New Zealand employment fell for a fourth straight month in July, the longest slump since early 2009 when the economy was emerging from the global financial crisis.

Labour did put money into funding news media and oh wow the amount of complaining and conspiracy theories that ensued!
(Also a lot of quality journalism.)

Depends who does it. The morally bankrupt manipulators with lots of money to spend pushing their propaganda are the ones who should least be informing our opinions.

Yes, being a victim is important in forming the out group and bonding.
However, being “a victim because Substack closed my account” is a far smaller part of recruitment than Substack suggesting “readers like you also read”, or a donation site collecting money, or YouTube auto playing a video, etc, etc.
Stormfront, 8chan, Kiwifarms, no longer recruit fascism. Why? Because they got shut down.
That’s pretty good!
It’s also good to not wave, “read also” banners in front of viewers!

There can’t be age exemptions for income tax because suddenly the kids of rich parents will earn a lot of money and the parents are magically unpaid volunteers.
This is basic tax avoidance.

I didn’t even read your #NZpol toot.
I just imagined a voice ringing out over the Tannoy, “and now Peters out of the far right flying up the rear”.

This is one of my least favourite features of Mastodon.
I'm following an account named @npub1trd…ussx so why when I type @npub1trd…ussx does the interface suggest @stryper_is_the_best_band or whatever.

Nice to see my erstwhile colleague Dr Sporle discussing sampling methodology. Great stuff! That’s a good explanation.
