Jones' 'butter chicken tsunami' comment 'scaremongering', says PM NZ First deputy leader cops a broadside from the Prime Minister for comments about NZ's free trade agreement with India.

It's not 'alarming' or 'scaremongering, it's racist shit from a cunt who thinks he's clever. #NZpol

Supremely Confident: Luxon and the Executive-Ego Two short sentences in Marc Daalder’s Newsroom article from a couple of days ago really captured the Luxon I see:

An interesting, and I think accurate, take on Luxon from Dr Andrew Dickson. Buckle up for a bit of Lacanian theory.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

No issues with priority list of who needs fuel, AS LONG AS food banks/food rescue/food support (and other similar charities) are included in the "food supply chain" definition - as their are many in Aotearoa that rely on these outlets for their food.🙏🏾

Analysis: "I have the numbers" was the quote of the day from an embattled leader and Prime Minister, and one that may still come back to haunt him.

Moir says "embattled"!! TEAM WE HAVE AN "EMBATTLED" IN THE WILD #nzpol

aaaand here's another (jp morgan chase):

for all the headlines about how finance doesn't care about climate anymore (there are many) the job postings are saying the opposite--they've truly never cared this much before

Exactly one year ago today:

A sign of thinking normally.

Can luxon genuinely be the "yes" answer to any of those though?

Yeah no way

KM surely

a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies . Alt: a man in a military uniform says are we the baddies .

Treasury:

Whenever Luxon talks about "not repeating the mistakes of covid", I want to scream.

Saving 20,000 lives was not a "mistake". And a regime which thinks it was are simply murderous monsters.

If a PM falls in a caucus and no-one is here to shitpost, does it make a sound.

'Tidiest solution': Goldsmith leans towards axing Broadcasting Standards Authority It follows a jurisdiction ruling over Sean Plunket's The Platform.

“… they will purge the agencies that enforce accountability, they will rewrite the law so that they are no longer breaking it… and if they are clever, they will eliminate any structural protections you had before the majority realizes the extent of the damage.”

when can we talk about a social media ban for old people? because it's clearly harming them

The second question has absolutely sent me. Sitting down with AI Doctor Jesus and Sweaty Millennial Antipope to ask when things are getting back to normal before the guy who looks like a haunted tree offers her some roadkill glands.

This really is suggesting that a political party running on a platform of "electrify all the things" would be pushing on an open door.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. for the first time I can remember, there’s no supposedly obvious alternative path to reliable employment that our leaders can demand we pivot to.

indeed, they’re not even bothering to try to offer an alternative - and scamming starts feeling like the only answer

This Car Can Launch YouTube video by Rewiring Aotearoa

Great campaign from #RewiringAotearoa #ThisCarCan #nzpol

It may be 15 years old, basically worthless, dented, and smells of kids, dogs and the beach but our 1st Gen Leaf is probably the best car we've ever owned - perfect for multiple local trips each day and so helpful right now

Acyn « @Acyn X.com VANCE: What they have done is engage in this act of economic terrorism against the entire world. As the President showed, two can play at that game.

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either:

a. Incompetent

China’s Electrostate Is Poised to Win From War in the Middle East

NZ has the worst government but we also have them at the worst possible time. Other governments are now at least scrambling to reduce fossil fuel dependence and moving to get Chinese expertise & kit. Ours is pretending it's 1995 and nothing is changing.

"This 80 year old Foreign Minister wants you to know he's thinking about how you and your kids piss, shit and fuck all the time and wants legislation to ensure he knows exactly what genitalia everyone has and use that to stop people using the toilet, joining sports clubs, and receiving healthcare."

More than half of Gen Z-ers living in the United States use generative artificial intelligence regularly, but their feelings about the technology are souring, according to a new survey released on Thursday by Gallup, the Walton Family Foundation and GSV Ventures, a venture capital firm that works in education technology. The percentage of respondents ages 14 to 29 who said they felt hopeful about A.I. declined sharply since last year, down to 18 percent from 27. Young adults' excitement about artificial intelligence dropped, too, and nearly a third of respondents indicated that the technology made them feel angry.

I guess what I’m saying is great consumer products don’t make young people feel anger and despair the more they use them www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/s...

Seeing a lot of tributes for Aaron Ramsey today, which I understand from a footballing POV but lads, lets not forget all the famous people he killed
