I had that same argument with a banker in a bank on Ventura Boulevard in LA in the 90’s.

When corrected by her manager she complemented me on my ability to speak English.

What do you call a Gov who blocks a specific medical treatment against advice of ALL the actual medical experts?

Sociopathic ideologues?
Terminal fuckwits?
Deluded religious nuts?

Nope… It’s the RFK Jr. Gov.

The truth is: This gov doesn’t care about you, your opinions… or your health.

What does β€œCompass Group” do as its main business? (Because it’s obviously not food)

And does any company, school or gov dept want to business with a company that is this deeply deeply incompetent?

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her.
What a racist piece of shit.

I’m voting Green for various reasons, but mainly b/c Labour seems to be trying to β€œmove to the middle” by becoming National-Lite and allying with NZF…

That is both suicidal, and, given what Dementia Peters has done, an utter amoral betrayal.

I don’t vote for parties that piss away their integrity.

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

I used to think she was as consciously doing a bit for money, because Fox taught her how easy it was to grift dumb republicans.

Now I’m not so sure.
I think she may actually be consciously evil by choice.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

The water use of data centres is a valid environmental concern but I also think we need some perspective:

Water footprint of an AI prompt: 0.473l

Water footprint of a chicken nugget: 86l

Water footprint of a beef hamburger patty: 2500l

David Seymour, Paula Bennett defend $357k exit payment to former Pharmac head A $357,000 payout to the former chief executive of Pharmac was "well beyond the norm in the public sector", says Labour.

While National slashes public services and tells everyday families to tighten their belts, the top brass are walking away with a massive payout. #nzpol

Why does Simon Watts look like someone hit David Seymour in the face with a plank?

Maybe the consistent, shameless lying has a physical effect?

Luxon is a fine exemplar of the β€œIdiot CEO”, does nothing… gets all the credit… if there’s something bad he β€œknows nothing” about it…

Simon Watts knows better (based on my interactions with him) but is deliberately lying, gaslighting and playing Luxo’s Lap Dog. What a sad fucking fraud.

It's 4,000 BC.

You are immortal.

The Egyptian pyramids have not yet been built.

You decide to save $10,000 EVERY DAY, never spending a cent.

6025 years later, it's 2025.

You still don't have as much money as Gina Rinehart.

TAX. THE. FUCKING. BILLIONAIRES.

IF LABOUR FORM AN ALLIANCE WITH NZ FIRST AND ITS DEMENTED LYING POS LEADER who has casually helped this bunch of shits screw NZ…

Then I apply the same rules I applied to National when they started lying & policy-less gaslighting for power:

I will never vote Labour again.
Ever.
