National: No Scruples. Fixed it for you, Simeon Brown.

Altered image that Simeon Brown posted of National's new billboard. The "no new taxes", alongside their lie about "9 new taxes" under a labour led government, has been changed to "no scruples".

My main problem was that I want most of the information within my browser window without scrolling. Also don't really care much for the images (though kept them here for the top 6 articles, and then listed the other articles as text at the edge).

National: Fumbling the Basics / Bungling the Future

Altered image of Chris Luxon standing in front of National party branding/slogans. The slogans have been altered to read "Fumbling the Basics" and "Bungling the Future".

To be fair to myself, I did have trouble finding (locally) lentils that hadn't been processed in a plant that also processes gluten containing grains, but I still should've used it for something else.

This is a man who fundamentally sees not a single solitary valuable thing about research except any monetary return it can provide, and what his government is doing to our research system illustrates this perfectly

I hated the RNZ redesign so much that I vibe-coded my own Firefox plugin, lol. It doesn't look the greatest, but at least I can see 14 articles on the homepage without scrolling. 😂

Eww. The item title font on the RNZ website is more difficult to read and they've also put fewer news items on the front page. Looks like a cheaper copy of the BBC World site. :(

Live, laugh, levies (definitely not a tax).

An image taken from before the 2023 election of Chris Luxon holding up a sticker that had the text "LIVE, LAUGH, LUXON". The image has been modified, changing the text on the sticker to "LIVE, LAUGH, LEVIES".

During lockdown we had a "Family Taskmaster" every week. One person would set the task/judge and we would have some time (usually an hour or 2) to complete it before we would all join a video chat to reveal what we had done. My profile pic is from one where we had to reproduce a famous work of art.

And, it seems that QR code wouldn't actually be on the packaging, but likely on the shelf that it's sold on, so you can't check anything that others have purchased easily, or easily re-check it once you've taken it home from the store. 🤬

These guys are dangerous idiots. It's tiresome enough already having to read, and re-check, the labels on everything that I eat, and now they want to have me scan a QR code to get to that information.

Denying redress to abuse in care survivors who've committed crimes is unconscionable. Essentially they're saying the Crown will only show remorse for their failings to people who don't show their damage on the outside.

A small wrinkle in the Jobseeker policy

The government’s recent changes to benefits feel like this: the house is on fire, and this policy is them turning off the smoke alarm and saying it’s fixed
