@LDSeongdo @ImKingGinger Also, the question โ€˜does it amplify lightโ€™ always confused me. What does that even mean? It should just be a simple thumbs up or down and the votes should be transparent to creators and voters.

@ImKingGinger @RisesFromFlames I would like to know if all votes are counted the same even from people who only watched a small portion of a film. If you don't watch enough of a film then your opinion on it shouldn't matter. Not sure how they handle that though.

Can someone point me to anyone who is in the Angel Studios Guild that voted to support this new version of Animal Farm? I would like to talk to them and ask what it was about the film that they saw, and what they knew and how they voted. This is a serious inquiry. My running theory, if it was actually presented to the Guild, is that the guild has been co-opted. There is just no way that The Guild voted to allow a movie with a trans actor, and pro-communist message. If this indeed did happen. The Guild is Dead.

In Lower Hutt, New Zealand ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ, the owner of the Persian restaurant Banoo, Alex Aragon, hung Iranโ€™s regime flag on the wall ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท and placed American and Israeli flags ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ on the floor at the entrance, so that customers naturally step on them when entering. Aragon called it a political statement, but it sparked heated arguments with members of the local Iranian community. Anyone who hangs the flag of the Islamic Republic while seeing Israel and the US as enemies, when theyโ€™re the only one helping Iranians resist the regime, is not a true friend of Iran. Many Iranians support the Israeli and American strikes against the regime in Iran. Thousands have died for Iranโ€™s true flag, the Lion and Sun, to fly again. Even today, the regime executed two innocent young men. That is what the Islamic Republicโ€™s flag truly represents.

NZ elections are looming. Luxon has failed us and the Left could win by default (as Luxon did) as a result. Perish the thought. Keep your vote to the right and give @nzfirst more influence. A sensible choice.

We all know it's Winston Peters who will decide the winner of this year's election. Which party do you want him to choose to lead the government? Labour or National giving them full support? Or Labour like 2017 with a strong NZ1st? Or Nats with many NZ1st cabinet positions?

Labour sabotaged and sacrificed the refinery on the altar of climate change... and now we reap the consequences.
Joseph Mooney MP@JosephMooneyMP

Itโ€™s been interesting hearing Opposition Leader Chris Hipkins saying that the closure of the Marsden Point refinery was a โ€œprivate business decision.โ€ While strictly correct, it omits significant government policies and decisions which made that โ€œprivate decisionโ€ the only realistic one. I havenโ€™t seen any media commentary on this. A May 2021 letter from the Refineryโ€™s CEO to the then Minister of Finance described Marsden Point as one of โ€œthe safest and most reliable refineries in the region.โ€ Notwithstanding that, the letter said it was considering a major change to its business to significantly reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and become an import only terminal. It noted that the Minister had directed ACC to accelerate moves to divest from fossil fuels. The letter noted that ACC held around 10% of Refining NZโ€™s shares, and as significant investments would be required to change it into an import only terminal, it asked the Minister to distinguish investment in Refining NZ from other fossil fuel investments given its critical infrastructure role. But why was Refining NZ looking at shutting down its refinery despite being one of the โ€œsafest and most reliable in the regionโ€? A 2019 Ministry for the Environment Regulatory Impact Statement lays it out plainly. Refining NZโ€™s Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement - protecting it from full ETS exposure since 2003 - expired 31 December 2022. Under government policy settings it would then receive zero industrial allocation and face the full cost of its emissions. The ministryโ€™s own analysis said this would โ€œnearly halve the profitability of the refining businessโ€ - at 2019 prices of just $18 per NZU, it would produce an annual ETS bill of ~$20 million. The RIS recorded Refining NZโ€™s profits over five years: โˆ™2012: $31M โˆ™2013: -$5M (a loss) โˆ™2014: $10M โˆ™2015: $151M โˆ™2016: $47M Average that out and you get roughly $47M per year (with an exceptional 2015 year). The ministry itself said full ETS exposure would nearly halve profitability even at $18/unit. NZU prices didnโ€™t stay at $18 which was readily foreseeable. The NZU price hit a record high of $88.50/unit in late 2022. Applied to the Refineryโ€™s Scope 1 emissions of 1 to 1.3 million tonnes per year, thatโ€™s an annual ETS liability of $88.5M to $115M, and thatโ€™s before Scope 2 costs on purchased electricity and gas. On a business losing money in bad years, a potential $100M+ annual carbon bill isnโ€™t a headwind. Itโ€™s a death sentence. The ministry knew this in 2019, and suggested options the government could take in terms of emissions liabilities to keep the refinery in operation, warning: โ€œThe closure of Refining NZ, which employs approximately 300 people, would have a significant negative impact on the Northland economy and would leave New Zealand dependent on the supply of refined petroleum products sourced from overseas refineries that may choose to prioritise supply to other nations ahead of New Zealand at times of shortages.โ€ Read the Ministryโ€™s RIS for yourself (that specific comment is at paragraph 25) ๐Ÿ‘‡ environment.govt.nz/assets/Publicaโ€ฆ

๐ŸšจLatest poll Centre-right in command. Centre left get a hammering. The mediaโ€™s petrol crisis cost of living crisis food crisis everythingโ€™s a crisis - isnโ€™t working. Labour is down 1 point to 33.4%, National is up 1.4 to 29.8%, NZ First up 3.9 points to 13.6%, Act is up 1.5 to 9%, Greens down 2.7 to 7.8% Te Pรคti Mรฃori down 0.6 to 2.6%. If that was converted to seats in the House, the centre-right bloc would be on 65 seats, enough to govern, while the centre-left would be on 55 seats.

ANNOUNCEMENT Timcast IRL has been asked to run ads promoting Animal Farm next week which is being distributed by Angel Studios Angel studios has done tremendous work in the past and I have been a fan for some time. However I am rejecting these ads outright as the film is shockingly offensive as it is pro communism and anti capitalism. The film in its entirety is a critique of capitalism from beginning to end and even has pro leftist terrorism elements. I understand that this statement may be one the stupidest things a company in the business of running ads can do, but I am so offended by this film I decided I must publish this statement. I hope Angel studios corrects this error and gets back to promoting positive films and messaging as they have in the past but I will not be party to nor defend such an egregious insult to a classic book and important message.
