4 frame comic of a bearded man with a red plaid flannel shirt and a traditional French Canadian sash in a snowy forest. He says : woo-wee! there sure is a lot of violence happening in the u.s., eh? how glad I am to be in good, reasonable, Pacific Canada! I mean, we do make a fortune out of every ICE raid with our big weapon and tech Canadian companies that are Major contractors of ICE, such as Roschel, Thomson Reuters, Hootsuite and Jim Pattison group*, but what can you do. of course, Gardaworld, a state-funded canadian company, is practically running the human rights violations black hole that is alligator Alcatraz*, but that doesn't mean Canadians are evil, does it? sure, every day that the inaction of Canadian govern- ments allows these companies to profit from the violence makes us all complicit, but at least we get to feel morally superior to Americans. kinda.

Josie Butler talks about engaging in "dildo target practice" around her flat

Though I try to stay humble, I'd say I'm probably the nation's top journalist when it comes to in-depth reporting on the Waitangi dildo strike. Even so, I hadn't picked up this piece of info until this week thespinoff.co.nz/politics/05-...

Happy flying dildo anniversary to those who celebrate it.

I can't afford to contribute right this second but hmu for policy chats! I just finished my Master of Health Policy there.

being honest about the nature of my chronic, debilitating condition is not negativity (pic of bottle of pills and 3 pills) @strongerthanpots

I guess Never Again doesn’t apply to the genocide in Gaza by Israel.

Yes!

Mine's incredible for chronic illness stuff. Randomly tachy and higher temps? Start resting like, yesterday. Pinging me while I'm standing about my HR? Eat salt.

Insurer temporarily halts new policies in Westport due to flood risk The decision will be the first of many as the full force of climate change arrives, a researcher says.

There it is. Always, always follow the money. When insurers say they can't cover you because of climate change impacts you can finally understand it is real and is causing harm today.

Yes, this is a sub-tweet.

It’s true that (white) people are upset about the state of the US now that police violence has extended to people who look like them. And also Nazis and the KKK ilk have a long history of offing race traitors also.

It Was a Point Blank Execution David Farrier's Webworm reports from the scene as ICE executes another American

i was at the scene shortly after ICE executed a man they were piled on top of. my report and photos are on webworm: www.webworm.co/icekillsagain/

"There is no justification for letting that many bullets go. That's messed up, That is no regard for life at all" a lifelong resident told me.

fuck ice.

life ending and infrastructure destroying floods are now an annual occurrence in new zealand. there is no political recognition of this new reality, and thus there is no resourcing for its prevention. we are not ready

FB status update from PM Christopher Luxon Several pictures of him meeting with locals, including two images in a tavern. "With National, New Zealanders get a party with a plan to fix the basics and build the future for all Kiwis, for generations to come. We've done a lot in just two years - and Kiwis can have certainty that over the coming year, National will continue working hard to realise New Zealand's potential and help all Kiwis get ahead. Great fun sharing this message with folk in Wigram while out campaigning across Christchurch with our National MPs today."

I think one might have had the foresight 15 hours ago that having pics of Luxo having a jolly old time in the pub while multiple regions are in a state of emergency miiight not be a great look

I feel so sick and sad for the whānau of the girl missing in the landslide.

The tragic loss of lives in NZ flooding events this week are climate change deaths. Media and govt are avoiding the topic.

Leaders and commentators must acknowledge the emerging reality of ordinary summer rainstorms carrying volumes of water akin to tropical cyclones of previous decades.

Meanwhile, in the middle of all this while people are knee deep in water, the absent PM proudly announces an election date…with no mention of any events either here or overseas. So out of touch, he’s on another planet.

I kind of meant people on here rather than the media!

It's horrific and sudden and so severe. Good on your dad.

I specifically only follow like, the same kiwis I followed over on the bird place. But yes, it's bleeding in quite a bit.

I'm remembering the fear in my wairua when I didn't even know if the urupā my tīpuna are in were okay, around Wairoa in Gabrielle. Worried for the social impact.

Parts of NZ are underwater and I opened this app hoping to see anyone talking about it but I just scrolled for 2 minutes and it's entirely American politics and the NZ general election so??? I don't know. But there are people in Northland calling it worse than Gabrielle.

Oh yeah, this place exists

We watched the New Years fireworks in Auckland on TV last night, and honestly... who's bright idea was it to have a display of what it look like if the Sky Tower ejaculated in rainbow?

These visits by ghostes koude have been three emayles.

Two embroidered Christmas stocking. The left hand one is emblazoned with Santa on a snowy walk, with the name censored out and a pink gift sticking out. The right hand one is patterned with Christmas bells and Scout's name, and laying on top of a bottle of salted caramel whiskey.

So I hadn't bought something for my own stocking, and my kid is the sort of kid to find it un-plausible for there to be a whole entire stocking there missed by Santa. And I needed to replace a bottle anyway... so this year Santa brought Pāpā an entire bottle of whiskey and a blue V. Merry Christmas!
