I swear New Zealand has some of the clumsiest racists www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Lucia has made an entire stereo this year in carpentry. Kids these days, etc.

I witnessed a scene that shook me to my core today. I need to share it in its full, gruesome detail. I went to a cafe for lunch, and as I was queuing to pay for the meal the woman in front of me was told hers came to $21. She handed over a $50 note, then looked in her purse for a $1 coin. ...

Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

It's time for the New Zealand Labour Party to ditch a policy steeped in eugenicism. actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

“Wianamattas’ emus are a testament to the importance of caring for even the ordinary parts of our living world—the parts that we take for granted.” As part of our series supported by @copower.bsky.social, Andy Mason goes searching for Sydney’s last “wild” emus

The Aristocrats!

This kind of racism will never get hold in New Zealand — because we hate it when housing prices go down.

football’s all like gimme that coconut i want it it’s beautiful but tennis is all like fuck this stupid lemon i hate it

Kristol is finally invading the Iraq of his own mind.

Occasionally when I'm out and about I get Chrome to read me a long article or essay from the web. Today I tried doing that and it launched an AI "summary" consisting of two voices, one male one female, discussing the text badly. It was bone-chilling.

I'm doing this thing on Monday at Trades Hall in Pōneke. Full blurb in the alt-text.

Exposure — the graduate showcase from the university's college of creative arts — is on at the Massey campus in Pōneke. Free entry and, as always, worth the trip. This is a detail from Ana Johnston's beautiful installation, "little bird nestless"

Another way of looking at it is that the society that allows for masked thugs to abduct migrants at will probably deserves to be "all in danger". Maybe all of ICE's detainments are wrongful and that is your actual problem.

The first thing was the humble sewing machine spindle.

Please help us destroy jobs.

Did not enjoy that jolt one bit.

We have put a lot of effort recently in making available the entire archive of OVERLAND’s 70+ year history. In that spirit, on the penultimate day of Subscriberthon we bring you this previously unpublished interview with historian Humphrey McQueen on state violence and the arming of the police.

We also, of course, have our two major prizes up for grabs - a beautiful writer's retreat and a suite of all five Overland prints! overland.org.au/donate

He's running. And that goes for McNulty, too.

Listen what family doesn't have 120 black sheep? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Credit where due though, "On your Marx, get set, Zo!" is pretty good.

“We live in an oligarchy, but with this humidity it feels like a dictatorship.” On Day #5 of Overland’s subscriberthon, we bring you “Force posture agreement”, a new poem by Miroslav Sandev. overland.org.au/2025/11/forc...

On the third last day of our Subscriberthon, the prizes just keep coming - head to overland.org.au/shop today to support us and go into the running to win some amazing prize bundles!

I think this deserves more attn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Woke up today to the news

A good day for Henry Kissinger, who will finally get some company in the brand-new circle Satan and His minions built for him two years ago.

US elections are most theatrical expression of advanced capitalism, and also offer a direct analogy for their private healthcare: they're insanely expensive, employ specialists who command astronomical fees, and produce results that are measurably worse than in just about any other country.

I missed this gem at the time. How stupid would you need to be, on a scale of 1 to 100, to think, let alone say out loud, that cats and dogs are "wild animals"?

On day #4 of Overland's Subscriberthon, we bring you two reviews of books about Palestine: by Yahia Lababidi on ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST THIS and Norman Saadi Nikro on DAYBREAK IN GAZA.

Subscriberthon Day Four is upon us... today we have a prize pack that's ridiculously good - books, download codes, doubles passes, trinkets, treats, and tea! Head to overland.org.au/shop now to go in the running to win!

This is very bad. Also bad: Peter Jackson's Nazi memorabilia on display at the Blenheim museum, and the wretched Gallipoli exhibition at Te Papa made by Weta that lets kids aim a gun at Turkish soldiers. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Let's be clear: the removal of Te Tiriti from the Education and Training Act is an attack on the human rights of every child in every school.

Finally, some good news.

Excellent criticism of Autism New Zealand's bizarre "charter school for autists" proposal by Professor Missy Morton. Congrats also to 95bFM for devoting the air time to the issue. 95bfm.com/bcast/concer...

Wait, BlueSky, what have you done with Morgan Godfery?

"We work at the most automated port on planet Earth. Our job description is literally "assisting automation"." On day #3 of Overland's Subscriberthon, we bring you — who else? — the great Sam Wallman.

The last one in particular, before it completely disappears at the hand of Thatch GPT.

“I say let flesh caress metal. Make it syrupy. They can’t stand up for themselves, I have to lend a hand. Yes, that’s correct, I like that about the job.” On Day #2 of our Subscriberthon, a brilliant new story by Claire Stendell.

Day two of our Subscriberthon is here to ring in November! Thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed or donated so far - your support means the world to us. Head to overland.org.au/shop/ or overland.org.au/donate/ to go in to the running to win our Day Two prize pack!

This is what I expected from the government, but it's incredibly disappointing that Autism New Zealand should go along with it. We need to make "regular" schools cater to neurodivergent students — which will benefit everyone! — not segregate difference.
