This is so fucking good. They’re perfectly nailing so many of Rogan, Kreischer, and Trussel’s little mannerisms while doing it, too. Not just obvious ones, either.

To be scrupulously fair to Alito, he doesn't really believe women are people, so I guess it isn't surprising that he doesn't think they have concrete reliance interests.

Labour neolibs still committed to their 1980s policies of transferring public assets into private hands eh. If NZTA have "spare land" on their books it should go back to the local iwi it was almost certainly originally stolen from. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Labour to require NZTA to potentially give up spare land for petrol stations
It's part of a policy aimed at improving competition in the sector.

If you took the $800 million National want to spend on 11km of road and shared it equally between all South Island Councils they'd each get $38 million to spend on roads which would have a wider net positive on roads than 11km of north Christchurch highway.

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Keep in perspective, though, that Rockstar won't in any way be penalized for this. LGBTQ+ writers, artists, and game designers are being banned from places like Itchio and Patreon, by payment processors like MasterCard and PayPal, for depicting "hugging," "kissing," and "plus-sized figures."

And that reveals the other concerning aspect: here the tribunal’s power is advice-giving and dialogical. Why would a govt and Parliament not want the benefit of advice from an expert body and one that has deep-dived evidentially into a particular policy or law?

Nonsense. In this context, the tribunal’s claims are only recommendatory. In other words, it is up to the Crown and Parliament (rightly or wrongly) whether it heeds the advice of the tribunal or not.

The Act/NZF manifesto proposals to abolish the Waitangi Tribunal or end its contemporary claims jurisdiction are concerning for a number of reasons. Esp troubling is the claim (here eg from NZF) that the tribunal is interfering in the law-making process in an undemocratic way.

I also believe in restorative justice but I don't think that means you get to become a pillar of a community and garner an audience and an income that relies solely on everyone including yourself staying silent about your actions. In the VIDEO GAME SPHERE no less.

I think what I resent the most is that all of us, especially the women who worked with him, were a part of his rehabilitation (at least image-wise) without us ever getting to choose if that was something we wanted to participate in. He didn't let us or his audience make a choice. How ironic.
