I will continue to hate wealthy people because I have zero reason not to

PoE2’s Māori-inspired expansion draws praise for representation but criticism over lack of Māori consultation, cultural safety, and IP concerns, urging pathways for Māori in gaming.

Opinion from the University of Auckland: Air pollution in NZ is contributing to thousands of premature deaths each year, but we have the knowledge to fix it

Urban migration pushed Māori from homes that suited whānau life. Now iwi architects and builders are creating homes that make sense for their people.

Check out all the ways you can watch TOITŪ: Visual Sovereignty, a documentary film by Chelsea Winstanley from the interface of Indigenous people working with cultural institutions in Aotearoa. Tickets for this THURSDAY's screening at #SouthAuckland's Silky Otter in Takānini are only $10! BOOM!

Being clipped by an EV was the final straw for Josaiah Fue to take action and make roads safer for the blind and low-vision community. Disabled people face higher risks on New Zealand roads. Safer speeds, more signage in high-risk areas, and sound emitters on EVs are the way forward!

King Kapisi's debut LP 'Savage Thoughts' was released this week in 2001, hitting the Top 10. A groundbreaking record for Aotearoa hip-hop, it cleverly combined Pacific flavours with hip-hop beats. www.audioculture.co.nz/profile/king...

Imagine trusting cops lol lmfao.

This something I'm very proud to have done, in partnership with NatLib and @jingajik.bsky.social's team. In 2019, we put the first 8 years of Rip It Up online, free, searchabe and downloadable. In 2024 we added 1986-98 paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/periodicals/... @audioculturenz.bsky.social

These JT stories will be wild when they come out.

The worlds of art, scent and Māori storytelling have come together in Journey of Scent - a new six-part series exploring memory and identity through perfume.

Mana ebbs and flows aye.

Ngāti Hikairo ki Tongariro has placed two significant rāhui (prohibitions/restrictions) on Tongariro maunga following a massive fire that scorched nearly 3,000 hectares of land.

So, is Marama running in Taamaki next election?

Tino pōuri watching Tongariro burn. 😭

Once Were Warriors is a masterpiece tbh. RIP.

We are terribly sad to hear to hear of the passing of director Lee Tamahori: his debut feature film was the most successful film in NZ history, 1994's Once Were Warriors. ⁠Tama Renata working his magic on the theme tune is also unforgettable. www.audioculture.co.nz/articles/new...

That hua who posted on the Tamahori tribute articles. 😑

Renowned filmmaker Lee Tamahori, whose work helped define Māori storytelling on screen and propelled New Zealand cinema onto the world stage, has died.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Michael Rapadork losing his shit over Mamdani is glorious ngl lol.

Heads up, I’m putting together a great lineup for a special concert on Sun Mar 8, 2026 at the Akld Town Hall to mark International Women’s Day. My band Moana & the Tribe 1/

If you're in Melbourne this Thursday, come hear Jeanine Leane and myself have a conversation about Unbroken Resistance. MCed by Jane Harrison. Event is free, bookings essential. www.blakandbright.com.au/events/blak-...

Today, 144 years ago, 1600 Crown troops invaded a pacifist settlement that was the centre of resistance against British colonialism. The leaders were arrested, the settlement sacked, the people violated. For many in Aotearoa, November 5th is Parihaka Day, or Te Rā o te Pāhua: The Day of Plunder.

Shame on this government for the deeply racist Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Amendment Act, just passed into law.

Parliament passed MACA amendments amid protests. Government says clarity; critics say it erodes Māori rights, tightens CMT/PCR tests, overrides court rulings, and sparks legal uncertainty.

This miserable colony.

has anyone talked about the way in which paakehaa attempts to preserve our culture or cultural artifacts read as autopsy? thinking about george grey in particular (any reading recommendations along this line of thinking would be appreciated)

This is the D'Angelo performance that I've never forgotten. This song was already a huge hit but the way he took it from contemporary R&B to church revival illustrated how connected those idioms are. A revelation for those who didn't know, and an affirmation for those who did.

The Onion can re-run this today with D’Angelo swapped in for Prince RIP a(nother) legend @theonion.com @bencollins.bsky.social

It should have been D'onald not D'Angelo.

An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Today is D day. Rest in power my brother. You brought SO much beauty in to the world. RIP D'Angelo
