For two and half years, he was forced to listen to the hangings of more than 300 prisoners.

“The whole prison would sing for two or three days before the hanging, to ease the terror of the victims ...It was the most beautiful music on earth, sung in a vile place.”

These Minnesota people — Frey, Walz, Sens Smith + Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, now Ventura — are not fooling around.

That was the one I had wondered about, I shop for tech so rarely I’d not heard of it

What are the most trustworthy online resellers of iPhones? I have never paid-off a phone over months, and not intending to now, but I have to upgrade my personal phone or apps aren’t supported.

What does it mean that when we did a midnight toast, that two wine glasses lost their stems? Nothing good I’m guessing.

Happy new year, jigsaw friends! I received a nice jigsaw felt portable mat for Christmas, but neither puzzle I received fits on it properly 🙄

On the upside the cat seems to be better, on the downside she’s joined us on bed for the great cleaning of butt. 😼

My advice for the new year would be what Regine says to Seth in More Than This: “Know yourself, and go in swinging.”

Don’t let anyone take your light. Not billionaires, not terrible presidents, not radicalized children’s authors.

Decline to change your shape to accommodate the bigotry of others.

Oh yeah me and my 15yo were looking at that the other day and felt the same. Grooooosss

My 15 year old had his four best mates over for a sleepover two nights ago. They chose to start karaoke at 11 pm… now we know how much sound carries within the house

I’m so good at objectivity then too! Sorry to hear about the break-up, I don’t have hot tips sorry, but I do hope that you find a sense of equilibrium x x

Awesome work!

Our grads will stop traffic this week with glam fits, billowing cloaks, and bright smiles, on their way to celebrate their achievements at the MFC and Te Herenga Waka marae. The parade will run from the Old Government Buildings to Queens Wharf on Thursday 11 December.

Govt warned new methane target aligned with 'catastrophic' warming Newly released documents reveal the Govt's new methane target is associated with 2.7C of warming – a level labelled 'catastrophic' by the UN.

Why is this not the only lead story in all our news media every day until the next election? (And every day after that?) This is killing our grandchildren to appease some farmers / corporations today.

Government rejects all of Climate Change Commission's emissions target recommendations It comes despite a Climate Change Commission warning that New Zealand is being hit sooner and more severely than expected.

"It is our view that a detailed framework for post-2050 reductions and removals is best developed closer to 2050." - wrong. We need action now to avoid disaster in 2050.

Amazing, can’t wait!

I just tried to explain that to my mum, who thinks it’s a good idea because rates, but I think the rates will stay the same but we will lose another piece of democracy, and that way lies more corruption and dudes putting people they like in positions of power.

The track record has been:
1. Abolish something
2. Replace it with something meant to do the same thing but less effectively & more corruptly which
3. Actually takes forever to set up & therefore nothing is getting done before the next election & everything is disintegrating
4. ????
5. PROFIT

Whenever some small government fuckwad complains about red tape hurting businesses show them this article and ask them what is the acceptable number of children to expose to asbestos.

I’ve never liked a National Government or National led Coalition government but I can’t remember a time when they completely disregarded human rights and human decency, thanks to Act & NZ first. Every day a new horror. Every day dragged back decades

This is so awful, what a shitty awful thing for them to do

Puberty blockers save lives. I know this from close proximity. In a term of cruel and un-scientific things this might be the most cruel and un-scientific thing.
