Luxon: "We don't actually see a need for hate speech laws."

Since hate speech is now almost exclusively a product of right wing political actors, is anyone surprised that RW parties don't want to do anything about it and instead prefer to talk about their support for "free" speech?

Deflect and dissemble, all the while giving the tacit wink and nod to violent extremists. They know where they will get the money, and hence the votes.

@strypey This is an earlier iteration, with the stylus touchscreen but not the swivel. It was in daily use for 5-6 years with various Linux distros replacing the glacial Windows default. Dunno if I will get the touchscreen drivers issue solved this time around.

Orr: Raises OCR to "control inflation" by putting people out of work and creating hardship and misery for families.

Also Orr: Tells banks to be nice and not put the interest burden on households.

Tell me how this knob keeps his credibility?

Commemorate Parihaka? YES

Mark it with exploding rockets and fireballs, symbols of war? NO

How does one coherently argue that the way to honour a selfless act of nonviolent resistance is to blow stuff up, terrorise pets and livestock, and destroy property?

@lightweight @rach Part of it is plain old racism coupled with what I call aspirational class warfare. Certain white working class folk will support policies that make them suffer as long as they make the brown people suffer worse.

One of the things that wise grownups used to say to me when I was little was this:

If you resort to violence to "win" an argument, your position is the wrong one.

Hate merchants know that what they are peddling is inferior, so their messages are coded with force. Now they are turning their attention to those shining light on the workings of populist disinfo campaigns.

I don't see this heading anywhere good. Tautoko Kate Hannah for putting everyone's safety first.

Dug out my old Fujitsu Lifebook from the turn of the century. It boots up - both the XP and Dapper partitions still work. Doing apt-get upgrade right now and going to see if I can get the touchscreen going again.

Yes, there is a purpose...I need a signal generator to output a TTL message stream so that I can write and test a listener for an IoT project.

The only thing worse than our broken political economy is the idiocy that passes for commentary on it. All these solemn pronouncements from Bank Economists about the need to increase unemployment (you first, assholes), but not a whisper of taxing the windfall profits of banks, energy companies, and the grocery chains.

Huge ups to Julie Ann Genter and the #NZGreens for proposing a fix:

@Br3nda But I would surmise that all the low-lying parts of Wairarapa are problematic from a flood risk standpoint. The area was swampland, after all.

@Br3nda I think it's sloppy writing. Masterton "in Wellington" can only refer to the district's location in GWRC.

Lots of the Far North is on the list. Most East Coast communities are at risk. So is the bulk of the Kāpiti Coast. There will be a huge cost to whatever course of action is decided, but getting out of harm's way makes the most long-term sense.

@craftygardennz @nzjudi I think my partner dodged the bullet this time round. We kept our distance for an entire week and used an air purifier in the lounge/dining area.
