I emailed my MP, urging Labour to reject National's social media ban. I believe it breaches privacy rights. As well as the NZBoRA's freedoms of thought, conscience and religion; expression; and association. A better option would mandate friction into the design these platforms. #nzpol
I think @mozilla.org goofed with @firefox.com and their latest update. I'm getting "storage full" alerts on both my Android tablet and my Windows PC. Hoping they squash this bug quickly, it's the kind of thing that can drive a user away. #browsers
So National can't afford to build new Dunedin Hospital to its original planned scale, but three months before an election suddenly find $100m for (checks notes), a gondola in Queenstown ? Utterly incompetent. #nzpol #NationalNotFitToGovern #onetermgovernment #CoC #LuxonOut
Notably, #3 ranked Chris Bishop was absent behind Luxon in that press conference #nzpol
It's been fun, team. Lame-duck Luxon waddles on. Let's all do this again in a month or so. #nzpol

@thejuicemedia.com draws the link between data centres and LNG. And oh my, the Nats here in NZ want both an LNG terminal and AI data centres. Surprise fucking surprise. #nzpol

On the one hand, a photo walk might seem appealing. On the other hand, to hell with that.
I honestly and sincerely believe Winston Peters is a racist. This is not a new opinion. It's not borne out of any pearl clutching wokeness. I can only conclude the one meaningful contribution he has for NZ public life is to exit it as soon as possible and retreat into obscurity. #nzpol
I went to #TheOdyssey today and I loved it. I caught the nod to Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son in Polyphemus' cave scene. I don't recall the Bronze Age Collapse specifically being discussed in the poem, but I can see why Nolan used it to contextualise the story.
Winston Peters needs to go back to harassing goats from under his bridge. #nzpol

These far right critics of The Odyssey are ridiculous. Instead of the wine dark sea, they whine "Dark! See?!".
The bloke in Auckland who labels every #eqnz as extreme is still there, which in a way is reassuring.
I see NZ First wants to introduce conscription. #nzpol

Sam Neill had a pretty decent horror career within his wider body of work. Omen 3, The Mouth of Madness and Event Horizon, notably. Even Jurassic Park had horror elements. He'll be missed.
