Just read a reckon that said, regarding Trump's Gaza peace stitch up, "the real story here is Trump's mental decline" Call me old-fashioned but I'm thinking that globally televised genocide, war crimes, and systematic disenfranchisement of Palestine is the real story. Fuck Trump and his decline.

I am at the dental school with kid. If you dont like drills this is not the place to be. Cheap though.

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Sundar Prichai, Musk, Ellison et al should all be investigated, humiliated and arrested

My alternative and equally sensible peace proposition for Gaza - Israel withdraws, everyone else who did nothing to stop genocide pays for a rebuild (with significant improvements), it's governed by a Palestinian administration facilitated by Egypt

OPINION: By not recognising a Palestinian state, NZ puts its own hard-won reputation on the line ⬇️

"As Amy and Kirsten attempt to find the killer, they also find themselves caught in a wider conflict over energy and resources in the polar region" Slightly poor taste as we all queue up for drinking water and hold energy supply emergency drills in the town they're filming in 😂😂

EXC: Plans are underway for a coordinated strike across the public sector on October 23 featuring: - Nurses - Teachers - Doctors - and more If the ballots go ahead it could well be the biggest coordinated strike in NZ history www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

In the last few months ive met some millionaires in the 100s of millions bracket. Interesting people

Does anyone have access to the consumer nz article on cordless stick vacuums??

No longer required to retrofit disabled access or bring fire safety up to recent code when remediating www.beehive.govt.nz/release/eart...

"Killing/eating other contestants not seen as a drawback to success"

mealy-mouthed cowards.

Buried in the detail about reducing earthquake strengthening is the removal of requirements for disabled access and fire safety. You know who does that? Sociopaths.

📢 A jury found Tim Jago guilty of sexually abusing two teenage boys in the 1990s.

I guess if the experts think it's OK?

New sticker

Shitty weather. Hailing now

Countries that recently recognised Palestine e.g. UK, Canada, Australia, France etc. ALL put in conditions to exclude Hamas - our NZ govt is using it as a shield for their moral failures #nzpol

I have colleagues, friends, who saw the CTV building collapse like a stack of pancakes. But, I guess this government thinks we've all forgotten about that.

The dog remains relaxed

This Sealion at Te Rauone beach verbalises my deep anger and angst at NZ's inability to sanction Israel and recognise the state of Palestine. Mother Courage echos silently and Brecht rolls in his grave.

How unempatheic can someone be in telling everyone to be "proud" in doing nothing to stop a genocide? #nzpol

Take a break from Updates on Fascism and spiritually reset with the 1980 IKEA catalog ikeamuseum.com/en/explore/i...

werner herzog -or- richard attenborough whomst would you prefer to hear say ‘labubu’?

#nzpol Attention: Chris Luxon, Winston Peters, and David Seymour. 1. Aotearoa New Zealand is NOT proud of your decision. You have shamed us terribly. 2. It is not a conflict. It's a f*ckin genocide. You have sided with Israel when it is committing GENOCIDE. 🧵 www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

I wonder if a contraception Summer Holiday Special would be a good advertising campaign

Goosberry promisee - I have searched the garden for seedlings and only found BIG plants sorry

Utterly deranged three headed government in New Zealand right now

'out of the three mass shootings today'

Ross Bell is the reason that users of prohibited substances and drug law reform activists strongly distrusted the motives and actions of the NZ Drug Foundation when Bell was running it, and now everyone can see why.💩 #nzpol

BREAKING: Peaceful protestors arrested outside the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool Yet more peaceful protesters are being arrested today and hauled from the streets by police - a scene which just a few months ago would have been shocking but is quickly becoming the norm... 🧵

OMG watching John Campbell eviscerating Cluxon on TVNZ+ Cluxon is twitching and looking ill. Huge breathing’s into mic like he’s gulping. Then he looks and sounds pissy. Blinking rapidly. ‘ I’ve spoken to a tange of countries up and down err around the world’ . #nzpol

There are moments in a person's life where we realise the system we spend our lives upholding is morally bankrupt, and that we must strive to put sand in the gears of the machine no matter the personal cost if we wish to sleep soundly again. I like to think this is such a moment.

you should probably clean up all this existential dread, we’ve got company coming over later

Going into this week like

❌ We have a two-speed recovery - the primary sector is leading us to salvation ❌ Let's be clear, higher export prices are helping us reduce our deficit with the rest of the world (a bit). But, the primary sector is near-meaningless jobs wise. Check out the little piggy pink line. And... [5/n]

Excellent bit of fact checking by Liz McDonald and Charlie, takes Seymour's claims apart. It would be great if this kind of rigourous journalism was the norm not the exception.

I've been feeling pretty crap for a few weeks but daylight savings has knocked me for 6. So...finished watching Alien Earth. I liked it!

Fair enough, they have to be stopped

I'm quite literally reading 1984 right now and this is entirely too on the nose. It was not an instruction manual

At least my DNA kinsmen have got it right. “To do nothing is not neutrality. It is complicity,” youtu.be/-YqoY7xAluY?...

Reminder: National has always taken the side of Apartheid regimes.

Exactly this. #nzpol
