In a democracy drop kicks have a right to vote 🤷🏽‍♀️

Slide from council committee presentation showing Midtown Programme Construction Timeline with a bunch of stuff being finished by or during 2026 - notably Te Waihorotiu station, Te Ha Noa Victoria St, Wellesley St bus improvements, and some of the midtown wasterwater diversion work. With a map of where these works are located.

Some years back when we had crappy year (2020) after crappy year (2019) I decided I wasn't going to look forward to the next year I was going to look forward to 2026 - on the basis that it was when CRL and Central Interceptor would be finished. Feeling vindicated right now w this slide:

& you know the really fucking lazy arsed stupid thing about this the whole story is based entirely around the reckons of Seymour.

There are conference planners up & down the county, give ONE of them a call & get a back story, some context - we all know Spanky's words are 100% bullshit.

“Ideological Sludge”: How New Zealand Is Quiet Quitting Climate Action New Zealand once stood out as a world leader on climate change. In June it became the first country in the world to abandon a commitment to phase out oil, gas and coal.

“Among bigger programs to get axe were an emergency response fund for extreme weather events & natural disasters, a clean investment fund to help encourage renewables & measures to support the uptake of EV’s..”

Luxon very quick to moot NZ’ers having to support selves in floods. $ all gone. #nzpol

"“The main issue with tree planting is that govts + corporations think they can use tree planting to offset their emissions instead of reducing fossil fuels,” she says. “From an atmospheric science point of view, it doesn’t work. ""

I wear a mask a lot. Find that non wearers are triggered by it. Accusing stares. Even questions why. Humans are very peculiar animals.

Cassandra is 100% correct but I must add: it's also typical rightwing coward shit. Men like Seymour and Peters and Jones are very happy to make direct, inflammatory attacks against their opponents then run away crying "I misspoke" "it was the heat of the moment" "it was just a joke" when called out

David Seymour is a anthromophised cry for help, shuffling through existence in a limp-faced skin sack, trying to make friends and influence people by being the most odious suck up cliché everyone mocks behind his back.

He could've made a choice to be a decent person. He chose to be cruel.

New Zealand is facing an unprecedented erosion of our public healthcare under a rightwing government. They're burning essential public services down as fast as the public let's them get away with.

Do they know how many spoof calls are going to be made to said holiness.

Do they know how many cones will be shifted by pranksters.

Where is Brook V V's house I wonder?

Here we go.

I don't have much to say about this one to encourage you to read, and the title will turn many of you away - and maybe it should - but I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't get this one out:

May the leaders continue to leak.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from VZV- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against dementia and REDUCE the risk of cardiovascular disease! 🧪🧵⬇️

They've always been Nazis, it's just the social framework wasn't there to be public about it. Now they're feeling emboldened by things like the world's richest man giving them a whole Nazi site.

This is why you absolutely do NOT have to find 'common ground' with this stuff. You squash it.

Ti's interesting to look at the long history of the C word. It appears that it was the Americans that really turned it into what we hear today.
For men... maybe
WANKER.
KNOBHEAD (luxon).
PRICK (as in very tiny penis).
None have quite the hit but using the lots might elevate them.

Same....Have yet to go further but can feel the move to rage.

Was at the equal pay protest in Remmers.
There was a large contingent of "pearl wearers" in the crowd.
The language and outrage at brook van knobhead from them was so inspiring.
Lesson... Never cross a menopausal woman.

Listen to this if you have 8 minutes and are not averse to swearing. We the left need to organize because the fascists are very determined.

Any bets this won't make TV news,?

Off to st johns soon.

Her soul is being sucked out through her pinched face. I wish her well as she turns into a withered crone.

I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere.

They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.

I hate that journos keep using the phrase 'War on woke.' It gives the whole thing cover.

It's a war on science, a war on human rights, a war on evidence and decency. It's a war on democracy and a habitable planet. Call it those things, call it what it is. #nzpol
