Too many cooker-inclined among them, plus others who also campaigned on reducing safer-streets initiatives. Such things are wasteful, apparently.

Lordy, he is PATHETIC. Is he going to do the same for the pins worn by ACT MPs? Because those are definitely political.

Again comparisons of who is talking to who show something interesting.

1News’ coverage reported what financial/investment people thought.

By contrast if you read people with technical backgrounds who understand what AI _is_, from the inside as it were, you read a lot of concern.

- I found comparing what one politician (Casey Costello) sung to her fans informative. Her piece was a rant reeking of ideological motivation.

The comparison of what she sold to fans suggests the pitch to media is, essentially, a cover story.

It’s here for anyone wanting to see it for themselves: www.nzfirst.nz/puberty-bloc...

This isn’t the (pretend) "measured words" presented elsewhere – meant to mollify – but her singing to her fan base. It reveals the real basis of this: raging, blind, ideological hatred, laid out plainly.

Two thoughts:

- rather than "just" repeat _what_ the politicos say, I’m often left wishing for _why_ they are saying it, and what they get out of it

Sadly, I see on RNZ this morning that BvV came across as uninterested in anything other than employers.

Or, in Seymour's case, one or a few phone calls.

They don't take any notice. They don't take any notice of emails, and they don't take any notice of submissions, and they don't take any notice of marches or strikes. They take no notice of experts or academics or even their own public servants' advice. These fuckers do not give 1/100th of a shit

Hardly a surprise given this lot's attitude to climate change.
