The Israeli army is the most moral in the world but also if anyone denounces war crimes they will be identified and prosecuted. Any questions?

“Maybe the exclusion of comics from the official literary scene is a blessing, and it’s up to the rest of the arts community to sort out their own platforms.” Joshua Santospirito talks (and draws) himself out of demanding that comics be more widely included in literary festivals.

I'm sorry they abandoned legacy paths and reneged on civ switching, it's soured things a bit for me. Arc of Tomorrow could be fun but religion in exploration is so mortally tedious at the moment it's stopping me from wanting to start antiquity. I wish they fixed that before adding an age.

This is the forum at which, three election cycles ago, National MP Alastair Scott uttered the immortal phrase "love has consequences". Yet in aggregate somehow Rima Nakhle did even worse. ACT and NZ First were.... technically present.

Well done IHC for another successful disability election forum. Both Julie Anne Genter and Priyanca Radhakrishnan acquitted themselves very well, which was encouraging. Qiulae Wong also seemed okay, and it's good that she showed up. The National MP was a grotesque mess.

Bold move by Braunias to misspell your surname. Unless you did it on purpose so the piece would never be unearthed when you write your own memoir.

I'm not saying any of these policies are bad or offensive per se, but basically at this point the New Zealand Labour Party has become a subsidiary of the Consumer Institute. This is the kind of thing you bother to create a campaign event around when you don't have structural solutions to offer.

Yeah I don't know about the reliability of the tool and the dangling head is perfectly placed if the hoarding is double sided. Too perfectly for AI I would say.

A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

Plenty to criticise about both the party and the policies actually, and the debate within Māoridom is lively on both counts, but the context here is an obviously and incredibly racist full-page ad so yeah, maybe not the time or place.
