Mask Up Comments and Opinions

Fact, history, opinion, and sarcasm, with an occasional side dose of sass.
Primary function of being occasionally useful in between shitposting and ranting about politics! Expect bad language

Never trust a Tory or a Neoliberal

What we know about the coalition:

They will carry out their policies and the coalition agreement.
Everything else they say is lies.

Easy way to analyse any of their comments, media releases etc
#NZpol

Yep, wouldn't trust any of their assurances *at all*.

This is the same lot that made *election* promises about Dunedin hospital... oh wait, until they broke them. That their tax cuts were 'definitely costed'... oh wait, until forced to admit they weren't.

On and on their gaslighting goes.
I keep thinking about how Peters said the hīkoi was a waste of time because the bill isn't going to pass. But (a) I don't trust any of these arseholes to do what they say they will, and (b) if there was no pushback I'm sure Luxon et al would happily vote it through into law. #ToituTeTiriti #NZpol

We're going to steal people's ideas and content so people can use AI to produce stolen ideas and content. And then we're going to steal back a cut of anything you make from the stuff we all stole.
Lmao the bubble is fit to burst, boys

This is a hysterical and insane choice, I hope they follow through!

"The December quarter CPI result followed a 3% increase in prices in the previous September quarter, and 2.7% rise in the 12 months to June."

Paying the bills ‘eating away’ at people as inflation rises to 3.1%, outside the Reserve Bank target range
The increase was driven mostly by higher prices for electricity, rates and rent.

This is the most honest political ad you'll see this year. And it applies equally here.

However I suspect that just like here, the UK Green Party are subject to the same ridicule from media, political parties, and voters, as we see with ours. Despite them being the only straight talkers in the room
Help us make hope normal again.

Join the Green Party now.

2025 was a record-breaking year in the US for measles. But Texas—the epicenter of the 2025 outbreak—may prove to be the start of a deadly measles comeback. Now, 1 year after the Texas epidemic So. Carolina has seeded yet another major measles outbreak👇

Tuesday marks one year since a measles outbreak started in West Texas, and there have been more new cases in the United States each week since.

Does Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper have caffeine in? Should probably have checked that before drinking a litre of it.

In my defence, the guy on the table next to the drink machine was explaining what is and isn't mansplaining to his visibly bored date. So most of my focus was on that scene playing out.

So I take it we are going to have National electioneering, billboards, wasteful letterbox pamphlets and Luxons tik Tok face over EVERYTHING for the next 11 months until the election.

While they forget to run the actual country.

Kaleb Blain, a 35-year old trans man and pitmaster, was fired from the legendary BBQ restaurant Terry Black’s after he was doxxed over Charlie Kirk comments.

Now he’s running his own barbecue spot in Waco: “I feel better than I ever have.”

You absolutely should read this. The batshit swing to fascism in western democracies is not unusual or unexpected if you look at global events. All connected by the same type of people. Uber rich tech bros dreaming of having fiefdoms
With other researchers, I have been tracking venture capital, tech fascism and Network State activity in countries across Africa and wanted to share a few notes. The situation is escalating and we are looking at similar patterns happening across Africa as we have seen in Latin America.

i honestly think there’s a strong argument to be made that there shouldn’t be global streaming services.

services should be controlled nationally and studios shouldn’t be allowed to run their own. they should have to license content to companies that only (or mostly) do streaming.
