Imagine running a country when a pandemic hits and you first thought is. Fuck me, there’s money to be made here. Capitalism must be destroyed

Nathan Gill – the former Reform Wales leader – was convicted of taking bribes to ask pro-Russian questions. Relatively easy to prove. But what if others like him took cash to do something less *obviously* pro-Russian, but still very much in Russia's interests. Something like... Brexit.

It's well known that pigs can't look up. But what if there's a direction us humans can't look in? Maybe there's a whole world just off to one side that we'll never know about. That would certainly explain where my tuppwear lids are.

The nepotism/two degrees/you scratch my back/etc corruption and collusion of the NZ establishment is rotten to the core. A colony built on mediocrity, gatekeeping, and favours, that's, on occasion, excelled by doing the right thing (and then destroyed those who made the rest look average)

everyone correctly noting that any time you put Trump in a room with someone charismatic he becomes extremely complimentary until someone reminds him he hates that person, take a bow he’ll be posting unhinged shit about Zohran again by tomorrow

"LSD had the lowest harm mean score..." LSD is 100% non-toxic. Nobody knows what the LD50 rate for LSD is because nobody has EVER died from an LSD overdose. Constant Alcohol industry mindfuck propaganda is why many people believe that legal = safe. Wrong. Dead wrong. #EndProhibition #nzpol

They do *not* intend to give up. They do not intend to revise their shitty, regressive opinions. They will only seek a better way to NARRATIVE MANAGE their way back into power again. Don't be fooled by it. They HAD THEIR CHANCE. They threw in their lot. They MUST ALL GO DOWN TOO, every last one.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

The cost blowout is caused by endlessly litigating and reviewing the bloody work. Get it done. Ffs

Oh fucks sake. Maybe bubbles are actually good for the world after all. It’s going to gotta in a spectacular fashion

"But The Post can reveal that nearly half of those emails — 17 of the 36 — were sent not to his Beehive office but to Mitchell’s Whangaparāoa electorate office throughout January and February 2024." (2/3)

JD Vance is such a scum sucking bottom feeder the couch is making him sleep on the bed.

The lens of colonialism is always out of focus.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

“Teslasshole” 🤣 In my region, literally one of every 3-4 cars is a Tesla, so it’s impossible to tell the difference. They also all have no front license plates.

Winning platform I reckon

Could the Epstein Files kerfuffle take down Trump? Sure, maybe. Which could end up with Russell Vought and Steve Miller transferring allegiance to a MJT or Tucker Carlson or whomever. Don't take your eye off the big picture. It's the fascism, stupid.

This govt is full of ideologues. The min of health is the worst of them. How has he got where he is so fast. Someone with his views should never be responsible for the health of New Zealanders

Let’s get rid of this fucking pack of arseholes government who, as a pack of nobodies with fuck all experience that matters, have decided to shit on so many people in Aotearoa New Zealand. This is my commitment #nzpol

Callous and stupid. "the one in four children in our local schools who are disabled and/or neurodivergent could be collateral damage from the minister’s refresh" We have had some terrible Ministers of Education in our history but Stanford is shaping up to be our worst. #nzpol

"Quiet, piggy!"

If you missed @senatorsurfer.bsky.social’s outstanding speech in parliament on the threat to good policy posed by orchestrated, international disinformation, don’t miss it now. #AtlasNetwork #Auspol youtu.be/DHkwa_rrM4w?...

Yep we have one of those too #nzpol

If someone will write a cookbook called "The Casual Depravity of British Cuisine", I am ready to buy it. Or I'd eat at a restaurant with that name. Whatever.

Winning!

At least they are aware they are ruining everything. Wankers

“They don't realise that if you don't tax the rich, the rich will squeeze you out. "If you accept a situation where the rich grow their share every year, then, of course, your share and your family's share will eventually be squeezed to nothing," he said. #nzpol

Vewy well then, the people have spoken. I shall welease Epsteen Phyils.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

You wouldn’t know Bubba, he goes to a different school

Hypocrisy is glutting itself on irony's decaying corpse

Does the NZ Police need reminding of how to deal with alleged sexual violence? Journalist Michelle Duff draws them up a basic checklist. YES, and how about the list goes to every CEO, Law Firm, HoD, the State Services commission, school heads, and male politicians throughout the country. #nzpol

This a thousand times. No, I don’t want help putting a meeting in my diary. No, I don’t want you to précis the report I’m reading. And no, I don’t want you to train on my content including the legally privileged attachments.

I will not be buying any World Cup tickets or merchandise due to FIFA’s collaboration with the Trump regime. Gianni Infantino has a dictator fetish. It’s grotesque.

How it started: Waka Kotahi puts funding for cycling, walking and public transport initiatives on hold (Nov-23) How it's going: Senior Minister Chris Bishop is rejecting criticism over a funding decision shifting Kāinga Ora money to a walking and cycling bridge in his electorate #nzpol

Ruin them! From @mollycrabapple.bsky.social: “Hey authors! Check to see if Anthropic stole your book to train their slop generator on. You’re entitled to $1500 per stolen Work. Look up your work, and if you’re in the database, file a claim” secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/

"...25 drugs that an independent panel has assessed as being of highest concern, including eight opioids and 10 sedatives (mostly benzodiazepines). None of these substances will be detected at the roadside, despite each impairing more drivers than cocaine and MDMA combined."😒 #EndProhibition #nzpol

I would read an update on big bear drama every day if someone would only write one. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Katherine Rich claiming the Uber decision destroys the gig economy is bullshit. I work under a 'gig economy' arrangement and I'm happy with it. What has been destroyed is the ability of foreign corps paying no tax in AoNZ to exploit workers who have no power to negotiate their work conditions #nzpol

#nzpol Anthony Ellison shares his perspective on current events.

If you get to a trillion dollars you should have to start the game over from the beginning at a higher difficulty like your parents not owning a bunch of emerald mines or whatever idk that’s just a random example

NEW: Chris Bishop used housing money to fund a bridge in his electorate his own Govt had killed off. Officials were against the move and Labour say he shouldn’t have been anywhere near the decision. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Noeline said it out loud. I like Noeline. Be like Noeline. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This of course will not be lost on the likes of Vance, Hegseth, Rubio, Noem, Miller, Bondi and Patel. If Trump goes down, they go down with him. That incentivises them and the whole regime, including the thousands of DHS/ICE/BP/other goons, to seize total power and hold on to it, with blood spilled.

I’d be happy if some of the uber rich in NZ left. They disturb the peace, aren’t Living Wage Employers, throw $$ at political parties to remove regs, workers rights, safety&conditions. They continue taking more when they have enough while impoverishing people & communities. #nzpol #CallTheirBluff
