I stand with Canada, Ukraine and anyone else opposing authoritarians. (a.k.a. The Celica Guy - yes, let's chat about old Toyotas, #savethedragons, #newzealand)
Meanwhile Jack Tame is out here doing a two minute segment on how much Luxo has failed to show up on Q+A www.youtube.com/shorts/VKlXb... #nzpol
We asked Chris Luxon for an interview - here's the response

1 kid died in Nationa/ACT's Boot Camp trial. ALL re-offended & went back to the justice system. Decades of research show boot camps don't work & makes crime worse. John Key's govt agreed. Yet this one continues to abuse urgency & ignore evidence, passing the law under urgency last night #nzpol
#NZpol I can’t see this reported by any media outlet. Media have widely reported the c- word fuss. "Cry me a river" was earlier in the day, apparently. (cont’d)
Grant Jacobs BioinfoTools/NotJustDNA 🔬🧬🖥️✍️📚🇳🇿@notjustdna.bsky.social · 3d ago#NZpol Belated thoughts: Luxon’s "Cry me a river" is stunning to hear so flagrantly, but to me it’s entirely consistent with his party (& his coalition partner’s) equally offensive unwillingness to take responsibility for anything they’ve done, preferring to make out it’s others’ doing 😔
Oakland! TONIGHT at 6 p.m. is the launch party for the new edition of "Cyberselfish." Paulina Borsook is the OG tech critic who warned about the dangerous broligarchy three decades ago. She was ignored & erased. But now she's back. Buy her book! Spread the word! See you there? luma.com/05tl0orh
An evening with Paulina Borsook about her classic book, Cyberselfish · Luma
Paulina Borsook's Cyberselfish, first published in the year 2000, was a groundbreaking exploration of the culture of Silicon Valley. The book saw the warning…

"New Zealand's quarterly growth rate was the weakest among key trading partners including the US, UK, EU, and Japan, and Australia." That should put to bed any notion that an underperforming economy is due to global factors, right? #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...
New Zealand economy grows by 0.2% in June quarter
The economy has escaped significant damage from the Middle East war and spike in fuel prices with a modest rise in growth driven by stronger house building.

A fundamental tenet of MAGA and all the other "populist" parties (Reform UK, RN, AfD, etc) is that global warming is a hoax and we must not believe the climate scientists. But the evidence is unequivocal.
Macklemore can sue Robert Kraft for Tortious Interference for economic harm and I hope he does. Discovery would be fun: "Which other stadium owners did you talk to?" and "We need all related emails, text messages and contracts between you and them and you and Sheeran and Sheeran's team."
#nzpol this NACT govt has really delivered...
Jordan Rivers@jordanriversnz.bsky.social · 4d agoREMINDER: Its September 2026, Under Labour we would have had both Cook Strait ferries by now. Luxons replacement ferries wont be here till 2029, have less capacity for people and cars, and including Nicolas cancellation fee, will only be approx 470m cheaper.
It's genuinely a bit funny to see a right-wing-market-will-fix-it party feeling forced to adopt a policy like this. Of course they said they'd do "something about the supermarkets" ahead of the last election and didn't, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
National vows to 'pursue' break up of supermarket giant Foodstuffs
National has made a supermarket break-up a key part of its election pitch, proposing to sever Pak'nSave from New World in a bid to drive down grocery prices.

NFL owners, led by Robert Kraft, banded together to blackball Macklemore over a “Free Palestine’ chant. Meanwhile, raging antisemite and Hitler lover Kanye West is touring the same stadiums. This was never about antisemitism www.sportspolitika.news/p/macklemore...
Macklemore, the NFL and the politics of a free Palestine
Led by Patriots owner & Israel supporter Robert Kraft, NFL owners reportedly banded together to blacklist the American rapper over a “Free Palestine’ chant.

BREAKING: The 10-year Treasury yield just hit 5.041%, its highest level since 2007. We’re heading toward the financial cliff. MAGA
Fuck Trump and all the degenerate pedophiles that still support him.
The Irish musicians, Beoga, who play alongside Ed Sheeran, have withdrawn from Sheeran’s tour. This is the statement they published on Instagram:
Robert Kraft Is a Epstein Island Visitor. The New England Patriots Owner Is a Child Rapist

FACTS 1-Trump has been president for 6 of the past 10 years. 2- When Trump took Office for his second term on January 20, 2025. A barrel of oil was $80.15 it is $107.40 today. 3- The sole reason for the increase was Trump’s war on Iran. How stupid does Trump think we are?

Good thing New Zealand isn't blindly pursuing a massive investment in LNG importation infrastructure... That would be a very stupid and poorly timed decision.
Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social · 5d agoEuropean gas is above €82/MWh - the highest since late 2022. Hormuz remains largely shut and gas storage is at 68% going into winter. None of this started in Europe but we pay for it. The only exit is using less gas. Heat pumps, electrified industry, insulation.

The London Economic@thelondoneconomic.bsky.social · 5d agoAndy Burnham's government could thwart Reform's mega donors.
Just before arranging Trump Jr's wedding feast, Umar Kremlëv was awarded a medal for exceptional services to the Kremlin.
When you understand, as Pro Publica disclosed today, that Trump Jr is fully funded by the Kremlin, this makes a lot of sense.
I cannot emphasise enough how bad Luxon's economic speech was today - a veritable torrent of crap. Seriously. If this is what Treasury are giving him to say they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. I'll try and keep my critique to six points.... [🧵 1/n] www.1news.co.nz/2026/09/14/w...
