This appears to be Willis and the National Party admitting to the world that Luxon was a completely shit negotiator who was walked all over by his minor party partners when he formed the coalition. Watching them step in their own shit and pretend it's chocolate never gets boring.💩🥚😱🤪

Is this what Act wants for us? #nzpol

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

this comic is 2 years old and needs to be updated due to technological advances; a modern AI girlfriend would tell him to k*ll himself

We in Aotearoa do not treat women politicians with respect. A male dominated world where women are just "add-ons" Fucking sick of the treatment towards any female. What happened to Tory was absolutely disgraceful and politics should be embarrassed and ashamed #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

What are "autism grievance parents"? Those who claim to represent a wider underserved autism community—while working against the interests of autistic people & families who lack grievance parents’ class advantages, or have trouble accessing public benefits: thinkingautismguide.com/2022/11/grie...

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers. Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023. Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

"Quiet, piggy!" #DonaldTrump

We’re in the UK at the moment & I’ve just realised that the many many posters for the Jacinda film and/or book I’ve seen on the underground are not defaced.

Trump is calling for the murder of his political opponents It was five months ago that Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman was gunned down in her home in an act of political violence He didn’t go to the funeral He didn’t lower flags for her He’s riling up his base and it will cause more violence

Some opposition MP should put a "Regulatory Standards Act Repeal Bill" into the biscuit tin, approach the NZ First backbench MPs to sign on in support of it, and then see what happens if it gets pulled from the lottery ... NZ First didn't promise not to vote to repeal it once enacted!

Today is Transgender Day Of Remembrance. Last night the New Zealand government chose to announce that they are blocking access to puberty blockers for trans youth.

The Lady’s Call to Adventure is not really the one she wanted. She knows that if she doesn’t choose to slay this dragon, then they are going to give This Call to some Hero who is 22, went to a fancy dragon-slaying school, and whose dad was a famous dragon slayer. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

"In the last court term, I wrote ten dissenting opinions, more than any other justice. Have you previewed the horror show on the docket for this term? Alito just winked at me and asked if it’s too soon to joke that I don’t have the brain processing power to do this job."

A simple and efficient strategy

Today's mood... (I'm OK, still in the premeditating phase)

Would you please stop putting me in your cartoons?

"When those in power stop seeing themselves as trustees and start acting as owners of the country, the checks and balances in our system lose their meaning."

This regime is ratfucking our democracy. They are giving just 11 days for submissions on the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Bill. The changes would give ministerial powers to dictate outcomes while removing the right to submit on or challenge decisions in court. (1/2)

Reposting this, because it's the best alt text I have ever written.

I just heard the most insane TERF thing ever and I need to share it with you: BIOLOGICAL NAME That’s right. Names are now encoded into your biology, at birth 😂

OMG SPEECHLESS #Aurora has erupted & gone coronal (directly up). Now the entire southern sky

Kim Davis is so angry that the Supreme Court failed to uphold her deeply held religious belief that "marriage is sacred," she's threatening to get three MORE divorces.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Whanau, I did it. Unbelievably, I was born between 1968 and 2004. I couldn’t be sure I’d had 2 measles vaccinations (I definitely had one, it’s in my plunket book). So, I had an MMR booster last week. If you, like me, aren’t sure, go and get one. They’re free and you can book via bookmyvaccine.

It really is extremely funny that no New Zealand media interviewed Helen Joyce, largely because TERF culture has so little mainstream influence here that nobody knows who the fuck she is. Anyway, I believe she’s buggered off home now, leaving nobody the wiser as to who the fuck she is.

There's no such thing as conservative feminism.

That NAF Coalition insists abuse survivors complete criminal check for their claim is bad enough. Not making an exception for a terminally ill claimant is disgusting. She had weeks to live. Died the day she got the form #PutTheNatsLast it's where they put you #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Alternate framing - People learnt the impact of transmission during the pandemic and now are less likely to come in and get everyone else sick.
