in a shocking twist, Seymour aims to take the moral high-ground Ministry for Pacific Peoples bomb threats be damned

Mike's a True Poster from way back, but he's never posted anything as bad as the hateful garbage Winston Peters posts every day.

There's nothing quoted in here from Mulipola that I can see that isn't true, and an honest politician is a rare thing.

*takes long drag on a spaceman cigarette* I'd actually quite like an MP or ten prepared to call the likes of Jevon McSkimming and his dodgy racist mates 'pigs'

I mean… Chlöe, Ricardo, Teanau, Mike - if not all of our MPs - are more than happy to join our firefighter’s picket against FENZ’s shameful ignorance, especially in Auckland Central. We’ve also pushed to get ACC for our volunteer firefighters. But I wonder where Labour is… #nzpol

Stupid trivial gripe but I'm annoyed by the current trend of using "our north star" in NZ corporate-speak. We can't even see the North Star from New Zealand FFS, how can that be our guiding direction.

Not acknowledging the past is a political statement.

We simply do not mock CrapGPT chuds anywhere near as much as they deserve.

He's perceiving mere disagreement and lack of respect as a violent assault, because his beloved chatbot would absolutely never say no. That's the whole explicit business model, after all.

A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them. Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.

Ole dead eyes at it again. Every day across NZ there is an army of low wage workers wiping your grandparents arses, collecting your rubbish & recycling, laying pavements etc, and a few people making a truckload of money doing nothing other than accumulating interest. Break the system.

I think we've been a bit too romantic about the idea that CEOs should exist

This makes the decision not to buy Monument Valley 3 very easy.

www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO26... Confirrmed destroyed by the caretaker of the cemetary. Their entire embassy should be expelled. And juliet moses too.

hey anyone in our govt said a thing about israel bombing a cemetary full of nz's fallen soldiers? i mean i don't know that they have bombed it but i've seen pictures of gaza so i'd be surprised if they hadn't.

Does anyone really believe that the 'temporary' increase in AoNZ truck weights and driver shift lengths will indeed be temporary? The transport industry clearly doesn't believe so from their comments. #nzpol

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Don't forget she spent years idolising, copying, inviting and defending KJK (that British transphobe only to get fucken lit up by her on twitter for daring to say that she'd like to adopt a child because it turns out her heroine hates the idea of gay couples raising kids. A born winner.

Timely reminder that Ani O'Brien never cared about women's sports, didn't support abortion law reform, and does not give a single shit about challenging homophobia. She's a conservative mouthpiece whose only value to her allies is ticking some identity boxes to launder their bigotry. ~fin~

Ani O'Brien, a rabid terf who works for the far right FSU, trying to undermine a Māori journalist working for a public broadcaster. Hmmm. Stinks of Whaleoil tactics

Interesting Willis would be working with Ani O'Brien to attack TVNZ when the person at the centre of it didn't want it taken any further. New lows all around.

Curious as how Terfy Ani thinks it’s her place to breach Llloyd’s privacy, and why now? #nzpol

Today at Question Time I was seated next to Gerry Brownlee's young cousin who is a Green Party supporter.👍✌️💚✊️ Judith Collins was seated in the Speaker's Gallery and spent all her time on her phone, something that nobody else in the Gallery is allowed to have with them.💩 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

Maybe the finance minister shouldn't be laying on a boozy party ahead of the budget as she castigates the public sector for spending too much?

Hoo boy. You got TVNZ's Sherman calling Stuff's Burr a homophobic slur but it all comes via bad faith instigator O'Brien's Substack? And it happened a year ago but comes out now the govt has an anti-TVNZ crusade before the election? There's no chance of the whole truth coming out of this.

If Chris Hipkins is not happy with the India FTA, and says that Labour would not have negotiated it, then why are they allowing the agreement to pass through Parliament. We're owed a compelling explanation. #nzpol

Well guess my chorus appointment scheduled for this "AM" isn't happening 😡

And erm I'm sorry "research"? Do you know who has the skill and knowledge to research for you? And do a 1000% better job than any of the LLMs on the market? THE PUBLIC SERVANTS YOU CUT. #nzpol

The Post asked MPs about their use of AI and I'm fucking livid. Especially the guy using Grok, a tool that famously allowed users to create nonconsensual sexualised deepfakes. You think the standing orders are "complex" and need a tool made by a neo Nazi to make sense of it? Get a grip. #nzpol

Having lost one grandmother to a medicine dosage miscalculation, uhhhhhhhh. Fuck no.

New life hack just dropped

I don't know Bryna but I know her friends. If you can help support Bryna, a solo māmā - please do: givealittle.co.nz/cause/suppor...

science/public health communicators need to get better at this. stop playing their rigged game, you’re never going to win. they know what they’re doing. we need to as well

THIS. it will take years, many years, to reinstate what CoC have dismantled. at each stage new legislation will need to revise/update what it's designed to restore, be drafted, consulted upon, have enuf support to pass, etc etc. i trust Greens to hammer away at that. for years. any other party? no.

"It's not [original to say] that many people use their vehicles as an extension of themselves. It's important then to ask whether discussions about transport are being led by an objective evaluation of needs; or if in a country so obsessed with domination, they're being led by a need to dominate."

#NZ Greens “Green Budget” is fully costed & fantastic. Free GPs, Dentists & childcare. Less tax for 91%+ NZers, #climatechange action, conservation; $395/wk income guarantee; & the wealth tax is v similar to Australia’s! 💚❤️🖤#PartyVoteGreen #nzpol www.greens.org.nz/green_budget...

So tired of being subjected to fresh American bullshit every time I log on.

Love to have my photos app create a jaunty little flashback reel to remind me that it's been a year to the day since a sick little duckling died in my hands 🫠

If the PM is ducking media spots, the opposition should be throwing their hands high and asking if they can come on TV and talk about the stuff the PM is too scared to.

Anyway, TVNZ should just give his spot to Chloe Swarbrick, and then when he complains about not getting media attention, tell him he's getting exactly what he asked for.

It is simply simply not possible to despise the real estate industry enough.

NZ hist peeps, can anyone help?

Public figures have a public duty to answer to the media. If they don't want to do it at parliament, then they can do it elsewhere, where its less convenient and more intrusive for them. Their choice.

Interesting that these blokes are getting higher rates to attend personal appointments than the largely female support workers got to cover travel costs to deliver essential community services. Wonder why that is 🤔

It's the end of its operational life according to the guys running it. It's not the greens, or woke, it's that the fossil fuel companies cannot see a future where they make money on that field. The govts ideology keeps being undermined by the very hard numbered reality.
