bill maher has passed away after being made to shut up for five god damn minutes this evening. doctors say the comedian and talk show host likely died of a "broken heart" which they note was "black as coal" and "no bigger than an acorn" though it rolled under a cabinet before measurements were taken

I went to bed last night having learned the far-right organisation Turning Point are looking to set up in AoNZ. It will find a great deal of support in our media. It feels like fascism has its tendrils everywhere and apart from ppl protesting it is institutionally completely unchecked. #NZpol

MEGA STRIKE: With so many weather cancellations, if you're able to attend a rally for our workers tomorrow, take photos, films videos, make posts! There will be less media coverage so we need to make sure we cover it!

So lemme get this right, we burned 50k jobs, lost 90k citizens, fucked the energy, retail, hospo, manufacturing businesses, murdered worker rights and equal pay, set fire to public services and threw the entire health service in the dumpster And we didnt fix inflation? #Nzpol

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

I think this could be the funniest things I've ever seen 😂

This feels like a challenge to compile every instance recorded in Hansard when Winston Peters or David Seymour have been deliberately out of order and/or disorderly and received no rebuke or disciplinary action from the Speaker.💩😡 Every. Question. Time. #nzpol

Generative video is going to destroy the world. Here I am, at a protest I never went to in a city that doesn’t exist being arrested by cops I’ve never met

Govt to cut #JobSeeker benefit for 18 & 19 year olds who’s parents earn over $65,000, even if the teens have a disability or health condition. With #CostOfLiving & the job shortage they’re cranking up stress levels to 11, all to meet a target. My #cartoon today about hard-nosed #NZpol

Fucking hell. This wasn’t on my radar. #nzpol thank you Emily Writes ‼️Submissions close at 2pm TODAY Oct 6th! ‼️ This amendment makes it an offense to protest *near residential areas. This is fascist suppression of free speech 101. www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Passed the halfway point! Another 439 people pledging $5 and this project will happen

The signalling of ChCh killer's Great Replacement violent extremism, mirroring what's in his banned 'manifesto', week on week, post to podcast, meme to video, normalises and ideology that fuelled murder of 51 Muslims. Worse, leading Govt MPs now openly share same extremism on official social media.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Is not the whole point of trying to have earthquake resistant hospitals, schools, police stations etc because these are the very buildings that become of heightened importance during an earthquake?

So many rich guys who finally have enough money that they think they can buy cool, and so many vendors of cool treating them like absolute schnooks.

The Post denounces National's plans to strip 55,000 people of their votes as anti-democratic. Then they hide this democratic message behind a paywall. So: fuck the paywall, here it is archive.ph/tdO56

Good morning. Mōrena. Just saw @bootstheory.bsky.social is also raising funds for a family. So I shall amplify hers here too. Im filled with hope this morning. Our politicians are failing us on Palestine. But we don’t have to! bsky.app/profile/boot...

So this $413m of classroom building is from: $58m "maintenance work" $175m "brought forward funding" $180m "pre-allocated funding" This is just shuffling spending around to make them look good. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

This part is funny, though. "Trump has suffered harms. for example, he wasn't harmed at all"

Maybe the NZ media should be asking Rimmer now why he wanted Aotearoa's parliament to align itself with a particular side in a US far-right gang-war?

Nobody: Vision scientists:

Counter arguement; no, we fucking dont. We fight for value for OUR money. For OUR services. We stop this govt creating yet more ways of funnelling public money into private pockets.

Today’s pupper moment of joy is Wally, exhausted after a long play date with his bestie at the parko. He stopped into my store with his mom and quickly fell asleep on her lap, ears and toe beans tucked.

Donald Trump choosing to stay alive is not putting America First.

I worked at decile 1a school and my very first day started with seeing multiple kids getting punched and swung around by their hair by their mum or dad so they would be "good for the teacher" they didn't even know what a pencil or a book was. I think maybe 4 of 26 had had breakfast

I feel like a sand trap would be the right place. It might cheer up anyone whose ball landed in it.

hey Wellington! need a cleaner? one of my clients is moving so my every 2nd Wednesday slot will be opening up late next month $70/2 hours, $100/3 hours, + travel for locations outside of Newtown I clean w the products you have at home and can make trips on my way to keep you topped up

Just in case you missed the decay in the craycray, today

Parklets make revenue sense too Graphic from Melbourne

he has the political instincts of a spunk sock. put him in front of cameras everywhere 24/7

The National Government's handling of iRex should be treated as one of New Zealand's greatest political scandals. An impulsive Government got power and immediately made an ideological decision to cancel an existing project, ultimately costing hundreds of millions and creating worse infrastructure!

uh yeah dumbass it's a fuckin pistol shrimp

WHERE CAN I PUT MY BOOT IN

Apropos nothing, here's MP Kieran McAnulty calling the government collectively racist, spineless, and gutless to boot - as captured in the Hansard from 23 July 2024. There's no record of the MP McAnulty being 'named' by the Speaker for his comments. www.parliament.nz/en/pb/hansar...

The Speaker has docked Chloe's pay? Sounds like it's time for a bit of a whip around. I've just donated to the Green Party. That one's for you, Gerry. @nzgreenparty.bsky.social #nzpol

NEW: The daily, deadly humiliation of airdrops continue in Gaza. A six year old was crushed to death yesterday by falling aid and a whole family were killed in their tent last week. And now this in Gaza City this morning. Multiple injuries reported. (🎥 Anas Al-Sharif)

I’ve read through this twice, and both times I missed the part where they approached ACT Party Leader David Seymour for comment. You know, the bloke who’s currently deputy Prime Minister, and who some may say was helped there by covering up Jago’s offending in the lead up to the election. #nzpol
