maybe we should hold a No Cunts march next weekend

Analysis: MPs' jokes about sexual violence and attacks on migrants were 'made while wearing a tie'. It's wrong to conflate the conduct of democracy with a suit jacket. Laura Walters reports.

Holy fuck! No Kings protesters are marching through Center City in Philadelphia. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

This is well worth the time to read the whole piece. It also exposes rubbish arguments like government finances are the same as household finances very clearly. #NZPOL

I’m a patient right now in one of our hospitals, receiving exceptional care from surgeons, anaesthetists, doctors, nurses & healthcare assistants. But they are tired, frustrated and angry, and should be treated better by (and I quote) “our 12yr old health minister” #Respect #Solidarity #NZPol

Some good news - 38 chicks fledged (a record). Also - the chicks needed less supplementary feeding than in past years. But sad to read that ‘‘There were several chicks which lost one or both parents & required a lot of support from the rangers." 😔 www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin...

Day 18, being a weekend and all shoulda had more time allocated but it did not. #beatober2025 youtube.com/shorts/Pg14l...

The sudden uptick in total slopafication is ....something .....💀

Urban rural split or living on peppercorn lease land or where stolen land still more obviously benefits descendants of settlers. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/13/u...

The thought has always been certain parts of government keep data separately because we want compliance. IRD is only concerned about taxes. If we remove the means for immigrants to be recorded as paying taxes all we will achieve is MORE migrant exploitation as they will be completely off the radar

Oh yeah this is this week. Ōtepotic lmk if you want more details!

Personally, I'm proud of this gray scale drawing of the larynx

Ko te rā 13 o #Beatober2025 tēnei Rāhina. Mahi mutu kore but beatober must (maybe) go on youtube.com/shorts/ClP-w...

The lab leak conspiracy theorists running the US health agencies are getting kookier & kookier 🤦‍♂️ In fact, research shows that “the Lyme disease bacterium is ancient in North America, circulating silently in forests for at least 60,000 years” (medicine.yale.edu/news-article...)

"Now it has impacted me, personally, for more than a few weeks, I'm going to throw out some common historical misconceptions to, ironically, attempt to demonstrate how I'm much more in touch with the masses than this bloke"

Todd McClay saying farmers don't need a stick to do the right thing 🙄 Yeah National, only 18 to 19 year olds need to be beaten with a stick Have you considered hitting the farmers with some of your tough love Luxon? Well of course not, we all know farmers are special and we're not #NZPol

Here are two suggestions for a more vibrant democracy: - no urgency unless famine, war, pandemic, etc. - no press releases or document dumps fri-sun. Mon - Thursday releases only. Inspired by the select committee dropping the RSB report late on Friday and yesterday's climate change announcement.

"We don't have a bottomless pot of taxpayer money, but together they need to work through that with government employers and unions," Luxon said. It's bottomless for lethal weapons but never for teachers, nurses or public service. Roche can GTFO -the teachers have been compromised to death. #nzpol

Day 12 more chaos lo #beatober2025 youtube.com/shorts/p-ZyR...

And this one has a bad mammal in it for Day 11 of #beatober2025 youtube.com/shorts/NohlM...

Looks like I forgot to post yesterday for day 10. This one is a little odd maybe but has everyone's favourite manu centre stage youtube.com/shorts/1HVRr... #beatober2025

Who is doing the read for this? If they're an Aussie I'm somewhat impressed with both mita lol youtu.be/h-yjkAXxnMA?... #linguistics

sorry i know i’m TPM’s biggest hater (rawiri packing a sad because maiki asked a legitimate question lol) but the american style psychobabble about believing in yourself is so weird. people are starving man

There's actually heaps of living lyric legends from Aotearoa imho but Don McGlashan is right up there. Does anyone else think that Marsha might be the UNSC veto power lol. But Hirini Melbourne is the greatest poet nay greatest artist Aotearoa has ever produced and I won't be taking questions.

Finally got out the ole rakuraku for day 9 of #beatober2025 youtube.com/shorts/EXJGg...

Apparently the pro Palestinian movement is just Qatari money and I checked my bank acc this morning and there was no Riyals in it. Damn just having the right opinion for free out here.

Just got sent this from an article by Bryce Edwards. This is completely false, and he never once fact-checked it with me. My campaign was run by me and my small volunteer team. Comments like this reflect a tired mindset that assumes women can’t succeed in politics without a man pulling the strings.

Kia ora. Welcome to weird one for Day 8 or #beatober2025 from Perspex Window. Go subscribe to @perspexwindowmusic on yt u keen on some beep boop with nice little videos :) youtube.com/shorts/UZWiC...

Who on Earth is meant to fork out for these young people’s rent, food & transport *in a different city* now that jobseeker benefit is gone? Their parents on $65k, struggling to pay their own rent, power bills, and $10 butter? Do these people never think beyond the end of their glib sound bites?

“Luxon said the government did not want to "send a message to young people" that they could "just drift into welfare and that's it". I know someone with *two* entry level roles who got *hundreds* of applicants. There aren’t enough jobs. Media accepting this propaganda at face value is concerning.

Appreciating the summer time evening if it's still blimmin freezing. Here's Perspex Window's (that's my music thingy) day 6 music fragment for #beatober2025 youtube.com/shorts/Lca6m... This is a fundraiser for a music charity in the wretched USA. Go give them some pingas if you have any to spare

Thank you for sharing, @florgoth.bsky.social , my friend!:) I'm truly happy you chose to spend your time sharing my music.

Is our government seriously gonna be "oh well sucks to be them" about NZ citizens being taken hostage? The fuck #nzpol

As of 5pm Oct 2, over 200 people from 37 countries have been abducted According to Israeli spokesperson, the operation continues While the remaining vessels continue to sail towards Gaza Despite sea mines, Skunk spray, water cannons, threats, ramming of vessels, blinding lights etc #NZPol

Live tracker for Sumud flotilla globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/ Usually I watch these type of maps to see swimmers make it across Cooks Strait and other swimming routes. So much more at stake here

Good start to #beatober over here lol

Still a long way from the goal. I understand the cost of living crisis is affecting us all, but of you're in a position where you wouldn't miss $5 consider pledging to make this happen

What an absolutely appalling set of circumstances, an economy primarily based on increasing real-estate values, with a very high risk profile.

We watch a people go through an attempted genocide, and we sit back and say you are no people. You have no state. For you see, we are friends with both you and your murderer.
