Labour better come blasting straight into the election with an urgent plan to handle the energy crisis and solarise the country

In the social sciences this is known as the reagan bowtie

Is there a way to return to sender couriered items?

Last night, this friend asked me to drive and escort her home, and my hubby and I helped her check her closets for this man. We weren't really worried, but THIS GUY I MEAN COME OOOON. This is the level we are at

This is why Craig Little, useless old git mayor of Wairoa, needs to go. His bullshit comments about the recent state of emergency put in place for coastal HB EXCEPT FOR Wairoa, pisses on people like these.

Very soon I will be finding out the future of my job (or if I will even have one). I keep going between "gawd, I'm going to be jobless, aren't I?" and "Naaah I'm too valuable." Just got given a presentation, and in the vaguest terms possible, today I'm feeling the latter of the 2 feelings. 😅

Google music suggested I ask Gemini these questions after giving me my quarterly music recap. Dear reader, the recap was playing "Mama" by MCR.

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

happy 20th anniversary of neil bangin out the tunes to all those who celebrate

as promised! a horrible quality video from the techno rave outside Parliament earlier, from like 20 minutes after Orban conceded:

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

The Tom Phillips doco is flawed journalism for many reasons but everyone keeps failing to mention the main issue: the permanent suppressions mean we will never be able to tell the full, actual story (particularly about the involvement of the Family Court) and therefore what’s the point?

All of this. The way our work lives, in my household, have changed since 2022 or so is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. We’re an illustrator and designer who’ve felt it majorly. We were vocal. No one listened. Even ignored because… who cares? No clue or care until it affects them directly.

One of my friends is being harassed by an ex who keeps failing to respect her boundaries. He has spent money to send her unsolicited gifts and to SPY ON HER ONLINE. This dude is broke and he's doing this uggghh I'm so angry

I am sure the astronauts are all VERY GOOD SPORTS and are more than happy to do whatever is asked of them for the sake of science but COME ON 😭

How are people feeling about the cyclone today in Te Whanganui-a-Tara?

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

My grandmother was a devout Catholic her whole life because she grew up dirt poor, and I do mean that, and the only consistency was the kindness of Catholic schools and nuns. She died before Francis, but she would have loved Leo. He's exuding everything she believed in.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

We told my sister to show her kids KPop Demon Hunters. She has a daughter and 2 sons. She said, "but isn't it a girl movie? Don't they sing girl songs?" And I said, "Firstly, you and I both know every boy your age watched The Little Mermaid. C'mon. Secondly, they fight demons????"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment. Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/phin...

When you dehumanise people to the extent that your casual language to describe them undermines the horror you are allowing to be visited upon them, perhaps the key is to actively, consistently and decisively prevent the horror so that never again truly means never again.

Things that work: giant rocket, very precise math, orbital mechanics, cameras, iPhones Things that don’t work: Microsoft Outlook, toilets, sat phones

I was kinda going "do I really wanna name them and potentially set off an avalanche" then I saw their vibe-coded app is $99.99 so: lmao fuck NovelMage

i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot. she’s one of the people that made this possible, and she’s forgotten and unheard from

Integrity is GLOWING (literally)

They are moving so quickly across the Earth, wow! What a view!!

Is this the cyclone heading our way in NZ?

The US right wing in 2000: teenage girls who get pregnant are dirty sluts who will go to hell for this sin The US right wing now: 15-year-olds aren't having babies?!?! They can't wait for *stability*, madness!

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Bursting into the first reading of the bill, waving a large, confused crayfish while yelling "BEHOLD! A MAN!"

I bought a cheap little ereader lately that I can read epubs on. You can also strip the drm from amazon ebooks for your own personal use (do not share) using Calibre. I recommend doing something like this, it's so much cheaper and better for you than this overpriced monopoly nonsense.

in the light of recent global events, we've prepared the following statement

Why is there a summarise button in my outlook now wtf

I feel like I'm going insane, that there is no news media in Aotearoa with enough literacy on trans issues to recognise that NZF's transphobic definitions bill is getting them to spread literal hate speech and lies. "biological female" is not a synonym for "cis woman". Stop treating it like one.

Helluva thread you should read

I really think this is the actual story here. Accuracy means nothing if the sources are poor or even poisoned.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I still think about her

This is Protestant nonsense

I was helped by a very soft-spoken dude at Specsavers today who picked out some glasses I NEVER would have looked at and I've ordered one of them. Pretty pleased with that. 🥰

We didn't deserve this day.

Once again I find my ass too big for normal pants and too small for the "curve" cuts 😒 I feel like they should have different waist sizes and leg sizes for women instead of this bs, tired of it.

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

yep! she's gay

I know someone from Iran with family in Tehran and they said to me that they think life would get worse for Iranians if the US backed off. They also told me a little bit about life under the regime atm. What a nightmare for Iranians. Bombs or have your whole family disappeared, basically.

If Labour has any sense at all, the image of Winston Peters smirking as a journalist asks Marco Rubio whether the US is committing war crimes in Iran will be in ads from now until the election.
