my daily visit from a piwakawaka who flies into my place, picks out some tasty insect kai, and then flutters out with a chirp of thanks.
