Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

It's so hard to think how to fully quantify it, but I genuinely think Musk is one of the most harmful people alive. He has basically unlimited wealth and power, and he's genuinely a terrible person who wants to use that wealth to make things more terrible.

The BBC’s continued use of X is indefensible

New Zealand has the highest youth suicide rate of all the 38 countries in the OECD #nzpol

Who did this?!

Please help if you can. Beckie is always supportive of others and needs a hand at the moment.

They wanna teach our children racist lies

$237 million per kilometre $93,000 per inhabitant of Northland It costs literally as much as a 76km high stack of $100 notes

Hungry?

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

There’ve been 5 mass extinctions in Earth’s history that wiped out a majority of species living on the planet. Most were from sudden climate change. None of those happened anywhere close to as fast as we’re doing it right now. Give it 50 million yrs, planet will be fine. We’re hosing ourselves tho.

So my daughter is back from Cambridge just for Sunday lunch. She wants a proper roast dinner with roast spuds and Yorkshires. Takes a bit of work on the timing but no problem, we will have a lovely chill time. I thought. /1

NZ Govt says it can’t afford to properly fund public health, cause it gave the money to fossil fuel companies and dairy companies. And here we are in the middle of an extreme weather event, events made worse by climate change, relying on the public health system to support us.

The negative impacts this government has had on our health system was almost immediate, and has worsened every month that goes by with them in power. Funding cuts, service closures, graduate nurses unable to find jobs, dismantling of Te Aka Whai Ora. Support the strike! #nzpol

Does the highly paid Brian Roche not understand how inflation works? Inflation rates are always historic - the prices have already gone up. Workers are already paying those prices. When the rate drops - prices don’t go down, they just rise more slowly. #nzpol

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

Nurses, Doctors and other healthcare workers are striking for better pay, staffing, and services to protect us from the shambles and probable deaths caused by the Govt’s severe underfunding, misinformation and lack of concern for those that use public health services. Support the strike. #nzpol

My kid just got bitten on the toe by a weta that was in her gumboot #peakAotearoa

The fact that Nicola Willis apparently doesn’t understand the difference between an asset and a debt explains a lot.

There is a ruru in our neighbourhood. He starts up making "morepork" noise most nights when I'm getting off to sleep. One night I stuck my head out the window & could hear a second ruru in the distance responding to our ruru. #Aotearoa

Open Letter to Winston Peters, Minister of Foreign Affairs: The New Zealand Government must recognise the State of Palestine from Staff, Students and Alumni of the University Community

Start of End of the week the week #nzpol

Yip, sign. Yip, email your MP, Winston Peters, the PM It feels futile but we've got to be constantly telling them this is what matters to us.

Most American Jews say Israel has committed war crimes www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Let's get a tent for Odaii and his family in Gaza chuffed.org/project/1506...

Reminder: National has always taken the side of Apartheid regimes.

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We watch a people go through an attempted genocide, and we sit back and say you are no people. You have no state. For you see, we are friends with both you and your murderer.

In 1976, African nations boycotted the Montreal Olympics because New Zealand stood with apartheid South Africa. Nearly 50 years on, that echo lingers and the stain remains far longer than we care to admit to ourselves.

Use “I” statements please Winston. The tens of thousands of NZers who marched, the thousands and thousands more who see this genocide for what it is and who know recognising Palestine is an important symbol of solidarity, your decision does not represent us.

. Gaza The dead boy tries to open his eyes. He wants to see the world he is leaving. But there is nothing to see here, nothing and nothing, and anyway he is gone. His parents held him while he died but they are both dead, too. Or he held them, no one remembers. .

I really thought he was going to do the right thing. Should never have got my hopes up. #nzpol #freepalestine

Feels like we've returned to the 1970s when NZ became something of a pariah through much of the world for its continuing ties with apartheid South Africa.

We aren't going to recognise Palestine because Israel has invaded it and so Palestine doesn't control its own territory ...

Stress stress stress stressidy stress. Wake me up when September ends.

What I'd say to you is, I don't want you. You know what you are not doing well. #Luxomatic

Always remember to type "-ai" at the end of all your Google searches. I forgot to this time, and it wasted a ton of water to be as wrong as it could possibly be. The AI revolution is garbage.

Signs we won't recognise Palestine: - Seymour said he won't & Luxon said it'll be a Govt position not an agree-to-disagree one - If we were going to, we would have announced today with UK/Aus/Can - Aus PM reacted to US pushback today saying Aus policy not decided in Washington *or Wellington*
