I don't think they did actually copypaste this. The Post did that themselves πŸ™„

The Post will have copypasted this verbatim from Associated Press, but it's seriously disingenuous to spin Lula as anti-democratic following Bolsonaro being sentenced for planning to stage a coup.

This is manufacturing consent to justify the tarriff and impose sanctions

Yeah it's easy to fall into convenience and stick to what you know when it comes to subscription services and membership

Good news! NZ union density has been steadily increasing among workers aged 15-44 for the last 9 years, and increased significantly in the year after the Coalition took power in 2023. [1/4]

It's depressing that New Zealand is about to become the latest success in Uber's regulatory arbitrage campaign.

This is one of hers I haven't seen but upon hearing about it it kinda just sounds like The Talented Mr Ripley but a bit worse

Or she's known what she's doing all along, which is be edgy for the sake of edgy and let the audience try and make meaning out of it. Doesn't really work when you're doing an adaptation

I watched Promising Young Woman yesterday, accidentally in time for the panned reviews of Wuthering Heights to come out, and yeah all I'll say is I don't think Emerald Fennel has ever known what she's doing.

Yeah they are a bit like that. I feel like you get out what you put in and like with most things, it's how you approach it

A photo of Brooke Van Valden striding happily next to David Seymour who has an expression perhaps best likened to a very drunk man who is in the midst of shitting himself. In the bottom right corner is the act logo. 

Above them the text β€˜Any limits on workers’ human rights are justified to reduce risks to employers’.

We've got to resist US hegemony, fight for a free Palestine and free Pacific and a world free of imperialism, and not stop or get complacent when or if Labour gets back in

FBI to open standalone office in Wellington The US policing agency's boss, Trump appointee Kash Patel, has been seen in the capital in recent days.

Fuuuuuuuck oooooooff. Our government are determined to keep sucking up to the biggest bully on the playground. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

I think "let's open membership and bring everyone together to decide what the party is about", is, from experience, quite bad. You already know what you want the party to be about, and you just end up with a bunch of resentful people.

Green Councillors should not get away with asset sales β€” 1/200 On Budget Day, while tens of thousands were out protesting the budget and the attacks on Tino Rangatiratanga, I was over the hill, in Bargaining at one of my sites in the Wairarapa, checking my phon...

New article from @yardsoflenin.bsky.social about the Wellington Airport sale and what it means for left-wing movements and their ostensible representatives.

People who would have been driven away are the same people who bring the worst energy to the stadiums and bars, and who drive others away with that behaviour.

I don't think it was the primary goal but I'm here for the Poua laying down some terms

No wrong time to take a stand but if there was ever an opportune time it's now, when they have little to lose and a lot to gain.

Racists, right wingers and people who don't think sport and politics should mix can and will just keep supporting the men.
