California has an initiative on their ballot in November that could lead to higher taxes on billionaires, leading to him becoming concerned about the direction the country was going in, whereas Argentina has a right wing government who is happy to coddle the rich and stomp on the poor. Glad New...

I posted this article to the climate change thread, but there's been... developments since: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/594922/government-changes-climate-law-to-prevent-lawsuits See, it turns out that the companies being sued secretly met with the Prime Minister's staff and handed over...

And now some more propaganda. Thanks, Hollywood! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/michael-bay-to-direct-operation-epic-fury-rescue-movie-1236602590/

Recent developments: ACT have decided to weigh in on immigrants and want to introduce a new, stricter test immigrants have to pass before moving here. Because I guess they heard hating on immigrants is in at the moment. Te Pāti Māori have continuing strife: What happened was the party tried to...

Specifically most Wikis these days use the Creative Commons "CC BY-SA" license which allows anyone to share and remix the content however they like. The sticking point is the "BY-SA" part which adds two conditions, one of which copying-pasting the content violates. That condition is...

Fandom doesn't take down the old wiki when wikis move off, unfortunately. A big issue is that Fandom has no oversight when, say, a new user comes along and realises that a really easy way to contribute to the Fandom TF wiki is to just copy content from TFWiki. This is in violation of the...

Yeah, NZ First are firmly right-wing at this stage. I don't think there's any chance of them switching back to working with Labour as they have done previously. ACT also eliminated a gender pay equality law, because obviously no inequality exists ever so a law banning it is not necessary.

Nigel Farage in trouble because he didn't disclose a £5 million pound donation from a crypto billionaire made just days before he decided to run for parliament: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/apr/29/revealed-nigel-farage-was-given-undisclosed-5m-by-crypto-billionaire-in-2024

Latest developments: Winston Peters released some private emails between him and Chris Luxon in response to a Freedom of Information request, without consulting Luxon's office. Specifically they were some emails about the Iran war, showing that Luxon was all for speaking out in support of the US...

Sonic the Hedgehog approach not as effective as we were led to believe.

Where we're at at the moment: National is plunging in polls, and Chris Luxon is very unpopular. Luxon called a leadership vote in his party last weekend, which resulted in him winning, though no one is saying how much he won by. NZ First appears to be profiting from National's plunge, as their...

It's coming up to election time in NZ, so here's a rundown of where the country is at politically. May be slightly biased. Our current government is a right wing coalition made up of National, ACT and NZ First. Their main achievements so far have been raising unemployment back up to the level...

Judging by the security footage, there's a hole in that security doesn't expect someone to be running really fast. Less Agent 47 and more Sonic the Hedgehog.

I was going to make a joke about "claw" just reminding me of the villain from Inspector Gadget, but I googled and there is an actual AI tool out there named "Dr Claw". In conclusion: *facepalm*

Is this real?? I don't get what vibe "claw" is supposed to convey. Also saying "a personal AI assistant got me a job at Microsoft" definitely makes it sound like they cheated to get a job they were unsuited for.

Several of the MPs in the new government are ex-tobacco lobbyists, I'm sure no one will be surprised to hear. We have another election coming up in November, so fingers crossed we can kick them back out.
