Nicola Willis the spurious arsehole stole pay equity from women, she's aiming to "repurpose" $$$ promised in Paris One thing I do wish to add, Willis said "reckless acts" James Shaw signed us up to, but the pen to paper on the Paris deal was Climate Change Minister Paula Bennett #NZPol

You won't get any progressive policy or action post 2026 by voting for anyone but the @greens.org.nz Do it for your kids💚 #nzpol

“Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom.” Not quite. They built it on the blood and sweat of slaves, and on the unyielding love of not having to pay tax while still getting govt services. They really need to start teaching history in USA schools.

To be fair, at least she’s doing a job that no American wants to do.

Elderly gentleman 2 seats down from me in the chemo ward being very scathing about Luxon's 7 houses vs lack of funding for hospitals. Am silently applauding him.

Photons do not experience time. For example, take the light from Rigel (bright star in the lower right portion of Constellation Orion). From our point-of-view, the light took ~850 years to travel to our eyes – but from the photon's POV, it took zero time. Both POVs are equally true. Got relativity?

This is some very high-quality poping. The Peruvian is sounding very, very good.

where my nerds at

one thousand five hundred and twenty six schools pledging to continue giving effect to te tiriti in education. our government doesn't represent the future of this country David Seymour has LOST a generational battle

One for @laura-elseplace.bsky.social

Quality choon.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

TFW our new Swedish residents are more receptive to te reo usage than our current government. #nzpol

I like how it says it’s how *we* say hello in Māori. Not “they.”

This one is on David Seymour. Yet another reason why he really should just resign and scurry off into oblivion. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

If only there was a political party who would campaign for all of those things in 2026... www.greens.org.nz/green_budget... #nzpol

We lost the wonderful Shane MacGowan two years ago today. The Pogues' album "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" is one of my favourite albums of all time. The emotion that Shane put into singing the lyrics of "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is profound and very moving. #ShaneMacGowan

It’s Whamageddon time again, folks!

thedemocraticcoalition "The only progressive thing about Donald Trump is his dementia." Jasmine Crockett. That’s pretty good stuff right there - we’re sure glad Jasmine Crockett is on our side.

It’s that time of the year, folks! #whamageddon #whamageddon2025

The Nazis used the term "Lying Press" (Lügenpresse) to discredit and censor all dissenting media, simultaneously targeting journalists, and seizing, and giving their political allies control of news outlets to crush any opposition. Just mentioning that now for no reason at all.

Imagine being told by all your mates that you’re even more shit than Christopher Luxon.

One word for graduation is "whakapōtaetanga", which I translate to "the Enhattening" and no one can tell me any different. (Yes, the Master's is all OFFICIAL official, now.)

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen Cowboy Junkies The Rolling Stones The Rainmakers The Pogues (with Shane McGowan!) Lulu

“Release the Epstein Files.”

Intrigued to find out how many of my American friends have the faintest idea what’s going on here…

What was that MAGA said about the Bible?

It’s all in the framing of the question. Try “do you prefer the extreme hoarding of wealth by a few psychopaths, while millions barely survive; or do you prefer a free-market system that still ensures nobody is allowed to go hungry or homeless?” Essentially the same q; just different framing.

The irony is rich.

Well, that’s quite enough teaching for one year. I’ll see the classroom again in February.

My apologies to Chris Hipkins. Turns out this headline was poor framing by the Herald, and Labour, per @beefaerie.bsky.social , are, quite rightly, committed to pay equity.

Chris Hipkins won’t say if he’ll piss off half the voters in Aotearoa. This is morally wrong, and it’s also some really bad politics too.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen Marillion Marillion Marillion Marillion Marillion I was a huge Marillion fan in the 1980s.

“Chief people officer.” When the head HR Karen doesn’t believe in work-life balance, you’re looking at some serious worker-exploitation energy shit going on there. But then, it is Walmart. Hard to be too shocked.

An estimated 14,500 Walmart employees receive SNAP assistance and this cunt thinks work-life balance isn't good.

RIP Martin Luther, you would have loved Papal Audience Black Friday deals.

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

If only there were some form of transport, ideally run for the public, that could fetch people from around the city and drop them right close to this new shop…

I feel very slightly disappointed by this story… www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Those experts were apparently too fucking stupid to know that the "wisdom" that people tend to become more conservative as they get older is because they USED to have accrued some wealth and investments as they get older. Us millenials did not get that.

i swear this old tweet will be my legacy

Save money *and* hurt the vulnerable? Brilliant!

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…

Not a surprise that when the nats are told "this will hurt poor people" that they were all like "cool, where do I sign" www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol
