It’s a material reality that right now the AI tech bubble is holding up the empire. It increasingly powers all commerce, and is central to the most invasive surveillance apparatus the world has ever seen. Predictive analytics trained on our data have allowed billionaires to track us like wildlife.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators

…and then call yourself a hero for pulling the plug.

Seeing as Winston Peters is seeking a 10 year sentence for a person that broke his windows I am looking forward to him calling for life imprisonment for the death threats sent to Benjamin Doyle.

19-year-old charged after sending death threats to Green MP who since resigned

Detective Inspector Warren Olsson said the nature and volume of the threats met the threshold for investigation and subsequent prosecution.

"A video from the massacre a few minutes ago in al-Sabra neighborhood in #Gaza City.

A multi-floor house was bombed while families were inside, thinking it was safe after the ceasefire was announced...

...40 people are trapped beneath the rubble.

If you are a WHITE mom or dad who is a US citizen it's time to check with your neighbors and see if you can pick up their kids at school when you get your kids.

Let me guess, everything Chorus has installed is included in the sale?

So it would be yet another piece of our country's infrastructure being maintained by a private company?

Sure glad those landlords got a tax cut though. Can people cross the Cook Straight yet?

The Finance Minister says with the completion of the ultra-fast broadband fibre initiative, there's no longer a policy reason for the Crown to own Chorus.

As someone who worked at Telecom and knew how much they fought to retain control of the local loop even though it was completely anti-competitive and maintained a monopoly - the idea of privatising our fibre network is so unfathomably stupid and will result in poorer services for everyone.
