Celebrating the anniversary of the opening of New Zealands National Museum - Te Papa Tongarewa - with a video filmed by Capital Kiwi. This video features a Kahukiwi woven by my mum, Erenora Puketapu-Hetet, especially for Te Papa

Matthew Goodwin Caught Admitting that Nigel Farage and Reform UK Do NOT Have the Answers to Britain’s Problems dorseteye.com/matthew-good...

Part of the latest in my series “Laced”. Although this is the punch line. I seem to be working backward!! #embroidery #AI

Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social

Having led the fight to make up-skirting illegal, Wera Hobhouse is standing up against covert non-consensual filming of women. The government must urgently tighten voyeurism laws to make clear that sexualised, covert filming and posting footage online is a criminal offence.

Coming to an NHS near you...

Dave Troy’s work is always worth reading!

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

"Switzerland’s military has terminated its contract with Palantir… following a security audit… concluded that U.S. intelligence agencies could potentially access sensitive Swiss defense data… significant reputational warning for the data analytics firm" www.newscase.com/palantirs-sw... #R4Today

💯

Now let’s hear Farage, Badenoch et al screech about foreign interference in our elections

Chris Mason doesn’t report, he gloats. Nasty little man!

Yesterday we found juvenile female #kakapo Ongaonga on a nest on Pukenui/Anchor Island. At just under 4 years old (her hatch day is 12th Feb), she's the youngest female ever recorded nesting. Today we also found Matilda nesting - she's just 2 days older. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Happy Superb Owl Day to all who celebrate #SuperbOwl

Jeffrey Epstein survivors speak out #SuperBowl #SuperBowl2026 #SuperBowlXL "I was 14" "I was 16" "I was 16" "17" "14" "There are about a thousand of us" "It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows" "It's time to shine a light into the darkness" "Release all of the Epstein files"

🥳

”Pants on Fire” a piece I made a few years back. Have a pair of XXXL Y-fronts in the store stump. Been reluctant to get them out as they’re very tricky to embroider but think now I really do have to give it a go! #embroidery #mandelson #morganmcsweeney

Hurrah! Long grass no involvement or influence? Now disentangle the U.K. from Palantir and other pernicious U.S. companies and linked advisers!

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

In honour of the woman who, more than anyone, is responsible for this moment of transparency with the #EpsteinFiles, we're removing the paywall from this profile 🟨‘Virginia Roberts Giuffre Was an American Hero’ subscribe.bylinetimes.com/edition/80/v...

Reminder: Palantir sells AI tools that help law enforcement agencies like ICE analyze massive amounts of personal data. It's a big reason why it is quickly becoming the most dangerous corporation in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VwyhErd88

Exactly this! Get Palantir OUT!!

The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them. Billionaires: the only minority destroying humanity.

Morgan McSweeney's mentor here, in case you weren't aware.

Once more with feeling! Oh and is he giving up his seat in the House of Lords? And are all the government Palantir contracts going to be cut? Mandelson’s lobbying company introduced them, didn’t it? #mandelson

Don’t be gaslighted. All those Epstein files are embarrassing for the men but NOTHING released rises to evidence of crimes. This is on purpose. The men can live through scandal. They can’t live through prosecutable crimes. They want us to be satisfied and move on. RELEASE THE REST OF THE FILES.

With Palantir and Mandelson both back in the news, it’s worth revisiting this — the Epstein/Mandelson/Thiel connection, and how Mandelson’s lobbying company introduced Starmer to the Palantir team bylinetimes.com/2025/09/12/p...

Quite the blow to meritocracy myths when half the billionaires in the country are in the Epstein files emailing shit like “hey best friend, what should I wear to the crimes party?”

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

I wrote this derivation of Old MacDonal’s farm in frustration, last September, but forgot to post it on here. So here you are, you lucky people! #embroidery #AI

Who’s paying for the ‘AI tutoring tools’? Us or the AI companies who are desperate for us all to adopt it?

A Tennessee library has banned a book where cartoon chickens model historical undergarments and I’m sorry, I need this on my shelves immediately and probably you do too. A History of Underwear with Professor Chicken by Hannah Holt and Korwin Briggs hannahholt.com/store/a-hist...

Universal in all languages, actually!

National insurance hike and energy bills behind food price rise, say UK retailers. No mention of the role of private equity ownership of supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. No mention of profiteering, exec pay, dividends or profit shifting to dodge taxes.

It is January 27, 2026. Elon Musk’s app for making non-consensual sexual images, including of children, is still available in the Apple App Store (in fact it’s ranked #3 in productivity). ICEBlock, which enabled sharing of lawfully obtained information like the location of ICE operations, is not.

Rare that you see Benham's Panopticon mentioned as an aspiration. Next: Big Brother as a manifesto promise?

It’s the 724th anniversary of Dante Alighieri being exiled from Florence, ostensibly for corruption, but really for saying the pope had too much power. Five centuries or so later, they built an enormous, elaborate cenotaph for him – which he’s not in, because he never went home... 🧵

Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”

Suella Braverman known as “Leaky Sue” in Whitehall, coz she’d broken the ministerial code multiple times. Sacked by Liz Truss (let that sink in) for leaking government papers then 5 mins later Sunak gave her job back. Then she stirred up division around Remembrance Day ‘23 Nice! #embroidery on sieve

Stephen Miller is a shit. #stephenmiller #trumpisafascist #abolishICE

#Trump #Bannon #CambridgeAnalytica #NerdReich #Brexshit #Trump #GOP #JAN6thTrumpInsurrection was just the start for #Trump. #Trump #NerdReich #ICE #PamBondi attempt to #BLACKMAIL #MinnesotaUSA , to 'cover up' thier intentions of fixing the next election. ⬇️

⚠️This is a warning! Tice: “I praise Trump’s crackdown on illegal migration in the US, and I think the UK should take a similar hardline approach - including leaving the European Convention on Human Rights - so we can enforce much tougher immigration rules.”

WHY to Radio 4 keep platforming these has been Tories? Currently Michael Gove. He said that he didn’t think that Andy Burnham should be allowed to stand as an MP. HA! Since when has Gove said or done anything that was in the national interest!

Margaret W. Rossiter coined the term “Matilda effect” to describe the bias against acknowledging the achievements of women scientists. Some cases illustrating the Matilda effect include Eunice Foote, Rosalind Franklin, & Jocelyn Bell Burnell #Womeninstem paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2022/03/07/e...

This is an interesting read. Know your enemies.

Holy fucking shit this is awesome use this now cybernews.com/security/dev...

With nearly 20 years working in pharmacy I know how important it is for clinicians to hear the voice of the patient. Nobody knows you better than yourself which is why in the world of a busy NHS it is important that the implementation of Jess's rule puts the power back in patient's hands.
