The first time I posted this, Zohran was down 30 points. We had never met and we were in a room full of famous people. Absolutely nobody knew who he was, so we were able to talk Onion headlines uninterrupted for ten minutes.
This was five months ago. Now he's one of the most important people alive.

The lesson - and this is a repeat class, as we've learned this lesson before - is that if there is a right side of history, Tony Blair will be on the other side.

PIKE RIVER made me sad, it made me laugh, it made me angry, and it made me mourn an Aotearoa we might have lost.
All reasons to see it, and great getting into some of the more difficult feelings that surfaced when talking to the awesome @melanielynskey.bsky.social and Robyn Malcolm

PIKE RIVER adds weight to Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse's voice just when our country and workers need it most.
Fittingly strong actors play Anna and Sonya onscreen - two of our country’s very best, Melanie Lynskey and Robyn Malcolm - who spoke about the film with @stevenewall.bsky.social

#nzpol I never thought that I would see the day when the Public Service Commission was used as an attack arm of the government. National Party polling must be telling them how popular the strikes are, and how unpopular they are. They are afraid.

Yet another fake anti-Ticketmaster group obviously funded by resellers has launched. Their standard tactic: try to dupe people into opposing artists’ and venues’ proposed new laws.
