Happy publication day to How to Loiter In a Turf War by @kuiniqontrol! 🎉🧡 Like nothing you’ve read before, How to Loiter in a Turf War is a lucid, genre-bending, cinematic work of fiction. It’s a day in the life of three friends beefing with their own city, Tāmaki Makaurau.

It’s really not that hard to not be a villain here, @CountdownNZ. Looking forward to the reversal of this policy and your looking after the workers who delivered these record profits.

Recently, Countdown has brought in changes to policy that dramatically affect the way COVID 19 discretionary leave (DCL) is applied. Those who test positive are now being asked to drain any available sick leave before DCL can be applied.

We asked Sarb Johal, Wellingtonian and author of Finding Calm all that is on our minds about these difficult times.

This is outstandingly good listening. By turns shocking and infuriating, but consistently engrossing. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

.@robstock1’s excellent reporting has exposed ANZ’s KiwiSaver funds are tied to investments in Saudi weapons, fuelling the war in Yemen.
Myself, a number of other politicians and I’m sure the thousands of Kiwis with the bank will be shocked and appalled to learn this.

@Rose_Matafeo Yes, switch out FTB for SIT. Also, controversial, but am personally a big fan of the bank bit. Those kids really stick it to the mean old bankers.

What animal is your heart? Is one of my favourite poetry questions. But I've never had an answer like this. Kyla is 17.

@KHorlor @elen2486 @richardhills777 By defining arts subjects as ‘soft subjects anyone can do’ and placing them in opposition to a subject like chemistry (by your measure, presumably, a ‘hard’ subject that takes a lot of effort), all you mean is you perceive the arts as ‘easy’. That’s not what woke means.

Judith Collins said “the problem with secondary schools now is there’s too much photography and too much media studies and all those woke subjects.”
She’s dangerous man. What century is her policy coming from?
