A more egalitarian, fairer, better everything Aotearoa is possible . Politicians who refuse to commit to that are not only benefitting from the status quo they’re going into parliament to preserve it.

And those given it for 'business and philanthropy' can fuck right off too. Flicking a few of your ill-gotten untaxed gains to charity is not worthy of recognition.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

Not that I'm Christian, but a forced relocation of folks away from where they have chosen to be, to make their own way to sleep in makeshift areas elsewhere, seems like a bit on the nose for this time of the year.

like all minorities, Jews are not a monolith. Juliet Moses may be positioned as "Jewish community leader" in Aotearoa and she may speak for some, but she doesn't speak for all. certainly not for me when she's using the murder of Jews to slag off Chlöe Swarbrick. also fuck the ACT Party.

Despicable, firstly because she had few options but she persisted & imo they’re persecuting her for the temerity & secondly, the police refuse to use the legislation they’re using against her to prosecute the men who digitally harass/abuse women. They only use it to protect systems/abusers.

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test" when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter it's diagnostic

You NEVER see National's leaders leaping to denounce ACT policies. They don't have to endorse them; they just brush off the question. Then when they get into power, they form a coalition and suddenly a whole bunch of stuff which didn't fit National's ~responsible manager~ brand gets done on day one

Productivity isn't measured about how much people work or produce, it's also about investment into productive sectors, something we're HORRENDOUS at in NZ (part of why kiwis have low productivity measures despite long work hours). I suspect what you're seeing evidence of is sovereign wealth funds.

I remain adamant that rare wine fraud is the most pro-social, most economically productive, most just, and most hilarious crime that exists. The prison sentence for anyone convicted of it should be two weeks in a resort and extra training to help them do it better.

Michael was the kind of guy who was listening to a woman call into a show and talk about how heart crushing infertility was and how expensive IVF was so he contacted the show and paid for her to have the procedure, and thus, the baby. He was a good one.

Minister Stanford’s clumsy, racist efforts to bully schools into disavowing te Tiriti (& thus betray māori students & whanau) has backfired SPECTACULARLY thanks to a groundswell of community repugnance. Memo to editors and senior media execs: this is what an actual *groundswell* looks like.
