“The time has come to put aside national ambitions and look for an international ambition of survival,” Sir David Attenborough told 60 Minutes in 2020. He turns 100 today. Attenborough warns that if world leaders don’t change, “It’s going to sink us in the end." cbsn.ws/4f9Hhz6

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

It’s weird that major news outlets have barely covered The Voting Rights Act being dismantled by SCOTUS. The fact a bill stemming from the black civil rights movement to create equality has been classed as racial gerrymandering disgusts me. First Louisiana, now Tennessee. Heartbreaking.

SCOTUS Deals Blow to Voting Rights Act & Trump Deals Blow to NASA Chief’s Ears youtu.be/SAXPf1-XbDg

Nikole Hannah-Jones: Gutting the Voting Rights Act isn’t just a Black rights issue www.ms.now/ali-velshi/w...

One of the best gigs I’ve been to was The Mint Chicks at Grey Lynn Library Hall in approx 2004. My sister had seen them play bar venues multiple times, it was my first time (I was under 18). I was in awe of their abrasive, chaotic, frenzied energy. www.rnz.co.nz/life/music/t...

Luxon has seemingly forgotten that he’s only in power because of a shoddy coalition. He wouldn’t be PM without Winston. This saga is hilarious.

Julian Casablancas sounds off on American Zionists

Finally, some positive news. Well done Hungary!

This is fascinating. It all got a bit hard and the "facilitation strategy" didn't woo any foreign competitors to challenge the dominance of the duopoly. So they walked away.

A little video about The Lab recording studio and the 50s dance hall that preceded it in the space (The Crystal Palace). It goes along with my article in the latest Heritage Magazine: youtu.be/zCnPQ6bpMnA?...

Crowd interaction at its finest. AW (Andrew Wilson from Die! Die! Die! and friends) played a rad set at Goblin in Ponsonby (Auckland) on Saturday night.

Last night’s sunset (viewed from my home in Mount Eden, Auckland) was probably one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Trump releases a statement saying he is sending Americans to war with Iran because “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump.”

This is extremely practical and hilarious.

i was at the scene shortly after ICE executed a man they were piled on top of. my report and photos are on webworm: www.webworm.co/icekillsagain/ "There is no justification for letting that many bullets go. That's messed up, That is no regard for life at all" a lifelong resident told me. fuck ice.

Don’t ask Trump why we need Greenland, we just do

Gianni Infantino should resign and/or ask Trump to return the FIFA Peace Prize.

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

David Byrne’s music has grown increasingly earnest over the years, but it is still almost always about alienation. Conversely, it is also about searching for home—how to find synchronicity, peace, wholeness. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/3M5_x5

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

Absolutely breathtaking sight, thousandsof students walking through the night. Route from Belgrade to Novi Sad. #Serbia #Student #Light

Solidarity to everyone who marched to Novi Sad. Much love to the families and friends of those who passed away in the Novi Sad rail station disaster.

“We’re in a bad situation, but it’s not just the shittiness of Trump. It’s the passivity of the Democratic Party to stick with a status quo that most people felt was not working.” Jon Stewart talks with David Remnick.

Was surprised to learn on Waatea News recently that the deputy PM doesn’t think politicians should change election rules without a public vote, and am expecting that Act will withdraw its support for restrictions on voter registration any day now thespinoff.co.nz/politics/01-...

Any Aucklander who wants change cannot rest on their laurels. It might be tricky to pick from the contenders but voting in the local body elections is better than not voting at all.

We want both states to have peace and security… well apart from the one state which we today confirmed we are not sure when we want to or if we want to recognise. But both states… I mean this is incoherent.

New Zealand’s goverment is run by a bunch of cowards. Thanks for embarrassing us at the UN 🫠https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360830829/live-un-general-assembly

New Zealand prevaricates on whether to recognise Palestine as a state, or not. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Palestine #Gaza

So Simeon Brown just announced $20m "investment" in ED frontline staff, immediately after it was revealed Christchurch hospital is in code red every single day. But it turns out it's just OLD money from the 2025 budget & already allocated. Brown strikes again #nzpol #Kiwi

“It was a way for me to let out my frustration and to feel like I was doing something, even if it was just a little part. Chanting genuinely gave me a purpose, a way to keep going.” — Nadine Mortaja, who led last week’s March for Humanity in Auckland.

#NoMusicForGenocide is a cultural boycott of Israel. Over 400 initial artists and labels have geo-blocked and removed their music from that territory - Massive Attack, Primal Scream, Amyl and The Sniffers etc etc Expect to see some Aotearoa artists on the list today nomusicforgenocide.net

#nzpol Me aro koe ki te hā o Hine-ahu-one. Respect us. Value us. Pay us. This was the message that came from thousands of New Zealanders today, as we gathered across the motu to celebrate wāhine and fight back against the Government’s horrendous attacks on pay equity.

😂😂

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

An absolutely brilliant response to Trump’s terrifying stance on media censorship. youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg?si

The largest pro-Palestinian rally New Zealand has ever seen. This is the importance of speaking up and educating. More will join. Free Palestine.

I’m in my late 30s and today, I hit the third milestone on that list. I’m shock by the fact I never knew it was a cover. I always assumed it was the original version 🤯

On a wall outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London, a new Banksy piece appeared this morning before being covered up within hours. The work depicts a judge in traditional robes beating a protester with a gavel. www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/09/bank...

People who think Auckland Transport's functions being absorbed back into council will Make Cars Great Again clearly haven't kept up with what councillors have actually decided in recent years. They're going to be disappointed. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This is ridiculous. Morrissey seems to have forgotten lyrics are only one of the main components of a song and that Andy Rourke passed away. The Smiths are bigger than Morrissey (that’s why their songs are better than his solo work). Johnny Marr should buy him out. consequence.net/2025/09/morr...

Public Service Association national Secretary Fleur Fitzsimons said "We are asking the High Court to declare that the government's actions are inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 because of the discrimination New Zealand women will face as a result of the government's action."

David Seymour is becoming increasingly unhinged over time. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Please do share this story so people don’t fall for this shitty scam

Institutional racism in action. Against the evidence and in the service of white flight and supremacy, Erica Stanford adds to the colossal damage being done by her Government to race relations, Te Tiriti and the country. #NZpol #VoteThemOut

This is sad. These posters are an integral part of forming local music scenes. The number of music venues in Auckland has been steadily declining for a decade. Social media cannot be the only outlet for gig promotion because it isn’t used by everyone. www.stuff.co.nz/culture/3607...

Love her or hate her, at least Helen Clark has a spine. I miss her. '"We now really seem to stand for nothing except you know somehow wanting to save our own skin in a tariff war," she added.' #nzpol

Labour says the Govt should follow the likes of Spain, Ireland, Norway and now Australia (and 75% of UN members states) and recognise Palestine now - to convey there must be a new settlement that recognises the Palestinian right to self-determination. 1/4 www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
