Can I produce my own report:

We were lucky that many more didn't die.
Our government cared enough to save the country from more deaths.
Fuck off you scummy right wing media

Palantir’s NHS England contract β€˜opens door to government abuse of power’, health bosses told Health justice charity Medact says data-sharing potential could be used for UK version of US immigration raids Palantir’s NHS contract opens the door to the Big Brother-style data-sharing that Reform UK would use for a version of US immigration raids, health bosses have been told. Palantir Technologies – the data analytics company founded by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp – won a Β£330m NHS England contract to deliver the Federated Data Platform in 2023. Continue reading...

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

C19 & climate denial are mutually supporting fossil-funded #AtlasNetwork disinfo projects. Anyone tracking which commissioners or witnesses are from #AtlasNetwork thinktanks or cite them as authorities? e.g. 'Great Barrington Declaration' (American Institute for Economic Research)

Find all the data you can - we’re clearly going to need it to keep correcting the MPs who plan to campaign by spreading total bullshit and hoping people don’t bother to look up facts, while trying to drown out those that do. A lie will run around the world before the truth has got its boots on

Mediawatch: Fears of interference and influence in news Two cases this week raised questions about influence on newsrooms from outside - and inside media companies - and sensitivities about the possibility of political interference.

"It's dangerous"

Reactions on TVNZ Board / Paul Goldsmith in 1News journalism - similar cases have seen other TVNZ Board Members & Ministers resign

No surprise we've seen right wing pundits like Ben Thomas & Audrey Young downplay it but it shouldn't be forgotten #nzpol

β€˜I Genuinely Am Upset That Your Kids Are Vaccinated’ Del Bigtree, a longtime ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., isn’t just anti-vaccine. He’s pro-infection.

It's as if they understand and accept the facts and/or expert consensus on a given topic but set policy in the opposite direction to annoy the libs.

It's not just ignorance or a lack or knowlege. It's anti-knowlegde.

The idea that New Zealand should be drilling for oil for "energy security" seems to forget we live in a globalised world and any oil drilled in the EEZ will be shipped to somewhere it can get the global market price, just like we pay approximately the same for NZ produced meat and milk as the UK

NZ had started down the pathway to cut its dependence on oil and gas. Then Luxon/Willis/Bishop/Jones/Seymour reversed course. Looks pretty stupid now.
