it’s very fun to watch rightwingers make up insane bullshit and laugh at them for “believing” it but it’s a very intentional strategy to flood the online ecosystem with their narratives. they don’t believe all the shit they say but it serves their ends if everyone is talking about them all the time

Justin Tipa’s speech far out did the one Luxon gave. Hopefully some of it makes the rounds

Crazy how people can write in support of this bill without even hand waving how on its face inappropriate it is to change an agreement between two parties without consulting one of those parties

There's teething problems in the new school lunches system and then there's a primary school head on RNZ confirming halal meals had ham in them. And that he has had to warn parents he isn't confident the meat in the other halal meals is actually halal.

Sandra Goudie’s oral submission on the treaty bill this morning is the most racist one I’ve seen. Arguing that Māori have special access to challenge the govt is absurd! The Waitangi Tribunal exists because the standard institutions ignored us! We couldn’t even vote in general electorates until 1967

There is no reason to change the name of a long established part of the map because the president says so. But then again the CEO of Google was on stage with front row inauguration seats.
uhhh - www.cnbc.com/2025/01/27/g... Google. Maps will show "Gulf of America" after Trump insists...
Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates
In posts on X on Monday, Google said it will follow the government's lead in changing the names on its Maps app.
