How would intelligent life on a water world build and power radio transmitters!? How would they smelt metal to build electronics and transmitters!? With their flippers!? www.universetoday.com/articles/are...

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Instead of making NZ more dependent on fossil fuels tied to war zones where Russia, the US and Israel routinely start bombing people, we could embrace renewable energy and be self-sufficient with lower electricity prices ☀️👇

I'm ashamed of our government. Today supporting an illegal war is a nail in the coffin. This is not the NZ of nuclear free, of anti apartheid, of the Treaty of Waitangi Act. This is neo-liberals and populists run amok. Not the country I want nor that I'm willing to excuse #nzpol

“Move all homeless into vacant properties” Poster on Colombo Street.

I'm thinking about how much they all belong in The Hague.

Very pleased to see Helen Clark calling the current NZ govt’s response the disgrace that it is.

it's actually become fucking horrific

They’re calling Sam Altman “the smartest guy with the best responses given the situation.” Everybody is going to love these answers! Absolutely nobody is going to think he’s a horrible goblin man that wants to burn $230 billion on the slop engine of choice for the Iran Conflict

This is the future the left want

Imagine if NZ wasn’t reliant on oil and could meaningfully continue on without all this bullshit. #nzpol

Trump continues that: "heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!" bombing will continue until there's world peace. fuck.

Thank you @maramadavidson.bsky.social and NZ Greens: “Trump and Netanyahu’s unilateral attack on Iran must be condemned as an illegal and unprovoked act against the people of the region and any genuine pathway to peace.” Full statement here:

Fantastic to see this unequivocal statement from NZ Greens condemning the illegal US-Israel attacks on Iran www.greens.org.nz/unilateral_a...

"NZ condemns Tehran's retaliatory strikes..." I'm sorry, you fucking what? So glad we have a fundamentalist piece of shit who thinks he's gonna get "saved" along with the 12 tribes of Israel, in charge of our country. #nzpol

Iran has warned that no vessels will be allowed through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reports. That’s the route for about 25% of the world’s crude oil.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

*taps the evergreen tweet*

Seriously. Fuck Starmer, fuck Albanese, fuck all of these faux men of the people kissing fascist arse and cheerleading genocide and bombing schools. They are making everything worse with their craven capitulation. I hope they all just fuck off.

Not RNZ running puff pieces on Rocket Lab collaborating with the US military while they're murdering school girls 🤡 Peter Beck and everyone working for Rocket Lab should be done for war crimes. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

No, new wars!

I mean, you’re not wrong! Shows my friends worked on for years were canceled and then used as tax write-offs.

this is beyond something that needs to be framed as 'personal opinion' at this point it's not only the correct moral, ethical and political stance in the face of US collapse into fascism and open war - it's correct purely on personal risk to NZ's residents

They're going to need a bigger Hague.

America: This is your *entire* government. Three co-equal branches? gone. Checks and balances? gone. A decomposing psychotic and a fucking stupid hat. You're going to let him kill us all. Aren't you?

his time is eternal. www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/s...

As a) an economist and b) someone who did a whole ass PhD on this very topic, the macro evidence is that house prices are at best concurrent with economic growth and at worst lag it. House prices don't drive the economy. Can NZ's economy recover if house prices don't? www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Will be interesting to hear our obsequious yankophile PM weasel out of condemning the US for its violent aggression.

I’m so sick of being governed by morons. I just hope the majority of voters have noticed this and take action in November. #nzpol

<me, sewing> "Fuck yes, this'll rule!" <me, reaping> "What the fuck! This scythe is way more comfortable than I thought this hand-sewed handle padding would make it!"

lol Nicola Willis is so shit at her job! #NZPol

What happened to our country*? We used to build and invent things that others copied. We were world leaders in science and cared for one another. Now all we do is invest in financial instruments no one understands and underfund everything else. *country in question left intentionally vague.

We have cut the emissions from the services we run by half since 2015. Our climate budget puts an 86% cut by 2030 within reach. Real action. Real results. 🌱

At some point centre left politicians surely have to admit that they should be tilting leftwards, not rightward, to win votes

Vote Green, Aotearoa, if for no other reason than to see what happens when the Herald’s worst nightmare comes to pass.

British bsky this morning:

I arrived on the shores of Aotearoa over 12 years ago. Every year there have been cuts to public research and redundancies of public researchers. I cannot overstate how dire this is and how much of our future we are losing. Public research is one way we look after one another. It matters. #NZPOL

We CAN choose better things in AoNZ. Just like New York and Gorton & Denton. But, like those places, it's going to take effort. Please, if you want to live in a country that supports and uplifts everyone, become a volunteer. We deserve better. Let's help make it happen 💚 ✅️✅️ #NZPol

THIS!!! This is why I talk about “car drivers” and not just “cars” when it comes to collisions.

Remember when Nicola Willis got up on her first days of being finance minister and accused Labour of economic vandalism!? Every accusation is an admission.

Gang profits have doubled, international organised crime strengthening their hooks, NZ has lost experienced cops, retail crime is up and often being ignored, drug use is in full blown crisis, domestic violence at 8 year highs, and the violent crime numbers are off base #nzpol #kiwi

As a life long Trekkie, yes. Of course you can’t trust people who hate the thing they’re a fan of.

this is so god damn funny

Bluesky hive mind, can I please have recommendations for counselling specialising in PTSD management. Either Wellington or online based. I need some tools if I'm going to be effective working in emergency management during another earthquake. Cheers!

Only six people. You could arrest them all and fit them in a single police van.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
