Super cool we're having February weather in November. Not concerning at all.

"That “Classic Plan” option only appeared if a customer went to cancel their subscription.

Consumer NZ called that a “flagrant breach of goodwill and trust” and lodged a complaint with the Commerce Commission, which decided against a formal investigation but did send [MS] a warning letter."

The brilliant performative politics of NZ First’s fake members’ bills NZ First MPs keep proposing laws they have no intention of passing, and the media falls for it every time.

This is Bucket List quality stuff, people. The unlock code for early bird purchase is "SPIKE" btw.

Peters says ‘enough is enough’ as fireworks ban gets new parliamentary push The latest effort to ban sales comes as MPs prepare to consider three petitions on the issue, including one backed by 90,000 signatures – and thousands of pawprints.<br />

A little example, I think, of how our political media generally struggles to zoom out and look at systemic issues, not just react to the news of the day.

There is a story here; it's not about fireworks. It's about NZ First's abuse of the members' Bill ballot to generate headlines.

When I heard Dr Nick Chamberlain on #RNZ saying that the measles vaccine is not like Covid, it's a scientifically proven vaccine... I pulled over to see what his role is...

Wow, that's a strange comment to hear from the Health NZ National Director.

I'm watching Educators on tvnz+ and some time ask me what it was like in the same drama class as Jackie van Beek and Taika Waititi (and TCGW's Andrew Mulligan)

In case you're wondering who's representing the third, fifth and seventh defendants in the defamation action against Tamaki et al, it's this guy.

Also, Joe M has correctly voted against a traitor 37.5% of the time, which is the best voting record beyond Ruth's 50% hit rate (before getting unalived)

David is the only player still in the game who hasn't voted against a traitor yet.

In the week Jonathan was ejected he was the only faithful who didn't vote against him (he voted Nick instead). He also voted against Stephen 3/7 times.

If Alan / Cat can swing his vote they're home.
