Remember when Kathleen Stock got a sympathetic hour-long interview with Kim Hill on RNZ? Good times. Anyway here she is offering unqualified support to a writer who was just revealed to be - in the words of her own texts submitted in court - "definitely a Nazi"

It turns out the problem with the cancer drugs was that National didn't know about Pharmac so I've suggested a few other existing processes and pieces of legislation the government could also look into. Nobody can suggest I'm not helpful thespinoff.co.nz/politics/02-...

really interesting situation developing where almost every week the same minister has to come out and justify a new almost parodically Dickensian crackdown on something you never expected like "poor people eating soup"

If I remember right from high school, suffering a steering failure and crashing into the verge was a classic thing to do with a Toyota Corolla so if you think about it this is just Kiwirail following instructions

Though it pains me physically and spiritually to do so, I should thank Dave for giving it a home, as surprisingly not every publication leaped at the chance to publish a lengthy meditation on pain. If you get something out of it and have money, you could subscribe to his blog www.webworm.co

Feel like Christians used to have the most unhinged stag dos. I went to one once where they just abducted a guy from a family picnic. Another where they tied the groom down and had a dog eat peanut butter off his thighs. Did you attend one of these? Please DM me for Webworm

I've never seen something so consuming. Not even vaccines really. One thing that heartened me recently: apparently the NZ First bill was brought up on Newstalk ZB. Colin heard it and thankfully it appears to still be a marginal issue among the more normie right

She's whatever the equivalent is of a vexatious litigant is for the Media Council. Anyone anywhere writes or says anything about trans issues and a complaint will almost certainly follow. I know it deters trans allies from speaking up

true! I guess they can kind of point at the ambient noise of the cost of living crisis and handwave about 'Labour's incompetence" but they really haven't made the case in a specific enough way for people to be okay with everything

I worry that the solution to this seems to be "take away expensive broadcast products and do online video instead". But where will those videos be primarily hosted and viewed? On the same platforms that currently throttle your traffic on a whim and take most of your revenue
