One of the very wicked but hugely important problems divine.video has been put on this earth to solve

People who I want making decisions about my treatment: doctors People I do not want making decisions about my treatment: politicians

OMG so good .. lovely dark fantasy

You're not in the minority at all this bill is terrible law, bad for kids and a gift to surveillance capitalism b416.nz has some good info

"..we need to destabilize the streets" echoes of where a current administration is trying to take things Without much luck so far .. so far.. may peace reign

How do I retweet this twice... We really need some of the state level prosecutors to "do the thing".. this is right up there with things we need people to be doing.. not me obviously but some prosecutor, somewhere, surely..

What I don't love about this is that they put authoritarian on the left instead of the right, I mean duh, or at the very least in the middle What I like is the way it's green in the bottom left for a kinda left progressive anarcho-libetarian thing which kinda works for me

So, the President of United States, the President of Egypt, the Emir of Qatar and the President of Turkey just signed an agreement to bring to an end the conflict between Hamas and Israel. Are there a couple of important names missing from that list? What am I missing here?

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

Few people know that in the protocols not platforms paper I urged people to leave parts of the protocol uncompleted so that Rudy would create it. 😂 (Meanwhile people pointed out to that dude that the relay code has been available (open sourced) since early 2023 & he claims they just released it 🤦)

I wouldn’t say I’m in favor of AoNZ becoming a republic, but I’d travel the length of the country to listen to Nga wai hono i te po speak about our future, whereas I wouldn’t bother crossing the road to listen to King Charles #nzpol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

I swear someone just gave me a sort of passive aggressive sarcastic :care: emoji on idiotbook.. or is that just me reading into it ;-) ?

oh shit, a state prosecutor may actually do the thing

And in thuggery and extortion news did you hear the US Govt just bought 10% of Intel for no money down and "pray we don't change the deal any further" ? www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Absolutely outrageous to kick her out of parliament in for speaking this truth in what should be a place of protected speech.. reminds me of another representative brave enough to use the right word to describe genocide.

"Unless directed otherwise" - by whom? Also frm what I could tell the response of many people with yachts actually at risk (i.e. not in New Zealand) is to sail out to deeper water. Which seems like a solid strategy. I dunno but obviously even Civil Defence a bit ambivalent? Maybe don't say anything?

Should I be flattered that my ads for Didi are all in Spanish or did somebody just decide that everywhere south of the equator is first language Spanish?

!!!

I love the clownish stupidity of this so much ;-)

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Brutal.

Watching ABC news.. dammit what is so hard about saying that deploying the national guard over the objection of the governor is non-constitutional? And how the hell did the conversation become about arresting the governor? What the f hell? through the looking glass insanity 😨

Ngā mihi to my wonderfully intuitive #MWSecretSantaAoNZ Secret Santa ! Gorgeous and exactly perfect. I am indeed hoping to become 'one of those record player people' and this print from Pōneke artist perfectly captures that mood for my life right now! Can't wait to get it on the wall. Tēnā koe!

no notes

Honestly I'm pretty easy.. into socks even, or quirky tiny books or record related things.. or politics ..think of me as an aging, basic, wannabe hipster from Wellington but still pining for Paekākāriki and/or nyc where he used to be... (Yiikes that got a bit real too fast :-)) #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

OMG just saw the USA Callister follow up in Planet Mirror 🤯 What sci-fi is f for good. Also I sometimes wish this place was more like facebook so i had a place.to.share meaningless crap like that with my actual friends.

It's giving, shouting into The Nothing mist .. also yes 😭🤗👏

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Try to keep some of my social media challenged buddies up to date. PS I know the algorithm will be absolutely brutal in how it downranks a post like this.. but u do what u can. PPS This is also something we need to work hard to preserve.. freedom of algorithmic choice. Hashtag why I'm here.

Extensive rail network across the country including new lines ChCh - Tekapo - Queenstown. Electrified Air NZ Domestic Fleet Zero funding for Private schools (integrated schools no problem). STUDENT LOANS scrapped & forgiven FREE Public transport TVNZ & RNZ commercial free & fully funded

This is such a brilliantly correct take

"small private courtyard with a table and two chairs for outdoor relaxation" all for only $475 pw

Oh this is fun. I got to the end of Excel... Not that i ever use Excel, of course, on account of I'm a real data scientist™

Talking to my gf about the benefits vs costs of doing a cost benefit course lol

Yes please - Chris Murphy is clear on what is required. --> there's a five-alarm constitutional fire, --> we need .. hundreds of thousands of people [on the streets, now] --> we need [left leadership] to be out there, giving people mission sets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqLf... #missionset

After every disaster, Marae around the country come to the fore and offer shelter, food and care if they can. Why not acknowledge that, and help fund the maintenance and running costs as part of New Zealand's disaster preparedness?

That and this one tell me someone is already making this shirt

i don't think you understand how much i need this shirt rn

Love where this steelworker from Canada happened to end standing for his interview on the cbc tariffs story ;-) (.. cut the cord decades ago so it's weird having a tv again, turns out it has this news cbc on it, in a way that doesn't seem to happen on the actual net for some reason? weird.. )

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Just woke up. I dreamed about a thing called the exploding fear.. exploding fear is something you see in your dreams.. don't worry I wasn't scared I didn't actually dream the exploding fear just about how it was a new trend haunting people's dreams...

What's your sign ?

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Yikes. Looking for a kids movie but found the set up disturbingly resonant ;_)

Don't Forget!!

Whenever the idiots from Destiny Church spout their hate for the #LGBTQ whanau - I will share my love. Weave Rainbows 🌈

i got home after a day away and didn't need to clean and mop up which was nice, i guess, but also made me sad because no wee company to keep me company .. i hope Sputnik isn't resting but back to cavorting and exploring like he did when he was a kitten.. RIP Sputnik 6 Gray
