A screenshot in two halves. Top and bottom. The top half is a photo of an old VW car, I think it’s a 1st generation golf approx age 80s/90s although most likely wrong about that. Text above this car in black on white back ground says. “20 year old car” in my head The bottom half shows a photo of a 20 year old silver Audi. The black text on white background just above the image says: “20year old car.” In reality.

Not gonna lie, this hurt my feelings.

It would save way more money to fire your shitty nazi CEO and gradually build back your brand trust than to lose *even more money* by having a figurative fire sale on your swasticars in an effort to recoup lost revenue.
But I am not a business person so WTF do I know.

NZ Herald Peters says he has no doubts Swarbrick's rhetoric on Gaza incited vandalism on home as man charged

Highlighted text about attacks on Maipi-Clarke: Peters told Newshub that notion was wrong, adding that he was not responsible for the actions of other people

When Maipi-Clarke was attacked, Peters denied responsibility, saying he was "not responsible" for the actions of other people. But today he is laying blame on Chloe Swarbrick and the "hate filled left" #nzpol #kiwi

Willis: One NZ should re-think ads with protester who gave out Winston Peters’ address The activist, who gave out the home address of Foreign Minister Winston Peters and encouraged other pro-Palestine protesters to join, is also one of the faces of One NZ’s advertising campaigns.

Cancel culture is good now, apparently.

RNZ almost never publishes "political opinions" but today they & Stuff/The Post published one defending Nicola Willis's handling of the economy.

The author is Dennis Wesselbaum - from lobby group NZ Initiative, where Luxon/Willis reportedly get economic policies from

RNZ is shot #nzpol #kiwi

Cue a "pretty relaxed actually" side-step explanation of why this is good actually and just shows how much Labour agrees with everything Luxon says.

Luxoff hard at work at Eden Park rather than the United Nations in New York

Did anyone else notice that the reason given that Luxoff wasn't at the UN to announce our position on Palestine was "scheduling"?

The scheduling🤬

If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it!

That’s just me though.

In today’s HeraldOnSunday

Knew this was coming when we didn't line up with the others a few days ago, and Luxon was all like "nothing to do with me, ask Winston."
Wrong side of history.

An ‘election changing’ 55,000 votes could be barred under controversial new law The Government’s changes to voting laws will see a 400% increase in “disallowed” votes, the Electoral Commission says.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith warns government prepared to remove tikanga Māori from court rulings The minister claims New Zealand's "bespoke" legal system could discourage overseas investment.

Goldsmith is worried about sovereign risk from court recognition of tikanga Māori

But the real sovereign risk comes from a govt that has repeatedly meddled with the independence of courts and legal proceedings for cynical self-serving ideological reasons

Win what? What exactly are you winning? This was a fascism vs capitalism battle and in this case capitalism came out on top. But if capitalism can benefit more from cosying up to fascism you better believe that's what it'll do.
You might think you've won a battle but you've already lost the war.

If you see this, post a bridge (am I doing this right?).

I fear somebody in the Australian government may have misunderstood the meaning of pull requests

It's astounding the number of entitled, arrogant dictators who are so damn sure of their own infallibility and capability that they have time in their day to be doing other people's jobs for them on top of their own.

New Zealand media institutions have been running stories on the murder of an obscure US podcaster for the better part of a week, and I'm not sure I like what that says about the editorial judgment of those organisations.
