A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

Nailed it

'We’re all devastated': Northland families face losing farms to four-lane highway The Bryhams face losing a 100ha dairy farm with six homes built over 60 years.

I'd be willing to bet that all the farmers affected voted for National or ACT

Without batteries, landfills would be so clean, right?

this shit is just beyond parody, man

But he fell for it. He loved it. Lapped it up.
Like a small child.
So incredibly cringeworthy

FIFA peace prize

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

Exactly! I saw Project 2025 and that other dodgy outfit that already had a stack of Executive Orders ready, and knew exactly what would happen. They even wrote it down FFS. This was the culmination of decades of work by Heritage et al.
And here we are.

Exactly.

I read Project 2025 and 💯 believed it would be the guiding manifesto of this trump administration. And got mad at the far lefties campaigning against Kamala for being too corporate.

Same lot who question the lifecycle emissions of an EV compared with an ICE vehicl, and suddenly care about children working in the critical minerals industry.

How can we all influence an increase of #politicalwill ? I believe that better storytelling about leaders already boldly acting is key.

This was a very high tide, but this is what climate change looks like.

Government finances worse than expected as tax take falls Treasury figures, which exclude ACC finances, showed a deficit of $4.9b for the four months ended October - about $700m higher than forecast.

Labour's fault. Not that National crashed the economy with austerity. It is Labour's fault. 🙄

Cyclists, the health sector, teachers, hell, even kiwisavers.

This is how his government rolls on climate

How Police Let One of America’s Most Prolific Predators Get Away When a prosecutor began chasing an accused serial rapist, she lost her job but unravelled a scandal. Why were the police refusing to investigate Sean Williams?

I dunno, I think it's been ripped apart by neoliberal ideology.
We used to have a state that cared.

Why does it feel like everyone hates the state? It's facing a greater challenge than it has in decades, with its critics spanning a far wider spectrum.

Why? Because the State‘s acting like it hates the people.

Exactly. And it doesn’t work, despite all the hype.

Because if the fossil fuel industry can convince govts on CCS, this will extend the life of fossil fuels. CCS is a lifeline for the industry, but wld not stop CO2 emissions. Therefore, fighting CCS *must* be part of the campaign to stop fossil fuels.

Hard to abate: a justification for delay? Claims from both the iron and steel - and cement - sectors that their emissions are "hard to abate" is slowing down real progress these sectors could be making on cutting emissions. This report unpack...

Same could be said for most CCS projects, right?
But Gorgon's a doozy: Chevron paying huge amounts for offsets now
...we don't need CCS for Hard to Abate sectors...
