SCREAMING at Holly Rowe leaving the sourcing in her tweet and revealing it came from the league. Holly’s never been a journalist but this is fully amateur hour from a long-time member of the media.

NPC 2026: China to Enshrine Xi-Era Ethnic Policy in New Law China's new assimilationist ethnic policy mandates forging a common Han-centric Chinese culture and identity, while muting minority identity expression.

This is basically Colonialism 101, but we can expect the campists and tankies to, uh, well

If, like me, you joined InternetNZ last year to ensure your point of view was not overwhelmed when it came to board election (thanks) and AGM voting, then it's coming up time to renew your membership to continue that mission.

If you didn't join last year, maybe you'd like to this year?

It’s pretty funny to me that the one WBC team that has sorta felt like they were cosplaying military valor by infinitely brow-furrowing is the one that goofed the rules so bad they might be eliminated.

Meanwhile everyone else is just having the time of their life. Glee. Heartbreak. Pure sport

I do not understand how the ABSOLUTELY VOLUNTARY destruction of the original ferry replacement is not a massive political scandal?!

It was a reflexive ideological decision that has disadvantaged the country significantly.

From the baseball community on Reddit: Mark Derosa said this morning on MLB Network that the USA already clinched their way to the Quarterfinals Explore this post and more from the baseball community

The funniest thing about all this is that DeRosa thought Team USA is already through to the next round of the WBC.

MLB is deleting the video but reddit still has it up, for now:

While we might wish politicians wouldn't destroy the social fabric for gain, & might wish media quote the report itself to add context when repeating claims, we can at least invite those we know personally on-spreading claims to read aloud key report statements & judge politicians trustworthiness

It's all a bit cloak and dagger but more reporting on ABC Australia suggests they had to get them away from their handlers and that was a tricky proposition.

Why is China set to approve a new law promoting 'ethnic unity'? A law that could threaten the rights of minority groups is a sign of the direction Xi is taking China.

#China’s new β€œethnic unity” law, to be passed this week, will accelerate the attempted forced assimilation of the country’s ethnic minorities into the dominant Han culture, according to academics and human rights groups. A piece by me:

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

Stuff has a headline on the top of their front page that Iran announced the new supreme leader Khamenei is injured but I am not seeing any other major news site reporting it. Not on BBC, not on Guardian, not NYT.

So where the hell are they getting this from?

Ok maybe asking a silly question - while it's clear the US launched into this mess with the dumbest idiots and zero plan for what comes after, what exactly is Israel thinking? Do they just want to take Iran out while they can manipulate Trump into this? Won't this risk their security long term?
