Sanction Israel.

Tbh I don’t think it’s extreme at all to expel the U.S. ambassador when both the current and previous Administrations have backed & provided cover for genocide (and now started an illegal war).

Had to watch a recap YT vid last night because I don’t have three hours to spare to rewatch before seeing the third 😭

I know that policy example is pretty much a past Greens one, but parties that know they’ll need each other to form govt should be announcing joint policies or endorsing each other’s so folks see what’s possible if they vote for that instead of thinking “Labour will just veto everything progressive.”

Whatever jinx you wish to ensue as long as the project isn’t jinxed in the process! 😂

I know of at least one person (who wasn’t white) who was convicted of the same crime this year and they got sent to prison for three years. Says it all really.

Huge problem when so many don’t vote. Genuinely mindblowing policy platforms make folks say “I gotta get enrolled!!” THAT is where the focus should be. Not incremental change & status quo.

e.g. abolish welfare & replace it with a UBI/minimum income funded by a wealth tax to safeguard against AI.

Last night on BHN did NOT inspire confidence. 😵‍💫 Activating the left & unenrolled voters with lifechanging policy will win, not hugging the centre trying to please Nat voters.

Inspire people to shift with lifechanging policy, not by playing it safe & showing little contrast between Labour/National.

TAKEN with Dakota Fanning. Often forgotten by many, but I remember being enthralled when it first came out.

I do not feel confident about Labour’s election strategy at all. Activate the left and unenrolled voters with bold lifechanging policy, don’t ride the centre and play it safe trying to appeal to landlords and National voters. The latter is what collapsed Labour’s majority last time. #nzpol

Policies that energise & excite left & working class voters. Hope is contagious. e.g. abolish our conditional & shame-based welfare system & replace it with UBI, or supporting 🟩’s minimum income from taxing corps & wealthy.

If AI continues to erode job security, some form of UBI will be vital.

If you get a chance with Chippy, please sound the alarm 🚨 on Labour Chippying around the edges too much & appealing to no one. They’ll need big swing blockbuster policies that aren’t focused on trying to drag Nats/centrist voters towards them (which failed with the Dems hugging Cheneys in America).

They’re so good at this stuff! 😂

Aotearoa New Zealand must Sanction Israel now. #SanctionIsrael

It never ended

I really need all this AI nonsense to implode asap so we can get back to addressing how to save ourselves from cooking the planet at an ever increasing rate.

Milton could set the building on fire :( YouTube video by Wolf's Heap

And @chewienz.bsky.social @patbrittenden.bsky.social Seymour in that NZ Herald interview every time Chlöe spoke is giving Milton in Office Space vibes: youtu.be/Rg2xa78QsnQ?...

Yes @chewienz.bsky.social totally agree with your take on AI!! It’s gonna crash and take most of the US economy with it, there is no path to profit and it’s far too unregulated. And the environmental damage. Most of this VC money will get spent on lawsuit payouts for plagiarism or other harm done.

actually, everyone should put the safety of children and civilians first no matter their identity.

Rates caps may mean more expensive parking, libraries and pools, mayors say Councils might consider raising fees for things like pools, recreation centres and other community facilities, Wellington mayor Andrew Little says.

Yes that is entirely the point.

Force user-pays on everybody so that the wealthy can have a nice society that the poor aren't able to participate in but have to prop up.

After “Nicky No Boats” are we about to get a “Bishop’s Got No Tug” shirt? 😂

Help us support 60+ families over Christmas As our pōhutukawa bloom, we are asking you to help hope bloom in Gaza for our precious families.

we’re trying to raise $18k so we can cover our minimum weekly mutual aid contributions over the Christmas & New Year period to the 60+ verified families we support in Gaza. We’ve raised $3k since starting yesterday. If you can’t contribute, please share: chuffed.org/project/1589...

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive? Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
