I feel like a lot of guys called Al must be getting a negative reaction these days whenever we see their name … before we realise it doesn’t say AI.

This is one of mine. I recommend you listen to the audio if you can because I sound _great_ but also because the clips from the film add so much. www.rnz.co.nz/life/screens...

Love to see more light is being shown on the Atlas Network and its far-right agenda, and how close it is with David Seymour being reported on. #nzpol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Gott love it when (formerly) close colleagues turn on you and there’s a new humiliating story leaked each day until you’re destroyed.

I can’t understand how they’re using (or think they’re using) the word “honest” in this context.

Important thread. And yet I've not seen the media take this up any further than one report by One News.

It's rare you hear a journalist explain precisely what Brian Tamaki is doing when he attacks the LGBTQI community, and what he's lying about, and what motivated him instead of just mindlessly quoting whatever he says. John Campbell, solid dude.

It finally clicked: The reason "warfighter" sounds so stupid is because it's an idiot's attempt to flip the script on "peacekeeper", and it's been picked up by a bunch of other idiots who spend their lives imagining they're in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie from about 1989.

Peters is looking at the Yanks and saying "this is how much of a bully you're allowed to be", and as a nation we need to make our refutation of this behaviour loud and clear
