The Coast Guard just removed the Clearwater from the tall ship parade in NYC for having "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions” banners. They were escorted out by the Coast Guard, US Navy, and NYPD. www.instagram.com/p/DaYOP8OlIq...

This is an important long read about gendered violence and suicide in the US military. Its layout on my phone is regularly interrupted by adverts and links to other articles, so make sure you've reached the real article end where the photos of the authors are. theintercept.com/2026/06/30/a...

If you’d read this in a sci-fi novel, it would be perfect. “July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the nation. The capital grounds are empty, the crumbling remains of a despot’s carnival baking under the heat and haze. The toxic air above is shifted by nothing save the passes of military jets.”

The only team that actually beat Cape Verde had the best player of his generation on it and they were barely able to do it.

To repeat: NZ finds itself at the bottom of the OECD on lobbying - we basically have no effective rules governing lobbying This is eroding voter trust in democracy. It is corruption in plain sight NZ needs fair transparent regulations-any political parties ensuring this will get voter support

A load bearing belief in the US center-left is that Israel's Prime Minister, Defense Minister, Finance Minister, National Security Minister, Minister of Heritage, Settlement Minister, and senior army commanders are all small beans who represent no one but an 18yo college kid represents Palestine.

yes. you cannot win calvinball by taking advantage of the new rules. you have to fire the refs

Everyone’s pulling out all the memes – Fyre Festival, Willy Wonka experience, Spinal Tap’s Trumphenge – but as someone who loves both home reno & cosmetic surgery subreddits, I can tell you this is exactly what happens when you get AI to “design” something & then try to make it happen on the cheap

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

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.

Crocodile Dundee has no time for Pauline Hanson’s shit.

It is also extremely notable that this shift in public opinion has happened despite much of the mainstream media and mainstream politicians holding their conventional line on supporting Israel and declining to call its actions genocide. Many people have simply disagreed.

HAPPY FRIDAY TO EVERYONE WHO HATES SLOP

A lot of discourse since Tuesday hinges on idea that some politicians are owed a seat, it’s their turn & it’s problematic to not back them. & that’s so odd to me — because not only you have to wait for 88-year olds to deign to retire, but then there’s someone else waiting who’s owed & you can’t run?

I know this has been pointed out many times by many people but I just want to reiterate: Anthropic is basically using Kurt Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole as the Claude logo

the Transition Research Fund, which replaces New Zealand's storied Marsden Fund, allocates just $6.2 million for science research relating to 'healthy people and a thriving society' that's less than my one single lab has spent in the last few years, but for all NZ basic science about humans #nzpol

Every single detail of the Police actions and decisions reported in this article is fucking appalling. The only people being served by the NZ Police are abusers and dirty cops. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

It's a real fucking mystery why so many women don't trust the police

I guess what gets me about this sort of thing is that people keep writing these sorts of things like we’re still in Peak Woke when we are in year 10 of the entire world revolving around the king of rapists.

Is it more of a kick in the guts than causing families grief by preventing early detection and treatment of treatable cancers because our healthcare system is phenomenally underfunded though?

united kingdom politics, 2016-2026

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

Goooooooaaaaaalllllll!!!

This is incredible. So satisfying. I was going to say it’s “cutting” but it’s more a knifing to the gut or maybe a beheading. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I have (historically) been sympathetic to Starmer. But, for me, he blew it with his pivot to the right, a pivot that also proved electorally disastrous. So why on earth support a PM who goes against your principles *and* is so unpopular it makes a hard right government very possible?
