Juggernaut season 2 is out! It’s the story of the 90s in NZ politics, the decade that shaped our world just as much as the 80s but is far less examined. I was very honoured to help with the research. Out now whereever you get your podcasts.

New York is a-changin'. Our final ad just dropped.

Access to dental care shouldn’t be a luxury – Shane Te Pou

Wrote this on how the Govt’s restrictions on 18- & 19-year old Jobseekers are a human failure, an economic failure,+revealing of a cruel streak in Luxon’s leadership: https://t.co/jx3KUJqT5V. Polling suggests NZ wants to move beyond beneficiary-bashing while Luxon drags us back.

Was I the only one who didn't think NCEA was that hard to understand? Just get a certain number of credits and you pass. You got E, M, or A for meeting different criteria. Each assessment was on some subject and gave a certain amount of credits.

Today is the day! I am releasing my first Fortnite map, Black Moon Escape, a sci-fi roguelike created with lots of love and even a few tears. Thank you to all those I spent the last year learning how to build maps and to those that gave me a bit of their time to help out. I

Wrote this on the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on Israel’s unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories: https://t.co/CAjYdKbLV5. What was said, including on apartheid and obligations of other states like NZ, deserves more attention.

Congratulations, @ZohranKMamdani! Your dedication to an affordable, welcoming, and safe New York City where working families can have a shot has inspired people across the city. Billionaires and lobbyists poured millions against you and our public finance system. And you won.

Thank you comrade. I've decided to collate pieces I have written onto a Substack, Levellers & Revellers - 'Class-critical and socialist perspectives on New Zealand political economy and society' - here:

We criticise the NZ government’s signalled increase of defence spending towards 2% of GDP. “If the government was serious about regional security and New Zealand’s influence in the Pacific, they would invest in development and diplomacy." @dasafo123
