💙 Goodnight, Bluesky peeps! 🌟 Keep the faith! 🗽

Peters, Seymour, Willis, et al, DESPISE Wellington, as a city, as the capital, and as a hub of public service and arts. They have constantly and consistently undermined the city and its people, treating us as if we are a problem, when the main problem is that we don't follow their neoliberal wank.

This is hilarious. Putin and his merry band of fuckwits decorated a room with camouflage, he got all dressed up in combat fatigues, and took video of himself shaking hands with 'troops'. Released it under the guise of him 'visiting the front lines'. He was in a warehouse in Moscow. trump's mentor

If Universal had given David Lynch five hours over two movies to do Dune Part 1 in 1984 and Part 2 in 1987, we would never have stopped talking about it. This movie was such a shockingly beautiful disaster...

New York has the Empire State Building climbers. Florida has Con Junior running out for more drugs.

“A big multinational’s Kiwi subsidiary has claimed to be unprofitable and paid no tax in New Zealand for the last two years – yet found the cash to pay a $70 million dividend to its Vancouver-based parent company this year.” Fuck that. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

Meanwhile in Russian Media… “Putin stated that there is no doubt about Russia's victory in the North-Eastern Military District.” I think there is doubt! 🇷🇺: IT’S ALL GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN!!!!!! www.gazeta.ru/army/news/20...

The dire state of most political reporting makes a lot more sense when you remember it is written by people with the memories and attention spans of geriatric acid casualties with an insatiable need for validation and free shit.

Shapiro: When you have a president of the United States who is focused on making money for himself, that corruption leaves us all worse off because it means he’s picking favorites not based on what benefits the American people, but on what benefits him and his children.

‼️ Russia: “Putin ordered the identification of the main "instigators" of the continuation of the war among Kyiv's allies.” So we can’t just hand him a mirror? 🇷🇺: No d*mmit! I NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME! ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/07/04/p...

Luxon is not a fit & proper person. He barely even resembles a sentient human being. He’s a middle management moron at best, who’s never had an independent thought in his life that wasn’t sourced from the Rich Dad Poor Dad self help book or Project2525. Also see; Vacuous inhumane twat. #nzpol #NZ

Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy is a far-right Supreme Court that prioritizes expanding corporate power above all else. I warned of his right-wing nature when I testified against his nomination in 2005.

Submission on the Summary Offences (Move-on Orders) Amendment Bill: done. This one was basically a "fuck you" submission. Because fuck them. This bill is a repulsive piece of social cleansing, and its backers are repulsive pieces of shit.

Russia running on empty: grocery stores warn of food shortages as logistics fall apart The Russia-Ukraine War SITREP No. 1,055, for June 27-30, 2026, is 131 pages long and a full report. There has been an unprecedented level of activity. malcontentnews.substack.com/p/russia-run...

RW govt is all about increasing their county's wealth by selling everything off to overseas corporations who ship goods in/pay minimum wage/send profits overseas, thus reducing local employment, investment, and income, and then tell us it's working because tax hasn't increased...much...sort of

Ministers on fat salaries celebrating michelin star restraunts while ordinary kiwis go hungry and homeless is some real Marie Antoinette shit. #nzqt

Ffs, these dodgy fuckers are really going for the world record of political corruption aren’t they? 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

I've just started reading Chris Wilson and Michal Dziwulski, "He Told Us: How and Australian Committed Far-Right Terrorism in Christchurch, New Zealand" (2026, Allen & Unwin). Already learned a few things and had some suspicions confirmed.

The headline makes it sound like ministers are upset that Treasury's economic forecasts aren't positive enough - that its not cooking the books enough for them www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

❗️Many explosions reported in occupied Crimea. In Dzhankoi, Sevastopol, Kerch but also in occupied Luhansk region, numerous explosions are recorded. One local reported: "There are drones everywhere tonight."

The multi-millionaire KPI King was “unaware” that there’s no night shelter for rough sleepers you say? Well tickle me silly with wealth tax & threaten me with a good time! 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

Breaching what was once considered the most heavily defended airspace in the world, a Ukrainian drone flew through downtown Moscow in broad daylight.

Austerity is for little people. Ministers get to live in luxury at out expense.

I think we just passed oops.

The petty, every-day corruption of police, abusing their power to protect their own and their friends and family...

"All a key can do is lock and unlock its door; that’s all the function it has, all the meaning; it has a responsibility but no rights. It can lock or unlock. It can be found or thrown away." Ursula K. Le Guin, 'Unlocking the Air'

Whoever drew this, they are right on the money. This is the truth. They divide us and then they conquer. It has worked for them for years they will never stop doing it unless we all team up together against them.

In other news: If you are russian and living in Crimea, you should get the fuck out NOW! While you still can. Russia has LOST Crimea and is blaming Putin. Zelenskyy has approved a 40-day SBU operation to increase pressure on Russia and push it toward ending the war using drones. The end is near.

Why do so many "men"?

On NRT: This seems awfully familiar... - norightturn.blogspot.com/2026/06/this...

The multimillionaire Nigel Farage rails against climate action, while gliding from one air-conditioned building to another. He knows that he and his ilk will suffer least. But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".

It is beyond fucking grotesque that this *still* needs saying, but once more for you up the back. "BROS BEFORE HOES" IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE MOTTO FOR NZ POLICE. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...
