More from manipulator of #NZ election from his own mouth: “I would be delighted if we just carried on using MMP, just like it is. I can guarantee you right-wing government for foreseeable future.” MMP was designed to deliver proportionality, not this rort:

Winston pretending to care about Michael Laws disgusting language. He put Michael Laws at 6 on the list BECAUSE he’s inappropriate, he’s made a career of saying offensive things. Much like Shane Jones and Winston himself. Don’t insult New Zealand’s intelligence.

Corporate greed is Microsoft making $134 billion in profits last year, receiving $19 billion in tax breaks under Trump, paying a lower federal income tax rate than a nurse and getting rid of 60,000 workers.
“Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a total scam.

Ten days to go to #NZ election 🗳️. The opinion polls are tight. Every vote counts. Whatever your views, engage & vote. The election is about the future of our country. Very different futures are on offer. Change is clearly possible.

I am grateful to all of you who are trying to keep Europe and the United States together.
There are so many people with good hearts in America who sincerely want evil to lose and Ukraine to stand strong. These are the very hearts that helped Europe defend its freedom, and that fought on D-Day, won the Cold War, and want what is best for Europe. Hearts that want to be allies, not to divide or humiliate Europe. I believe most Americans still feel this way. And at the end of the day, the American people will have their say.
Putin will listen to America if America really turns up the heat on him and makes one thing clear – either he chooses peace, or he gets no more money for his war.
From an address to the participants of the European Council meeting. (2/5)

Woolworth's team leaders were on strike for an hour today. Why? The company wants to freeve their wages for up to 5 years.
Yep, 5 years.
Some others may get pay rises that are below inflation.
Email them your thoughts below.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

The fish rots from the head. When the Prime Minister’s office is actively and deliberately breaking the Official Information Act (Fonterra case) then it becomes normal for all ministers. rnz.co.nz/news/education/152…

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

New book by Eyal Weizman, “Ungrounding: The Architecture of Israel’s Genocide in #Gaza. Meticulously researched. “Multiple members of his team were killed over the course of the war—victims of the very campaign that they worked to document.” foreignpolicy.com/2026/08/04…
