There are a few people explaining what it's about, more making fun of the conspiracy theorists. But yeah, a solid group of people, many of them real accounts, spouting absolute batshit fantasy nonsense. Meet your neighbours.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

I think the Auckland CRL has shown Kiwis love trains. And now the Greens step in and say “What about the CRL, but for the whole country?” And people, who remember love the CRL, are saying “Yes! Choo choo motherfucker!”, and hopefully choo choo motherfucker we shall. #nzpol

I think it was 1998, when I flew from WA to Auckland, then caught the overnight train to P.North. it was lovely to be rocked to sleep by the motion, waking briefly now and then to look out at our beautiful whenua for the first time in 4 years, then doze again. More trains please, AoNZ, go the Greens

Looking through some old stuff and found this cartoon I cut out c1996. They just never really have new ideas, just new packaging. (For younger readers - right wing think tank the NZ Initiative formed out of a merger of the NZ Business Roundtable and the NZ Institute in 2012.)

Photo of a black and white cartoon with a bunch of men sitting around an executive board table. A sign in front reads “Quiet please, Roundtable in session”. From left to right they are saying:
“The govt should get out of education and health…”
“We need more contestability in social welfare…”
“the govt should sell ACC and the post office…”
“We should privatise electricity and roading…”
“Seen the polls? Winston could be the next PM”
“That’s disgraceful. What happened to the New Zealand we all knew and loved?”

Another bold populist infra policy that is IMMEDIATELY leading the conversation - the Greens have done the impossible and WINSTON PETERS has had to rush to agree with it Fantastic to see this kind of policy finally being developed, promoted and communicated by the Greens - hope they have follow-up!

This is a good headline! It refuses to amplify the false claim by using "wrongly", and includes the truth in the headline for everyone who doesn't read the full story (which is mostly everyone). It's also compelling clickbait for those ad guys. Now do this all the time!

shirley jackson you tell em www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

ar and away the greatest menace to the writer—any writer, beginning or otherwise
—is the reader. The reader is, after all, a kind of silent partner in this whole business of writing, and a work of fiction is surely incomplete if it is never read. The reader is, in fact, the writer's only unrelenting, genuine enemy. He has everything on his side; all he has to do, after all, is shut his eyes, and any work of fiction becomes meaningless. Moreover, a reader has an advantage over a beginning writer in not being a beginning reader; before he takes up a story to read it, he can be presumed to have read everything from Shakespeare to Jack Kerouac. No matter whether he reads a story in manuscript as a great personal favor, or opens a magazine, or—kindest of all—goes into a bookstore and pays good money for a book, he is still an enemy to be defeated with any kind of dirty fighting that comes to the writer's mind.

Because of gender and ethnic pay gaps in Aotearoa, Pacific women are now working for free until the end of the year. This election year, we need to vote for pay equity. It’s the only way to make sure that all working people are respected, valued, and paid what they’re owed. #nzpol

Worth remembering that if it costs the government $4.5b to reverse the gender pay tax, then it costs the women affected $4.5b to leave it in place.
