💯 👇In brief, NZ Labour (and left parties in general) need to ask one simple question: "What would Starmer do?" Then don't. #nzpol

And you my find yourself in an office on the ninth floor And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a whole nation And you may find yourself behind a wooden podium, answering a 400th round of questions about your leadership And you may ask yourself, 'Well how did I get here?"

As seen on Twitter.

We all have days like this

Also atrocious visibility for people outside the vehicle, people like the driver's own children for instance?

Allbirds Pivots To AI In an announcement that caused its stock to rally almost 600%, Allbirds said it would stop making its well-known minimalist, sustainable shoes and become an AI infrastructure company. What do you thin...

Becos it's the onion's world and we're just living in it now.

Who could have possibly forseen any other outcome? ChatGPT perhaps? Tragedy for a brand that looked like it stood for… something or another. #allbirds

You really missed something. There are better reactions and walkthrus than Beato's and of course the gig videos. ADP have absolutely cracked the code - I think they are a special moment for music and culture, which we sure as hell happen to need rn.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Massive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground YouTube video by Massive Attack

#TomWaits AND #Massiveattack ?? Yep - and given Mr Waits has tended to shy away from the overtly political, and new music as such, for that matter - this is kind of a #bigfuckingdeal. And it lands hard. #bootsontheground.

Massive Attack are real ones

There will be a party like this in the U.S. one day

This is so well done. 👌

Notable that of all the hopelessly unqualified cultists on his team the only ones he fires are women… And so to Gliead we go.

“I serve at the pleasure of the PM" code for "I've been totally shafted" #nzpol

TBH I've never understood #reshuffle s . Outside of conspicuous trainwrecks* - you're essentially taking minister with newly acquired domain knowledge shoving them somewhere where they don't have it and replacing them with someone who doesn't have what they've just learned. #nzpol

Replacing Bish with the fundy Penk and hand campaign to (Simeon) "Brown… as part of his "brains trust", it seems the wonder CEO now just wants to blaze all the way down with Xtian extremism.

#reshuffle #NXpol

So let me get this straight - Auckland now gets…fresh from fucking over the climate… Simon Watts as 'relief' from Simeon Brown so he can prosecute an 'anti-woke' culture war as campaign chair? #nzpol

Dozens of arrests after fighting and disorder at annual festival Officers conducted 3000 breath tests and caught 11 drunk drivers over the weekend.

Whereas credible MSM might be asking WTF are we doing celebrating gas guzzlers in a fossil-fuelled #energycrisis?

A few things Labour should be pointing out daily -

1. Nats cancelled our clean car scheme
2. Willis cancelled our electric propelled ferry
3. Nats cancelled Lake Onslow
4. Nats cancelled our public transport support
5. NZ1 rejected the diesel backup stock plan.

Instead MIA. Disappointing.

I'm sorry but they really are the same! There is no discernible difference between them! So this is a two part plan and it is:
1. Do nothing
2. Freak the fuck out

March, 19-21: God is a comedian A stiff drink is recommended

'assassinating everyone with the authority to negotiate & then complaining, with what appears to be genuine bewilderment, that nobody will negotiate [is like] burning down every restaurant in town & then leaving a bad Yelp review about the lack of dining options'

Graph showing popularity of hipkins vs luxon over 10 years

We're all talking about Luxon's sliding popularity, but Hipkins is only better in relative terms - his leadership is also less popular than ever. The prevailing trend, is that 'centrist' neolib in either austerity or technocratic tinking flavours is not convincing. #nzpol
