The rate of surrenders and liberated villages is now slowly creeping upwards as Russia continues to drop in combat power due to an increasing lack of heavy equipment.

Memo to self- don't watch anything that comes out of Paramount from now on...

"David has been metal detecting for nearly a decade and so far has uncovered about 2,700 Roman coins. But he believes the two pots he discovered in August, with his friend Ian Nicholson, contain between 10,000 and 15,000 coins."

This really should not need saying, but extrajudicial killings are illegal. Bombing vessels without provocation in other people's waters is illegal. All of this is illegal. Trump needs to be held to account by the international community. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Felon wins the body count here

It is tempting to see our government as just incompetent, but they actually want to make life more miserable for most people #nzpol

Republicans know what they want: An Antebellum South slave gulag but for the entire world, with technology to punish and constrain. It's horrific and evil but they definitely want it and in rare instances that they retreat or compromise on that it's tactical to that end. bsky.app/profile/reph...

I'm on the front page of The Scotsman today with my article about why we still love to go ghost-hunting. All front pages should always have a designated spooky corner, I think.

Dutch efficiency. 🙃 Red Cross above the lane means closed for cars, but ambulance can use it.

The incredible part here is that the workers who cancelled their strike to deal with this crisis WERE ON STRIKE BECAUSE OF SHIT CONDITIONS AND UNDERINVESTMENT IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

The people have spoken

This article is a great explainer for those unfamiliar with groups like the Atlas Network and their influence in NZ politics. "At the moment, a new bill is being worked on in New Zealand and it is very much the policy and idea of Atlas Network partner the New Zealand Initiative." #nzpol

Guys, it’s a “windbreak” not “wind, break!”

People urged to watch for exhausted birds and blown away nestlings in wild weather

We have confirmed two new #measles cases in NZ today, with a Cook Strait ferry among listed exposure locations. Check your immunisation status (you need 2 doses of MMR). Book a vaccine: bookmyvaccine.nz Full details and exposure locations: tewhatuora.govt.nz/corporate-in...

Today's strikers and many supporters have been through a non stop destructive economic and social storm since the Coalition of Division took power.Overworked, underpaid while Drear Leader finds time to get a discount on his rates.

Gods I hate his smug face The audacity of a stale, white male

Cozying up to fascists must mean Judith Collins has gotten over her shock at the relocation of parliament's Winston Churchill painting in August 2021. At the time she said, "he was one of the very few political leaders who was prepared to stand up to the Nazis and fascists..." #NZPol

Genuine (and a little bit worried) question: what is the tenants' rights if the property is f*cked over by a natural disaster? . Asking, just in case.

The welfare state could be "an essential tool to maintain the social fabric of society, rather than a cost to be reduced"? Why did no-one mention this??

This hit piece by Lloyd Burr on striking workers is disgusting. Through out the whole piece he infers that the strikers are affiliated with Labour "and Greenpeace" Fuck him & Stuff for hiring this lightweight #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Collins seems to be in the US overtly auditioning to be their chosen puppet leader for NZ Hiding the FBI visit from the PM was pretty worrying, the constant obsequious PR she's doing in the US with their military and security apparatus should be ringing alarm bells

Climate effects magically GO AWAY when you hide the evidence of climate damage! Its like MAGIC Sorry autocorrect, that should be shitfuckery #nzpol

The irony, or blatant stupidity? 💭🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Aotearos #NewZealand

Oooh, guess what's already on my Kindle...

A) WTAF is he talking about? B) THIS IS WHY I FUCKING HATE SPACE NAZI COSPLAY AND I DON'T TRUST ANYONE THAT DOES IT

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

This was very clearly part of Project 2025

We, pretty much, invaded Iraq over the same kind of stockpiling... except it turned out that they didn't have chemical weapons

NZ Govt plans to radically reduce the climate disclosure requirements on large companies as part of its war on the planet. And here is my timeline of the War on Nature mentioned in the article. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto... www.thepost.co.nz/business/360...

Made the mistake of replying to a political post on FB & noticed a couple of things: It is overwhelmingly men defending the coalition Those men are economically illiterate. One even told me the new ferries were cheaper over all - like someone who only just met numbers and had no idea how they worked

The anti-Palestine stance of this govt makes even more sense with JuCo posting cozy pics with a fascist nazi-like person. It’s not any reason other than they are all in with America on this. This bodes very bad for non-white people in this country if there’s a second term.

Après le braquage… #Louvre

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” —Ursula K Le Guin, who would have turned 96 today.

Single author curriculum changes are dangerous for the future of this country. Principals are stunned & fucking angry by the changes in the "new" maths curriculum launched this year, now almost completely changed, and the expectation to be ready to deliver next year. nzpf.ac.nz/schools-face...

Trump may not technically be a king, but he does have some king-esque qualities...

kind of strange to watch other disciplines absorb the shock of austerity that History has faced pretty much relentlessly since 2009

Why hasn’t David Seymour come out in public to say; “FUCK THAT ACT PARTY CHILD ABUSING PRESIDENT” I mean, why? All we heard all day was bad bad labour….🤷‍♀️ #nzpol

Is it just me, or is a cultural war a weird thing to be fighting after a pandemic? Our govt is trying to pin the Team of 5 Million against ourselves while stealing from us. So, anyway, I was visiting Nepal... #nzpol
