A long road from UNSC Resolution 2334 - undertaken by the last National Government, in the teeth of extreme opposition by Israel - to today.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

This is hilarious. These people have never run a real business. It is 100% a scam operated by skiled, dedicated grifters. www.wsj.com/articles/sto...

Hmm, interesting that people I want to become are sometimes now younger than me? Certainly hope this trend doesn't continue.

Whenever I order potatoes online, I imagine the person who packs my bags just brutalising people out of the way to get the absolute biggest potatoes you've ever seen in your life.

And you would never believe that our mum was a teacher the way @robbienicol.bsky.social and I spend our life explaining things: youtube.com/shorts/EnFmJ...

Big fan of TVNZ+, home to some of my favourite shows and also many, many made up TV shows I do not believe are real.

I'm so excited for the new Auckland train lines. Gonna have such a lovely hoon around on the new Auckland train lines.

I think every struggling artist is allowed some bitter-posting, sometimes. And we all agree to pretend we didn't see it, and to like their next post when they're feeling hopeful again.

In 2015, the Infidels’ Colorado Springs chapter threw a pig roast barbecue party “in defiance of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan.”

Just saw Weapons and I think it’s the loudest I’ve ever yelled out of fright at a movie. Great film five stars!

Here's the Speaker's Ruling Brownlee is now relying on in order to justify requiring Swarbrick to withdraw and apologise today for what she said yesterday. It is a flat out wrong, completely unjustifiable, untenable application of the precedent. He acted from pique and now is backfilling the reasons

Oh boy ... Gerry Brownlee has gone a bit rogue here, I think. He's basically invented an open-ended power for the Speaker to punish an MP who the Speaker thinks has misbehaved. I think this misapplies the relevant Standing Order (thread following)

This is a story about spies. Though they are highly trained, they don’t work for an intelligence agency. They work for paying clients. One target was James Coussey. He'd been a criminal prosecutor. Why were they after him? My new @theguardian.com investigation (1/8)

Now this might SOUND bad.

Very high off the Mamdani win. Sending out texts. Liking posts. It’s my understanding this is more important than President of the United States and President of China combined.

Gotta say, I’ve never previously followed the Democratic Primary for Mayor of NYC.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Turns out there was a more exciting message than better things aren’t possible

NYTimes has a long history of holding conservatives—including its paid columnists, like Stephens here—to absolutely no standards whatsoever, but still worth noting the complete lack of ethics required to not mention how 99.99% of Iran's uranium stockpile was due to Trump withdrawing from JCPOA.

It’s incredible to me that someone can be an internationally wanted war criminal, and the national broadcaster of a tiny nation at the end of the world will still make editorial headline decisions that centre his justifications.

Police presence notable in and around Pacific Place this afternoon on the 6th anniversary of the death of Marco Leung ling-kit, the first death associated wirh the 2019 Hong Kong protest movement.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

A lot of justified anger at Ruth Hill, but some of the blame surely also lies with Paul Thompson and the generally rudderless vibe at RNZ.
