AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The irony of Hollywood whining about California being to expensive to film in anymore, is the amnesia about why the industry moved there in the first place. That's literally how gentrification works. 010

AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 08/10/2026So basically National are floundering in the polls and are resorting to their default tactic of bashing beneficiaries even though the employer can test during National's mandated employment trial period, and our labs are already struggling. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...rnz.co.nzNational promises random drug testing for jobseeker beneficiariesNational is promising to introduce random drug testing for those on the jobseeker benefit to ensure they're "ready for work". 000

AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think the chief takeaway from that bizarre Tucker Carlson / Jacob Rees‑Mogg interview is that while the Tories are fucking awful, they fall within an understood spectrum of fucking awful, but heaven only knows what's going on with the Americans. 140

AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Odd. They don't look like the Victorian religious and cultural movement that argued that Christian virtue was best expressed through physical strength, athletic discipline, moral courage, and public duty. They do, however, look like they are legally obliged to stay 300 feet from schools. 011

AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I think its weird people obsessing over Gerwig casting Streep as Aslan's voice (it's annoying at best and will probably sound different, if still American, in post), when she moved the entire timeline forward half a decade and made Jadis a normal height club kid. 000
AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Earth Sciences collects a lot of data for many organisations, including environmental ones. Typical Greenpeace going after the bottom of the food chain when the real villains are the mining companies and politicians like Shane Jones. 010

AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I suppose my chief disappointments in Nicky Hager's "Dirty Work" are that it's quite thin for having been this long in the works, and at least a third of it is stuff the wonk and hack community already knew, but it does pull it together nicely. 000

AndrewPaulWood @andrewpaulwood.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I'm a bit meh on casting Streep as Aslan's voice because not being American I don't revere her as some sacred Hollywood thing. Rebooting the whole timeline just so Greta can make TLTWATW about her own childhood, on the other hand, is a big red flag of American cultural imperialism. 000
