A brilliant letter from a Party leader who genuinely cares about the plight of humans struggling to make their lives even remotely palatable, to a Home Secretary who once shared the same sentiments.

Right-wing commentators were *obsessed* with what they fancied was the former Labour govt's control of the media. Yet now we have what looks like direct political interference with reporting that ministers didn't like. Far out. newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/04/t...

But only 1 in 35 homes here has rooftop solar.

Why? I tried to find out - despite some strange secrecy

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Italy is the prime example of this so-called moral hazard problem. When the country joined the eurozone in 1999, its borrowing costs fell sharply to match Germany’s. The savings were enormous. Over 15 years, the Italians could have paid off their entire national debt. Instead, Italian governments spent the windfall on consumption. The debt barely moved. Why would Eurobonds produce a different outcome? Greece tells the opposite story. Under pressure from creditors, it restructured its economy, digitised its health system and consolidated its public finances. Its debt-to-GDP ratio has dropped from over 200 percent to around 150 percent. Painful, yes, but it worked. Eurobonds would remove exactly the pressure that made Greece’s turnaround possible.

Begging for basic fact checks. These conflicted NZI ghouls appear to be able to simply take-up column inches because (a) media needs content, and (b) their sponsors pay their wages. And, when they get those inches, they basically lie through their teeth to shape opinion. Let's have a look [🧵 1/n]

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

do we understand why using the term 'move on' in the headline, even in quotes, is bad journalism?
do we understand how it directly creates cover for social murder?
if so, why are nz media outlets *still* doing this?
