This is the largest book I own. Paperback for scale #books

Two books on a table one is standard paper back. The other is a much, much larger book. It dwarfs the paper back.

@henrycooke.bsky.social Can you please ask the parties about asset sales? Luxon has said in the past that everything would be for sale in a second term. Is this something they’re seeking a mandate for or will it just be sprung on us if they’re returned to power? We deserve to know. #nzpol

New Zealanders know our infrastructure is falling apart and they know that the super wealthy are not paying their fair share. They want a country that works for all of us, which is why they want a wealth tax.

My partner went to an event last night during which she found the crazies we know are getting more crazed. She absolutely refused to listen to any of it - particularly when one started on about god, the devil, Atlantis, and AI - yup, all one conspiracy. Just fucking nuts. #NZ #Crazies #Cookers

Heard a great line there (apparently from Neil Delamere) that it used to be that in Britain they had heatwaves as often as they changed Prime Ministers and now they have heatwaves as often as they change Prime Ministers. Very clever.

The Free Speech Union having their CE and board member stand as candidates for Internet NZ and emailing their members to rank them 1 and 2 and not rank any other candidates feels like it should be more of a news story. It's antithetical to a genuine election and the democratic process.

If the people you are paying to write a curriculum need to use "AI tools" to "check and generate content", you are paying the wrong people and you should actually not have dumped the people who are capable of these core tasks.

I agree this looks like these folks have been left in a terrible situation. But the Council is also right that it's actually required to follow the law as it currently exists. Bit alarming the alleged rule of law fans in the ACT party seem to think that's optional.

#NZpol Capturing this "for the record", esp. as I haven’t seen anything about it elsewhere. The National party fairly quickly deleted their post. On the face of it, deleting the post tacitly admits they made a false claim.

On X, Graeme Edgeler quotes a post by the official NZ National Party account, @NZNationalParty.

The text in the photo of the National Party post shows Nicola Willis looking up, with the words "WE'VE REDUCED GOVERNMENT DEBT BY $6 BILLION".

Graeme Edgler’s quoted post reads -

“I now have the explanation. This may legitimately be the most dishonest political ad I have ever seen in the wild.
Government debt is up.
Government debt is budgeted to continue to go up.
In zero sense has Government debt reduced.”

The National party fairly quickly deleted their post.
