It was us climate scientists. We can geoengineer record heat waves with our space lasers but a trillion tons of carbon pollution from two centuries of fossil fuel burning can't warm the atmosphere

Fesshole lite: cheated on the wordle today. It was just too hard and I needed a win.

In my day, $18 of Taco Bell was enough food to kill you.

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

:(

I wouldn’t say that coprolite is my top favourite fossil, but it’s certainly a solid number two.

"Trump gets blamed, but he's an inflatable tube dude at a mafia chop shop. His apathy to governance is mistaken for sway. Governing was never the point. Trump’s casual treason has always made him an ideal vessel for America's going-out-of-business sale." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/stop-colla...

I want to feel empathy for this guy, but brother, we've known for 40 years that building where you live was crazy www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

15yo and I were howling at this earlier. It’s just perfectly done!

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Quelle surprise. The Post refuses to hold the white male Mayor accountable, despite the evidence, context and 100s of submissions, for his actions that would expose embedded systemic misogny rather than individualising the problem just to Chung. Do not rock the status quo. #nzpol #BoysClub

I would kill or die for Larry

#NZPol Instead of focussing government budget on renewables & storage, we're wasting a billion on an LNG terminal whose main user will be Methanex (45% of our natural gas) Which like the Rio Tinto smelter that uses 13% of NZ's electricity, is already subsidised millions by the NZ government

I genuine think it's time the left decentred the identity politics, and returned to good old class warfare. Workers are being disenfranchised so, so rapidly. And that billionaire class is getting too uppity.

When @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social visited this marquee anniversary event, she found a dearth of visitors, a shortage of napkins, and a decaying model of the triumphal arch the president wants to build across the Potomac.

Schisms are clearly in this summer. If you want yours Irish-style, check out my 2012 book on the topic.

This is appropriately withering.

37% of new heavy trucks sold in China: now fully electric. Not delivery vans — 49-tonne heavy-duty rigs. This one swapped ~550 kWh in just 5 mins. Competitive, proven & inevitable. China's heavy EV truck sales surged 182% YoY in 2025, rising from single digits just two years ago.

Remotely Coerced Violence: 764, The Com Network, and the Hybridization of Threats This article examines 764 and the wider Com Network as a case study in remotely coerced violence and the hybridization of contemporary terrorist and violent extremist threats. ctc.westpoint.edu/remotely-coe...

Very useful video to settle debates (in New Zealand, and elsewhere) on whether increasing speed limits on highways from 100kmph to 120kmph make any sense. You only ever save, at best, around one minute. Taken from Instagram, www.instagram.com/reel/DaP4kyF... #nzpol

Beware the #AtlasNetwork #NZPol #Auspol, manufacturing racism against our First Nations brothers, sisters & Elders so big corps can more easily wreck forests, reefs, lands, rivers, sea & sky pulling out world-ending fossil fuel we don’t even need anymore for hot showers, cold beers & dope rides. ⚡️💚⚡️

hey is the word “eliminate” good when they’re talking about You. just wondering

Enough traveling back in time to kill Hitler. Tell me how you’d go back in time to stop Gamergate from creating the blueprint for our whole reality

Polish rifle company organization 1939 - 2nd version of my TO&E drawing. Polish infantry battalion had 3 rifle companies, Bn HQ with signal platoon, MG company (12 HMGs, 2 mortars). #ORBATBoys

Right-wing extremists remain the greatest threat to German democracy and their number increased significantly to 58,700 last year, the country's domestic intelligence service says

Pretty good point tbh

A quarter of terror attacks in Britain over the past decade have targeted Muslims, but some have gone largely unnoticed because of delays formally declaring them terrorism Most jihadist attacks, by contrast, have been declared within hours of taking place inews.co.uk/news/uk-terr...

Now, i don't speak French, but I'm pretty sure I can see the issue here

It's been the most fun part of this celebration so far. We deserve to amuse ourselves.🤷‍♀️

Old enough to recognize this as a data center

when it zoomed out I gasped

SCREAM

Quietly reflecting that the dumbest thing can remember seeing on TV in recent years is Hodor getting his name. Just so ridiculously lame

Today my colleagues and I are releasing the first outputs from our research 'Who Counts as a Taxpayer? The Taxpayers' Union and Citizenship Rights in Aotearoa'. It's an in depth look at how the New Zealand Taxpayers' Union associates citizenship rights with paying tax www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFuQ...

A friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding at the Great American State Fair bc he knows no one is there.

this wouldn’t work legally because a President has no authority to remove a Supreme Court justice. however the President could instead simply drone strike them. it sounds like i’m being snarky but as a result of the immunity decision this is the actual law.

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...

A global chart we should be proud to be at the bottom of.

I think we should start measuring government programmes in Hayden Donnell's 'metres of roading'. Lowering the age of bowel cancer screening to 45? 5 metres of road. A year of Three Waters? 63 metres of road. Reading recovery? 13mm of road.

saw this question posed, checked the map, immediately burst out laughing

me: should i chronicle history or document current events? funk soul brother: write about now
