The worst conservative governments aren't running conservative governments at all. They're *ungoverning* to liberate big business from democratically accountable social & environmental standards so they can realise their true extractive, exploitative potential. Spun as "cost savings". #nzpol

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Here are 5 covers I liked this month. One of them doesn't even look like an rpg cover. It looks like junk mail. www.explorersdesign.com/covers-sept-...

Will never forget TPU's Wealth Tax Facebook poll and them having to delete it, because taxing wealth is more popular than taxing work #nzpol

thespinoff.co.nz/politics/24-... Turns out the "tax bad" rhetoric isn't selling so well this year #tax #nzpol

This was such a great talk! Some deep thinking on how RPG systems work and how they break and what to do about it.

We’re so excited to share the trailer for BLACK SHEEPS with the world! This film was handmade with love and care (and many litres of fake blood) and I can’t wait for people to see it.

Once again, @slanecartoon.bsky.social diagnoses the core problem.

Even if you don't play games, Variations on Your Body is a breathtaking piece of lyrical writing - one of my favourite books in years. (If you *do* game, buy them all!)

Great interview with one of Aotearoa’s finest exports, Roger Langridge! Some great stories in here. And @scott1gray.bsky.social and @dylanhorrocks.bsky.social get mentions

That's a blast from the past. Have always enjoyed chatting with @mikedawson.bsky.social!

A very lovely, thoughtful (and generous!) discussion of a (very wordy!) page from Hicksville by the great Craig Thompson. Craig's absolutely right that Kópen is talking about comics here.... youtu.be/S__NBZmHRyM?...

Oh this is terrible news. 💔

This book is a total heartbreaker. So beautiful, so sad... 💔 @fantagraphics.bsky.social

Big let down, to be honest

When Australia did this it cost the federal government millions, ruined untold lives, and drove multiple people to suicide; but sure, let's learn nothing and do Robodebt here too

Any Terry Teo fans around here? Legendary comic creator Bob Kerr has shared 'A Day in His Life' on The Sapling: www.thesapling.co.nz/a-day-in-the...

This is sad news. I'll be spending tomorrow peer reviewing a new book by him - and was looking forward to letting him know how great it is. A prolific supporter of comics from all over the world, he'll be greatly missed. 💔

An amazing colleague & her whanau lost everything in the Wellington floods & friends have put together a fundraiser for them: givealittle.co.nz/cause/suppor...

Did I just see a moment of actual sunshine coming through the windows?!!! It's gone now, but I appreciated that brief preview of this storm being over... #wgtn
