“The private conversations in the Young Republicans’ Telegram chat were only marginally more racist and hateful than the language that’s out in the open, common on the most popular podcasts in America,” our columnist David French writes.

This on nature and urban design in Copenhagen almost makes me want to weep. In our current debate nature is framed as the enemy, a "blocker", of development when, in fact, it almost defines quality of urban life. This is what our future should look like- for all.

“I’ve told the story of Akromiya for twenty years. I’m telling it again now, because today is No King’s Day, and I am afraid that “Antifa” is the American Akromiya: a fabricated entity made by state propagandists to persecute anyone who opposes the government.”

Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

Tariffs are taxes on Americans

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

When Judith "apologised" for saying teachers earn $147k, she then got another dig in by saying that teachers get 3 months holiday a year. By that measure, do MPs only work on the days parliament is sitting (about 90 days according to Google)? #NZPol
