In today’s Vatnik Soup REBREW, I’ll re-introduce the American-British social media personalities, Tristan and Andrew Tate (@tatethetalisman and @cobratate).

Rightwing assholes feel entitled everywhere, good to see that there are people in the NZ/Aotearoa parliament who aren't going to let the Treaty of Waitangi be (totally) sidelined by ACT and National.

I liked how Raygun’s Olympic performance humiliated Australia as much as possible in the arena that our whole national personality is based on, & which vast public resources are shovelled into at the expense of, say, education & the arts
