If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Tonight in Wellington, a panel celebrating Maurice Gee's writing for children features Kate De Goldi, Claire Mabey, Harry Ricketts, Anna Jackson, Tatjana Schaefer and Dr Vivien van Rij, chaired by Emeritus Professor Kathryn Walls. Floor 12, Rutherford House, Bunny Street, 5.30-7pm - all welcome!

No shit, Sherlock. Just fuck off, BBC.

"It's the immigrants." Look at this picture. It's these people.

Excuse me? ‘More classrooms to help struggling *tradies*’? God forbid you build classrooms to help struggling *kids*.

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

As the parent of two autistic young men, I expect this to be a complete horrorshow.

what movie do you consider “perfect”?

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

If I were in New York this weekend, I’d be trying to get to the Brooklyn Library’s “Tove Jansson & The Moomins” exhibition. It looks like a considerable degree of fun.

More normal behaviour from a definitely not fascist state

The allegation is that whoever was on that boat was running drugs, something that does not carry the death penalty under U.S. law. I'm sitting here watching video of some boat in God knows where getting blown to fiery bits. Video posted proudly. It's never been more clear that we're the bad guys.

Trump posts on Truth Social that he’s ordered another strike on what he claims is a drug trafficking boat. He’s presented no evidence that his victims in the three previous strikes were running drugs. Drug trafficking is also not a capital crime. Trump is murdering people in international waters.

PSA: 28 Years Later is coming to Netflix on September 20th

An ever-so-casual reminder that the bill for the leaky buildings deregulation fiasco is around fifteen to twenty times larger than all Tiriti settlements either finalised or in progress put together. www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/20/m...

The clip cuts out right before this, but he continued "today is the easiest day to express your discontent. Tomorrow it will get harder, and the day after, harder than that. The less we express our discontent...the more this administration will feel emboldened."

"In the span of three days, Disney won five Emmys for Andor (a show about resisting fascism) and then suspended Jimmy Kimmel (for resisting fascism)." – @case.murphy #uspoli #fascism

u had one job, bro

if you say "ChatGPT" in a French accent? you not only sound tres fancy, but also people will stop talking to you about "ChatGPT"

A+ content from The Onion as usual

My skepticism on this is largely around “and explain to my why meta wouldn’t abuse the privilege of seeing everything you’re looking at all day every day to create metrics to shovel advertising or political ads down your through at every opportunity?” Meta have long since proved they’re a bad actor

Luxon himself handed me the Prime Minister's science prize last year. Let me say this in plain English: he's an idiot for running a govt who budgeted more for AI than for the Marsden fund. any journo reading this can quote me on it #nzpol

Hahahahaha …

Honestly, no one, absolutely no one should be asking, "what the hell is going on right now?" The only appropriate question is, "why when people told me this was what was going to happen did I just tell them they were overreacting?"

ah, well

Many US Comedians will have plenty to say about this, right after they return from the Riyadh Comedy Festival

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to start building your indie shit

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Disney has Tron: Ares, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Rental Family, Zootopia 2, Ella McCay, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Is This Thing On? opening this year. I hope the talent involved in these movies curtails all planned publicity until the company reverses its decision about Kimmel.

Trans rignts are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Women's rights are human rights. Human rights are non-negotiable. Once you decide a group doesn't deserve human rights and the protection of law, your own rights get put on the platter of "potentially disposable."

Over the weekend, the world's richest man appeared on screens in central London to call for a race war and for the UK government to be overthrown. No arrests were made in connection with that communication.

This one.

Last week I got to tell the guy that called his Alien sequel Aliens that my Black Sheep sequel is called Black Sheeps – and he told me the ALIEN$ story first-hand.

If someone says a bunch of things and one of them is that my loved ones should be stoned to death, I really don’t need to hear the other stuff to know who he was.

Love to see racism completely dismantle an industry.

The majority of London is either foreign-born, or the descendants of non-white immigrants. London is pretty upset right now. Then it's gonna be mad as fuck.

Let’s not forget that the Wall Street Journal literally fabricated a claim that the shooter was trans and leftist. When in reality, the shooter appears further right then Charlie Kirk. Corporate media proudly remains complicit in the rise of fascism in America.

Lowering the temperature.

Those who clamor for Free Speech really want Fascist Speech. Recognise what they are.
