Pete Hegseth: "Trump has drawn a new strategic map from Greenland to the Gulf of America - we call this map the Greater North America.

Every sovereign nation north of the equator is not part of the global south, it is part of the security perimeter in this great neighborhood that we all live in."

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

Too broke to pay tax? Methanex pays $70m dividend to Canadian owner The Govt has paid hundreds of millions in subsidies to the Taranaki-based methanol producer; now there are calls to speed its exit from NZ. Jonathan Milne reports.

So just to be clear Luxon wants Kiwi families to pay a new tax on their power bills to build an LNG terminal that we don’t need & that will cook the climate, so that Methanex, a company contributing 0 dollars in tax themselves, can keep sending their profits offshore. newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/30/m...
