„woke mind virus“ a convenient conspiracy theory label that covers a wide variety of progressive opinion, it infers an infection, associating its targets with loss of agency and disease so they can be dehumanised and discredited by those who feel threatened by their opinion.

RT @RichardHills_: When you see the things you fought for, come to life! Took this “after shot” of Te Hā Noa on the way to the bus. What wa…

@josh_robb I agree that this is not simple and that public interest journalism needs to transition away from ad based business models as that has corrupted them. Simply removing funding is wrong way better management and the financial dynamics change but not global mega private orgs

@josh_robb Overseas too! But at least the majority of jobs and indirect activity is local. There is an economic and social contribution local institutions make that is bigger than the P+L

@joshbarrnz Is there such a thing as a long lived micro frontend, like their microservice brethren it should be a time limited existence as micro, before integrating back into or growing itself into a bigger deployable. The micro-x style technique works around legacy sociatechnical probs?

@balajis What is retvrn mean? Is it a return to some previous order does the v imply something? Best answer is somewhere new, I believe humanity is proven to be good at always getting better as soon as we start using the loaded terms above we lose imagination. We are in control always

@joshbarrnz He lost Hooten ages ago I don’t think he ever did have him and Hooten is a well known grudge merchant, not an asset or particularly useful commentator

ACT have done a great job of creating a wedge issue and creating outrage on all sides. Hope the majority holds and the coalition parties can see it for the brazen step to stoke outrage to boost Seymour’s profile at the expense of the intent of multiple generations.

@andrewbutel I like many traditional National supporters and past MPs/PMs are deeply cynical of the leaderships wish washy language that although they received no mandate at the election for this discussion the individuals appear supportive of it, if they weren’t they would of not given 6mths

@andrewbutel Note in case not clear from this tweet, I am against the bill going to a select committee it isn’t ready for precisely the reasons that people are marching, ACT did our country and unity a massive disservice. ACT if they were serious would have looked for bipartisan support 1st

@andrewbutel Charity, solidarity and reasoned discussion has been lost replaced with fear, hate and gloating on all sides for personal profit. We need more focus on that type of thinking, not less we do best together. Sad days, we can be better, even comedy has gone dark and hateful.

@brettroberts FIGJAM energy is strong in Chris

@brettroberts @parsley72 Any sort of intelligence in the beehive would be good, at least ChatGPT contains knowledge and has logical integrity in vast majority of its responses

@joshbarrnz @ClintVSmith Correction ACT only talks about tax payers and consumers while looking to enable their lobbyists to capture regulation , undermine public institutions and ensure that private corporations achieve ultimate sovereignty.
