Three powerful white men refuse to apologise to a young wahine Māori who was right all along? Colour me shocked.

Hey @support.bsky.team What is going on with Sarah Kendzior? Why was she suspended with no explanation? Are you doing this to lesser-known people that we’re never going to find out about?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

15 reasons why the Michelin Guide arriving in New Zealand is a bad idea

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Whereas the right, who don't have any principle beyond powe, go "nah, here's what we're doing, stuff the experts and whatever we campaigned on, get it done" and because their actions are in line with the status quo, they get cast as The Proper Way To Do Things even as they tear the country apart

I dont think people understand how insane a 50% rise is, in just 2 years. Nicola Willis is so bad at her job she's destroyed her own electorate. NZs Capital City is dead.

It's brilliant and exciting to see Zohran Mamdani elected.
More leaders like him please, and fewer like Cuomo, Schumer and the rest of the oligarch-pleasing, hope-destroying, election-losing, right-centrist political class.

😩😩

LLMs are racist snd sexist because the material they’re trained on is racist snd sexist and they’re owned and operated by racist, sexist billionaires.

Stop using this shit. It’s fucking up your brain.

"Here in Canada, many of us believe we are witnessing the fall of the U.S. empire. Would a civilized country limit health care or food assistance for the poor; leave crops rotting in the fields; destroy the educational system; target women and attempt to eliminate their reproductive rights while refusing to help resulting babies; abuse desperate immigrants; pretend to believe in Christianity while perverting and debasing its tenets; and refuse to protect the Earth from destruction? The world is watching.” -Paul F. Haacker, Canadian public radio journalist THE RESISTANCE

Facebook post from National saying that "your" investment flat helping pay your kids' uni costs will be taxed by cgt.

what if... hear me out... we made uni free AND did the cgt?

It’s the same for breeders of British Blue Shorthair cats 😳

Disyre Papillons. It’s most advanced feature is cursive.

Loketi Papillons. It starts with a novel about Iowa.

ET’s papillon. I, honey, cannot tell you how ugly this is. Nor do I want to. Lavender. Small pics (click to enlarge!). Hyperlinks in blue (one to an article from 2008).

Delyteful papillons. Yes it’s spelled that way. What if I wrote an inquiry & started it, “Deer Idyotte?”

Every Papillon breeder’s website comes from the dawn of the Internet.

my god, what a paragraph

(from tonight's @hcrichardson.bsky.social)

What I always look for in a leader is someone who can form an instant connection with a narcissistic sociopath.

This took a couple of minutes to fill out and would mean so much to our precious libraries

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

Removing the politics from history by focusing on the study of Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and Victorian England because these are topics where the way that political and military power shapes the destinies of peoples just doesn't come up.

Gonna be so hard for such an idiot-sandwich-buffet of intellectually bankrupt bad faith lazybrained statements to be understood as anything but asserting white supremacy over the curriculum.

Community Scoop » New Curriculum Takes Politics Out Of History

Don't see the new Aotearoa NZ histories curriculum online yet. But Act are already crowing about having gutted it.

In sum, tax me more if it’ll help more people achieve the type of housing security I have been so fortune to have.

The idea of a housing ladder means I’m climbing up over someone else, yuck. Housing for all!

this is bad, needless to say

Please please folks check your vaxx status & that of your kids. Measles is not “just a childhood illness”; before vaccinations it killed and disabled millions of people every year. Remember, your vaccine doesn’t just protect you, but those too young or too immunocompromised to be vaccinated.

"they funded a motorway instead of life saving science" should be an easy political slogan for their competition but who knows if anybody will seize the moment

I think they are clearing kids at school alphabetically 😂’

If you want to:
Reduce crime, fix poverty first
Reduce traffic, fix public transport first
Improve employment, fix welfare and increase taxes
Increase productivity, make education free

Why do right wing govts do the opposite of what works? And they lie about it. So do “their” economists.
