I have been trying and failing a half-decent fancy steamed milk pour almost daily for about 4 years.
I can fairly consistently make a drinkable one with nice froth. Making it look like a pro latte/flat white still eludes me

Weak policy is weak. It feels like Labour doesn't understand that you don't win the centre by POSITIONING in the centre, that just makes Labour look weak. Labour can win with MESSAGING to the centre. Win the narrative, and make policy bold enough to actually make a difference. #nzpol

Yeah see, this is a standard apologist tactic: avoid addressing the behaviour by talking about the person instead.
If someone said "i'm sick of seeing women on TV" saying they're a "lovely person" would be completely unhinged. This is no different

It's a typical tactic: make it personal. I don't know a thing about her so i won't call her racist.
But what she said was obviously, objectively racist. She was saying she wanted to see only white people.
It's important to call out the behaviour wherever you see it.

Yes - altho as a gen-xer neoliberal shit is stupid and leads to the country becoming a hellscape, i know many genxers who share this view... But anyway, yes these policies are popular with a certain section of the population - but i think that section is smaller than most people think.

White dude here. 100%. As a kid, I was curious as to how Germany let Nazis come to power... Which is instructive about current events. I was not ever, at all, even for a moment, curious about being one.
