Hosking threatens us with a good time (his promise to leave the country if the left wins) every election and he has never done it because he’s paid too much to sit in a studio and make older people scared of their shadows to want to go anywhere else.

Death threats are more than just trolls and keyboard warriors - they seek to make people smaller, make them afraid to speak their values, and push them out of politics altogether They cost us time and money, and the donations are already stacked against us. It's time for us to have a real democracy

Based on some of the tweets I’ve seen come from wealthy coalition donors who can definitely afford the very expensive narcotic whose use is on the rise, I’d rather have those donors drug tested and NZF voters put through conversion therapy.

It was before the first break lol. 31 false or misleading statements by my count

By my quick count, 31 false or misleading statements from Luxon. 1 from Hipkins that was corrected.

At least 5 demonstrably false statements from Luxon in his opening statements

I love the reaction to Labour’s costings from National. National who has been fact checked multiple times by the AAP. National who was called out by the ASA for misleading voters. National who use AI slop and lies on their social media every damned day. They call it “dishonest”.

And the creepiest was discussions about the mokos appearance - he’s blond haired and blue eyed. “Looks like one of us” “he’ll fit in really well here with those looks”. In light of the Jago issues in particular, this is super creepy. And so I’m staying well away from any Act event ever.

As we were walking through we got stopped half a dozen times by middle eyed and old white men who took it on themselves to come up and poke and prod the moko with gross comments like “I’m glad we got you before you turned woke” and “good to start them young”

The crowded foyer included the ghosts of Don Brash, Margaret Murray Benge and John Banks. Looming in corners. It was a vibe and not a good one. But that wasn’t the worst part. My 4 year old grandson freaked at the crowd so I picked him up to walk through the room.

With the Act party launch today, I’m staying well away from the place. 3 years ago I accidentally stumbled into the launch they had at Skycity. I was taking the moko to visit Weta and it was traumatic for both of us.

This week we’re looking at claims Chloe Swarbrick is the devil! Well, how she’s turned into a metaphorical one by media and the right political parties. 10am Sunday - all linked in the bio.

Come join me on my live stream on facebook, YouTube and Instagram tomorrow at 10am! Each weekend we look at a different media study theory to help people see that the world isn’t exactly on fire, but there’s a lot of right wing influence that makes it seem like it is.

Hey Bluesky New Zealand!! Can you help spread the message this weekend?! Yeah sure this is just one video, but so many people haven’t enrolled yet and don’t realise they are running out of time. Thank you! 🇳🇿

I really hope once the election is over, there’s some good quality research into the campaigns because the infiltration of bots, the use of bs, the normalised extremism on msm and impacts of astroturfing and money, need to be looked at to see how we fucked up the system so badly.

National have been using them on Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook as portrait content, NZ First has been promoting on X and Facebook a flashy site down fake interview with Winston.
