In 1985, when the US was at the height of its power, we told them "No, we will forge our own future, no to nuclear weapons and the ships that carry them". 40 years later, when the USA's reputation is in tatters, with their power and trustworthiness in free fall, we are bending over for them.

Was watching the final episode of The Crown tonight. Started googling Archbishop of Canterbury. Working my way through the recent holders of the title. Came to Sarah Mullally, announced on… what… today? Literally an hour ago. Mind blown. 🤯

Luxon says NZ 'neither pro The Fellowship Of The Ring nor pro Sauron' #NZPol

“Medicine is Hamas”

We went from Ardern's govt changing gun laws in a week flat in response to an attack on our Muslim whānau to Luxon's govt refusing to acknowledge the Palestinian state during its genocide. What a spineless mob.

…revealing that he has long fallen for political manipulation from Israel.

Last night I dreamt that it was post election day 2026 and this current lily-livered, inhumane, money-loving, spineless and amoral government was a thing of the past. Needless to say, I woke up slightly happier.

Happy birthday to me! No time to go for a run today so hope to head into the Silverpeaks on the weekend to try the new gear out.

He did the meme.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Breathless reporting across the industry on unconfirmed reports that Kirk's killer may have once breathed same air particles expelled by a trans person, meanwhile no interest in ironclad proof that yet another school shooter was a Nazi.

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

I totally had this as a Reichstag moment. I’m a little shocked* that it’s actually a Night of the Long Knives moment. *Not really shocked

Look, it’s just a fire. What could possibly go wrong from here?

Why are 90% of op-eds scolding liberals for the way they talk about threats to democracy rather than scolding conservatives for threatening democracy

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Thank goodness we don’t have any “never again” moments in our country’s past… 😬

Former Labour Ministers of health hang your heads in shame. My overall response to this is “Well that wasn’t so hard to say, was it?” www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

They really want to make AI as dumb as they are themselves.

Labour: “Let’s force through a once-in-a-generation health system restructure that no one asked for in the midst of a global pandemic that will doom it to failure with resulting massive fiscal waste.” National: “Hold my toy stethoscope.”

When they said that AI would kill us all this is what they meant. PEOPLE would kill us USING AI.

Stop reacting to journalists’ deliberately provocative opinion pieces. They are being paid to generate a reaction with their writing and when you look at it like that, you quickly realise that it’s all just so… YAWN!

If you see this, post something pink.

also, imagine being a government official with such a tenuous grasp on the nature of political discourse that you think censoring a bunch of Extremely Debate Club Teens is not gonna Streisand Effect you into the event horizon

This govt is just constitutionally incapable of tolerating dissent, even from literal children Just cowardly, craven behaviour. I hope one of these kids does a haka about it www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
