Reminder when Billionaires talk about “the collapse of society” they’re not talking about a nuclear war or an extinction level event, they’re talking about all of us getting wise and deciding it’s time to bring out the guillotines and give them the ol’ French Haircut

Look. What I say to you is this. If you can't afford to be poor, that's your problem. Me and my fellow landlords will just jack up rents to cover the OCR rise. Homeowners can suck it up. Better economic management everyone. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Without Trump, Putin, Farage, LePen, Orban, etc, and Big Oil lobbies we'd be dealing with climate change instead of fighting petty wars and hating on migrants www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#Nzpol We have zero climate policy right now, if we re-elect the CoC we will have nothing but more mining for 3 more stinking years

Just a reminder for those not familiar with UK media, please don't circulate posts or articles by the Daily Mail, the paper has been aligned with the far-right since the 1930s and continues to promote the forces of modern fascism.

Sound Economic Managers*: LOL *National #nzpol

of course they did #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

At the time of his offending, he was UKIP's deputy treasurer, and Farage was with him when he was arrested. He served eight months and on release was appointed by Farage as his chief of staff. By that time he was linked to tether.bet, a crypto gambling outfit based on the Tether coin ...

🧵If you have a little time, the backstory to Farage and his fixer/surrogate son/funder "Posh George" Cottrell is absolutely wild. First, Gabriel Pogrund of the Sunday Times' Insight team explaining it all to Emily Maitlis. youtu.be/EJE2te_VFI0?...

God, what an exhausting time to have pattern recognition and more than a six month memory.

#nzpol Make sure you know your rights at work. It's getting colder in New Zealand, and your employer has a responsibility to keep you safe as the temperature drops:

This fucking terrible government is only likely to retain power because forty percent of kiwis are fucking terrible human beings. Makes you think. makes you wonder how that happened. #nzpol

Submit soon, it's your last chance! This bill will harm ALL women - cis, trans, young girls, too. Not to mention non-binary people, butch lesbians, gay twinks, and anyone cross-dressing for fun. It's ridiculous. Wear the clothes you want, get the haircut you desire, play the sport you like. #NZpol

#nzpol Ahem. This is the level of average ignorance we are up against folks. 🤦 He doesn't even comprehend that he's voting for his executioner. Take the time to talk to your busy friends and whanau because they're the ones falling for the deodorant salesman's patter www.1news.co.nz/2026/06/27/i...

It’s Shane Jones Vs New Zealand. Conservation land is still under threat. Changes to the Conservation Amendment Bill still preserve a mandate to prioritise development over nature. Shane Jones vows to open up public land to extractive industries newsroom.co.nz/2026/06/26/g...

Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments

A guy who ran interference for big tobacco, an industry that kills 14 kiwis a day, or roughly 10,000 deaths under his watch doesn't have super powers, is just a cunt.

I love that a New Zealand company is behind this, which must be absolutely life-changing for the carers of people who need this sort of help. Nobody *wants* to need a hoist, but if you do then it's far better to have one that only takes one person to operate! www.htsystems.co.nz/user-stories

“When women are ignored and disbelieved every day, what options do we have left?” #nzpol And I’d ask where is Mr Winston Peters, the self advertised protector of women. Nowhere of course because bigotry and protecting women aren’t on the same page ever.

The biggest threat to "affordability," today and more so every day to come, is climate change. Responsible political leaders would tell their constituents about it.

Aw, our lovely neighbor is out in the rain and wind bringing our wheelie bins up the drive! Bless his little cotton socks! It's especially welcome because I went out earlier thinking they were empty, but they weren't so I got cold and wet for nothing.

Anyone one up for lunch/coffee

in 2023 anna mowbray stepped back the zuru empire that had made her filthy rich & set to work on "zeil", which she proudly pitched as "tinder for jobs". webworm reports that the website does what zuru sometimes likes to do... scrape other content to make it their own: www.webworm.co/zuruverseofs...

Does anyone know of a good and affordable (or free!) tool to help manage research across a range of documents? I have a lot of interview transcripts, and as I'm working my way through them I would like to be able to highlight and tag sections in a way that will help find things again later.

No further inquiry into Paul Goldsmith's own actions in the area. In Devember 2025 NZ High Court ruled Human Rights Commissioner Stephen Rainbow and Race Relations Commissioner Melissa Derby were appointed unlawfully by the Minister of Justice Paul Goldsmith. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Hit me up if you would like to help out. Everyone has something to offer. We will be putting out specifics next week.

NZ Police Misogny In Action Where’s Mr Protector of Women Peters? This is not untypical from PoliceNZ it’s being going on for years. ‘Don’t provoke him’ ‘Not letting an abuser into your house is psychological abuse of him’ ‘What did you do, wear, drink?’ ‘Harridan, ball breaker, bitch’ #nzpol
