shout out to politics-knowers that parties with more left-wing policy than Labour (Greens, TPM, Opportunity) are collectively (snort) outpolling Labour
Did you stop drawing as a kid? Nearly everyone does. And they almost always do it for the same reason.
We have to go back… to the drawing board
Why am I creating *another* drawing course?

Everyone is either sick or knows someone who's sick and you know what? It's the Government's fault. Please share this article as widely as you can. This amount of mass illness isn't a coincidence, it's a choice they're making for you #nzpol www.emilywrites.co.nz/this-governm...
This government is making you sick
So many of us are sick. And there's a reason for it.

Call me stupid but basing your economic policy on what % of gdp you think the tax rate should be, rather than on what the government should be doing to make the economy better, seems like arse backwards nonsense
there are some conclusions that we can draw from this that have mostly been screamingly obvious for years or decades but have entirely escaped the political class which absolutely includes nearly all politics journalists: www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol #kikorangi #thread
Opportunity leader: Voters starting to see us as a stable and safe coalition partner
The leader of the Opportunity Party says people are starting to see the nascent movement as a stable and safe coalition partner, as the new RNZ-Reid Research poll puts the party in the driver's seat.

First I was banned from X/Twitter. Then Facebook banned my newsletter. Then X/Twitter banned me permanently. Now YouTube disables my channel the week of my book launch. Was it something I said? 👉 www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
4/ And you know which group of people are often *really* thin-skinned? Journalists - who often dismiss any criticism of their conduct out of hand, and had a collective meltdown when Owen Jones pointed out that a high percentage of them went to private school.

What in the MAGA-living-fuck is this shit?
Andy Reisinger@andyreisinger.bsky.social · 3w agoNot a single mention of “greenhouse gases”, “fossil fuels” or "climate change". Ministry claims students will still learn how the climate system works, why it changes, and its impacts. Withholding core vocabulary from curriculum to express causal relationships amounts to disinformation.

sir a second reporter has hit the Luxon resignation beat
Giovanni Tiso@gtiso.bsky.social · 3w agoThe alert level surrounding Luxon has reached the three-reporters stage
political fanfic: Luxon trips and falls on to a large pile of metaphorical knives held by innocent caucus members, Bishop takes leadership, kicks Winston Peters in the metaphorical teeth, dares him to bring down coalition, Peters obliges, snap election
Oh are we identifying the ideology of lobby groups now? That's great! I look forward to the NZ Initiative, Free Speech Union, Taxpayers' Union, and every bank economist being called right-wing in the headlines of their numerous self-generated stories from now on.
A big old scoop: an Ombudsman investigation into a refused OIA request has helped shed light on just how much AI the Ministry of Education is using to create the new school curriculum www.emilywrites.co.nz/the-ministry...
The Ministry of Education is using so much AI it can't tell us how much AI it's using
The Ministry doesn't seem to want the public to know exactly how much AI it's using - or what it's using AI for.
