Nicola Willis emulating Ruth Richardson neoliberalism
A grim future awaits the New Zealand public service if the right wing government of National leader Christopher Luxon is returned to power. Next weeks Fiscal Budget is expected to see announcements about hefty job losses, on the grounds that this is how the country returns to surplus.
In many respects Minister of Finance Nicola Willis is overtly trying to emulate her 1990-1993 predecessor Ruth Richardson. Ms Richardson is best known for her 1991 Mother of All Budgets, which was effectively an attempt to destroy as much of the welfare state that propped up New Zealand, as possible. I have described this attack in other posts, but in the last week, Mrs Willis has all but declared war on the public service.
The rationale from Mrs Willis' standpoint is probably quite simple. The Government has delivered a shock and awe offensive against bureaucracy since it came to power. The offensive was designed to move so fast that people struggle to keep up with what is happening. Now, the shock is wearing off. People are seeing with their eyes and hearing with their ears that this is harming New Zealand.
It is made worse by the fact that Wellington City has been under sustained assault over the last few years. Much of the central city is struggling because the public service workers who keep the ministries of the Crown functioning have lost so many of their number. The bars and cafes, restaurants and so forth have lost a significant portion of their local clientele. And now it appears likely to worsen further with an announcement that has A.C.T. M.P.'s jumping for joy, that 9,000 public service jobs are going to be cut.
All this though is contingent on an election that at this point in time, National have a good probability of losing. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's persistently poor polling is wearing off on New Zealand who generally believe that he is aloof and out of touch with ordinary New Zealanders.
Mrs Willis might also want to look at electoral history, as Ms Richardson's policies were so hated by the country, that the government she was a part of, barely survived the 1993 election. In that election, the ruling National Party had come into office with an 18 seat majority after promising to end the neoliberalism that the previous Labour-led Government had introduced. Instead, they not only continued to implement it, but tried to drastically accelerate its rollout. New Zealand did not like that, and reduced their majority to a single seat in the 1993 election.
History has its lessons, and sometimes if they are not heeded, history repeats itself. Will National get the same lesson of 1993 repeated in 2026? And for the same reasons?

My friend really changed once she became a vegetarian
its like ive never seen herbivore
i sighed so loud my mom asked me if i was okay and she’s two rooms away
things that I believe in my HEART are on the Beatles' message to Earth (Project Hail Mary)
taumoeba (obviously)
instructions on how to use taumoeba (obviously)
50+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace fucking up a bunch of stuff in the ship
so much info about Eridian language
1700+ hrs of unedited footage of Grace and Rocky fucking up a bunch of shit in the ship
Cannot emphasize how much info on the eridian sentence structure there is here
a weirdass knit sweater pattern that takes people weeks to realize is for Rocky
literally hundreds of pages of Grace just describing Eridian linguistic history which like honestly isn't even his field why should we even listen to this guy- (hes the only one to ever fucking met an intelligent alien Dave. we'll take him at his word)
Why the Goldilocks Zone is for Idiots Part 2: Biological Diversity all across the Petrova Line (subtitled "We haven't found them yet BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DONT FUDHING EXIST-")
what are essentially just those reaction videos "Alien watches Legally Blonde for the first time" "Alien gives thoughts on movie Cats (2019)" "You'll never believe what this Alien thinks of the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox"
Grace's modified cardigan charts because someone was asking for them on his Ravelry and he never actually got around to posting them
(people have already fully recreated this cardigan just months after his launch. but they appreciate it)
very respective, kind eulogies for everyone who died in this mission (Grace AND Rocky's crew)
a lace shawl pattern inspired by the petrova line with a beaded fringe. knitters everywhere weep in despair because those instructions are gOD AWFUL, the man had 0 (zero) test knitters AND THERES NO PICTURES FUCK
Rocky make Grace cringe compilation statement
Grace's final goodbye to Earth ig
AND IF WE ARE GOING BLOODYMARY ROUTE WHERE THEY FIND AND RESCUSE SIMON BEFORE GETTING TO ERID- THEY SEE SIMON DO WEIRD SHIT IN THE BACKGROUND + MUTATED FUCK
Simon "yawning"* like a snake
Staring at Grace for no reason while he yaps to the camera (Very creepy)
him in dark corners, one eye faintly glowing (Rocky encouraged him to do it)
video on the blood ocean (made by Grace) {"THERE'S A MOON WITH HUMAN BLOOD???" WE KNOW DAVE WE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT TOO}
(if Simon still had the Blackbox) various images from the blood ocean.
Grace's studies on Simon's mutations ["the interesting thing is that when he yawns, he does it after he eats, so it's possible it's just him resetting his skull, like how snakes do! - yes I did see him swallow a burrito- he did eat the next one normally but it was still really interesting"] {"I don't get paid enough for this shit" Dave we all get paid enough for this shit}
…okay so what if the problem with the taomeba never happened on the way back home. What if the radiation never got onto the Blip-A. What if Rocky ended up back on Erid, and Grace made it back to Earth. What if they missed each other desperately forever.
What if Grace made a lopsided crochet Rocky and cuddled it every night.
What if Rocky couldn’t stop making xenonite puppets of his alien friend.
What if I made myself cry, what about that? Huh? What then?

Maryland will become the first US state to ban surveillance pricing in retail stores, after passing Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Jesus fucking christ that this exists in the first place
I WAS FUCKING WONDERING WHAT THOSE DIGITAL PRICE TAGS WERE ABOUT SUDDENLY i had hoped they were so the workers didn't have to finagle those little papers into the slider part anymore 😭
Hi, yes, that is the OFFICIAL excuse made to me by the guy replacing the paper tags with digital ones at my local Walmart, but the end goal is to remove the numbers off the shelf entirely, replacing them with QR codes that you have to scan with the app…. Which requires your login information….. and also stores your card information so even if you didn’t use your Walmart account at the physical checkout, if you used a card they recognize, they assign that purchase to your Walmart account purchase history.
I explained very clearly to the manager my issue with the meat section not having the price tags listed, and they claimed it was only going to be for the meat, since meat is by weight, and the price of each item is printed on the packs of each item.
Sure. That’s how they get their foot in the door. Fast forward not even two weeks, and here we are:
Bar codes. No prices, no item descriptions. No price stickers on the individual items. Heck, not even the name of the item that is SUPPOSED to be there.
No. The only way to see the price is to scan it on your phone app, which is also recording what you looked at recently, as a way of gauging what you might be looking for in the future.
So here’s what we’re gonna do gang:
Every time you go into a store that has implemented these price-less tags:
Take 1-3 items up to the cash register. Ask the cashier for the price, or hit the price check item on the self checkout, which will likely call over the attendant.
Express that you didn’t actually want it, you just couldn’t see on the shelf how much it was.
POLITELY, AND WITH A THANK YOU FOR THE PRICE CONFIRMATION, Give the items to the cashier or attendant to put back.
When they inevitably try to push the app, politely decline. If pressed for why not, say you don’t want to have to carry your phone in-hand the whole time you are shopping in order to see how much things cost. (Not having cell service or data to use the app is NOT a valid excuse, as stores already often have complimentary WiFi AND more stores will provide WiFi rather than give up on this push for surveillance pricing)
If it’s a shelf-stable item, the cashier will have to set it aside, taking up room in their limited operating space, and eventually pass it off to someone to put in a holding area to put back later. If it’s a fridge/freezer item, it might have to get tossed due to food product sale regulations.
In either case, you are making it a pain in the ass for them to have these digital bar codes. Tie up the checkouts. Give the employees more busywork that the company has to pay them to do. Hurt their bottom line having to toss the pint of ice cream you carried around in your cart for 20 minutes before giving it back to the cashier.
Yes, call your reps. Yes, push for more legislation like this in more places. But also take an extra minute out of your shopping trip to MAKE IT HURT for companies to pull this shit.
I've seen some people in the notes express (very fair) concern that this is only going to inconvenience already under-paid laborers, and not have any impact on corporate. While I can't speak for every company or every store, I do work in a grocery store and I can tell you this is precisely the kind of thing that would have an impact, especially if people are doing it en masse. Stores absolutely track their shrink numbers, and they do draw distinctions between what gets stolen, damaged, or wasted for other reasons. If people are making it clear that the reason they're bringing things to the cashier is that the prices are not adequately represented on the displays, and rather than improving business it's wasting product, slowing down transactions, and causing confusion and mistrust in customers, that is a language that shareholders speak.
I worked in retail for years. If this had happened while I was working retail, I would have been delighted and felt great solidarity with anyone who was wasting my employer's time and money and giving me busy work as an act of protest. In point of fact every moment the employee spends carting items back to the shelves is a moment not spent standing at a register.
i feel like this is more funny
I’m p
Yes I’m
Yes hmmms ow
Eh
Tnhk
Tumblr wouldn’t let me upload the video but I let the mice write a tumblr post for me and this is the result :^)

THIS POST ISN’T SAFE FOR TERFS. EAT SHIT AND DIE ❣️
If you're fifteen or older an still sleep with a stuffed animal please reblog this.
My friend is embarrassed and thinks she’s the only one and I said id prove her wrong.
so no one can see me cry
ID: A youtube comment with 11 likes by Niceone, it says "I've lived 46 years without knowing this. How nice of life to save some of the best bites for later." End ID.
Normally, people tend to get frustrated, even jokingly, if they miss out on something. This comment was on a song from 1974 and it made me smile quite much. Simply appreciative. Like a dessert after dinner.
It is genuinely mind blowing to me just how many Tumblr posts have changed my life for the better and taught me to be happier. Not all of the thoughts originate on Tumblr, but the way people collect and frame them has literally changed my brain chemistry.

Rewatching Ninjago from beginning to end right now and one thing that I realised while watching, is that Lloyd is insanely good at escaping prison - like he is extremely good at this and I can't believe I haven't noticed sooner.
He is also surprisingly bad at being a well-behaved inmate and he has absolutely no problem with making promises he does not intend on keeping, especially when he is making them to the prison wardens. The Ninja ended up in Kryptarium Prison two times in total throughout the entire series - once in season 6 and once in Crystalized and BOTH of these times Lloyd, very specifically:
- has immediately gotten into a fight with another prisoner,
- has sworn to not cause any trouble or try escaping to someone in charge of keeping him there...
- ...and has caused trouble and/or tried escaping not long after.
Twice now, this exact scenario has played out so similarly, that it's striking.
In season 6 my boy has immediately assured the Warden that he will in fact not be causing trouble like a liar he is.
Then, when the Mechanic started picking on him he promptly escalated the conflict by talking back to him
And then he conducted an entire SUCCESSFUL prison escape of 7 people in total, one which included finding and freeing a prisoner trapped in a different cell, disabling prison cameras, conducting multiple emergency plans to slow the possible chase party in case they are noticed and somehow predicting the most likely route to the prison's sewer system.
Also, I'll have you know that this little shit has smuggled a fork to his cell after a fight in the cafeteria and managed to lockpick his vengestone handcuffs with it, to complete astonishment of all the other Ninja.
The devious little smirk, look at him
Like, clearly he learned a thing or two from Darkley's despite the teachers claiming that he was rather bad at villainy. No way he wasn't getting straight A's on prison escape excercises.
I am even more convinced after going a little foreward and seeing him found in the exact same scenario in Crystalized, I am not even joking, how similar the pattern is.
We've got, again, in very quick succession:
Lloyd arguing with another prisoner, this time with Ronin, just about ready to square up with him then and there
...then mere seconds after they are broken up he ends up promising to the warden that he won't cause any trouble
And then literally not a minute passes before he is conducting a one-person spontagneous prison escape stopped not even because he got cornered, but because in that case escaping wasn't really a goal. In this very much impriovised stunt, Lloyd has managed to seamlessly steal an access card from the prison guard, slow the chase down by destroying the access panels as he went to avoid immediate capture, get free from a dozen of officers pilling up on top of him and jump down the staircase all the way to the first floor without injury.
Also, just saying, didn't even break a sweat. Perfect complexion, perfect hair, getting cuffed down like a true diva.
It's just...Lloyd is a sweetheart. He is soft and forgiving and gentle and kind.
And he is also the son of a warlord who spent most of his childhood wanting to be a villain. He went to a school that was meant to raise him to be one. And I really like the subtle ways the show explores that side of him, that side that Lloyd himself probably rarely even thinks back to nowadays, but one that did stay with him despite it all in some way. It's the little things. The way he isn't afraid to talk back to thugs, they way he plays dirty during battle or plays little tricks on the enemy he's fighting
...or the way he acts in prison.
Little things that I like about his character and that I think the show handled very well.
Also this makes me think that the Ninja never take him with them to escape rooms, because he either always finds some weird inconventional way to cheat the whole game, or just solves the whole thing in five minutes flat and it's no fun for the others. Either he is blasting through the puzzles like he is possessed or he is in the middle of digging himself out with a spoon.
