"They found the coats on Thursday morning. Fifteen winter coats. Good ones, not garbage. Hanging on the chain-link fence outside Lincoln Elementary.No note. No explanation. Just coats zipped up like ghosts waiting for bodies. Principal Morris freaked out. Called the police. "Could be stolen"

Trifle is made.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

I've been doing a bunch of media about Australia's social media ban for under 16s this week. NZ looks likely to follow. Before we copy-paste a ban, here’s what actually matters (imo) 👇 #nzpol

And, speaking of stealing pay equity from AoNZ women. These taunting pictures are what they had the gall to place in a women magazine.🤬 Their wealthy and sorted image is being pushed down the throats of pensioners and people in public waiting rooms for medical surgery priority that never comes. 3/3🤬

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

I am on Santa's naughty list because I am a little bit confused about the fact that I cannot get to the office. (Huh?)

Immediately this abstract issue of politicians politicizing trans lives for political gain and interfering with clinical best practice melted into a tangible, immediately present reality with real lives in the firing line, all for political gain and fomenting of hatred and division.

Can people please let go of the belief that the National Party is good with money? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I'm a 1. My apple was red, my horse was brown and also faced left.

Seeing as we are talking about pies - one of the best I have ever eaten was a roast duck in white wine sauce with kumara mash on top from my local bakery.

I’m delighted to announce I'm standing as the Labour candidate in Wellington Bays/Rongotai in 2026. I'm thrilled to fight for better jobs, housing, and health services in our community. Look in the bio to donate, volunteer, and help us deliver a better government next year.

So in a few month's time when the govt is telling you the social media under 16 age ban is to protect children, remember that they don't actually care about children's safety. They don't care about trans kids. They don't care about tamariki Māori. They don't care about feeding kids. #nzpol

I had to briefly move him off the bed to change the sheets and when I brought him back in he immediately walked over and bit me

"At least one of those emails received a reply from Parliamentary Senior Member Support staffer Lisa Mitchell - the minister’s sister." (3/3) archive.ph/Qv2if

ACAB. Without exception

This is outrageous.

Tomorrow is the Fifth of November – but let’s forget Guy Fawkes and his actions against an arrogant Protestant king and instead look to our own history: the unlawful attack on Parihaka and, by extension, Māori sovereignty. 🧵 #kikorangi

Fascism is a cult. Cults always end the same way.

“He (Trump) is acting as the leader of the US and acting in America's interests in the same way I act as New Zealand's interests,” Luxon said. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

SO unfair.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I wish NZ was the socialist utopia my American friends think it is lol.

If you think Trump can’t misuse the nuclear codes because "people would stop him" well those same people just watched him bulldoze a wing of the White House.

Now watch as Luxons Govt does everything they can to make you think a more fair tax plan and free doctors visits is a bad thing.
