Iran's missile math: $20,000 drones take on $4 million patriots Both Tehran and Washinton may run low on weapons in a matter of days or weeks. Whoever can last longer will gain a serious advantage.

Using $4 million missiles to destroy $20,000 drones shows what military planners have seen since the Ukraine war: cheap weapons can chew up resources meant for much more complex threats.

Gloriavale ex-leader wins appeal, avoids jail for 20 years of sex offending Crown lawyers had argued prison was needed given his role as Gloriavale leader.

Way to show girls and women - yet again - that their trauma means nothing and they may as well not bother trying to get justice.

This should break people

Has Luxon said anything about this? Has he been asked about it?

Dirty water, death and decline: the inside story of a privatisation scandal There is no end in sight to the pollution caused by a ‘broken’ system. Experts say it could even be getting worse

Anyone know if any NZ channels are planning to screen "Dirty Business", the docudrama about Britain's broken water system and all the death and disease it's caused?

Feels extremely topical and timely - and from what I've glimpsed, it's a powerfully told story: www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Great to see this, and see some of the experts from NZ who were critical in correcting outdated advice represented.
Also noting it was often vulnerable communities/ those with early experience of Long Covid who were early adopters and pushed these comms online too, consistently ahead of governments.

Released these to my mailing list this morning and now there are only 3 left at the discounted price, in case you had your eye on one.

And if they do, who is going to strike back at them and with what?
That’s what makes me feel sick. Their bed buddy still has never been brought to justice over the civilian atrocities they caused the last time they deployed them.

Applies to Aotearoa NZ as well.

Hot take of mine, but I think there are better things to spend $22,000,000,000 on than one (1) road.

With Saint Patrick’s Day coming up, my roast silverside corned beef recipe is free on the Ruapehu Lowline Angus website. I am proud to have worked with them to develop a number of recipes.

If you are in #AoNZ, they are a great source for incredible beef!

I’m at the early end of GenX and proudly wear that badge 😁

Not just Gen Z. I’ve seen a bunch of oldies do the same. Drives me nuts

Question 12 is Marama Davidson to the Prime Minister.
The dork-egg-flounder PM history stick around until the end of Question Time.
Watch him drowning in his own word salad.

Can we stop giving Luxon his Very Special Boy Award for International Relations in every article please? He went on some trade junkets and shook hands in his ill-fitting suit, then he signed a very bad trade deal with India to say he'd done one. None of this describes any skill or talent #nzpol

Kinda glad I don’t have a sweet tooth tbh

yes and thank you for the excuse to share one of my all-time favorite tweets (from @longwall26.bsky.social)

I’m not so sure about that. There are a bunch of disaffected National voters who would never vote Labour who think Peters is some kind of political genius who will keep any party in line. They are also people who are disengaged from actual politics & work off vibes

I was sitting there pregnant, kind of like, I don’t want to do this. I spoke to my mom about it, but she’s very religious and anti-abortion. The same thing with one of my closest friends, which surprised me. My husband is pro-choice, but he was like, “I really want to have this child. I think you’re really anxious, it’s a big change for you, but it’s a great thing. You’re going to be a wonderful mom.” He really wanted this. During pregnancy, I felt embarrassed. I’ve had body-dysmorphia issues since I was a kid, and I felt so massive. I used to be a track athlete and have always been fit and active, so I didn’t like feeling so heavy and restricted when trying to do the things I’ve always done, like hiking. During my third trimester, I didn’t want to leave the house so that people wouldn’t see me. My son’s birth was also traumatic. His shoulder got stuck in my pelvis and the epidural kept wearing off; the nurses told me it was fine, that I was overthinking. They held me down and jumped on my pelvis to dislodge his shoulder while the doctor reached up and got him out; I still have pain from it. When my son was placed on me, I didn’t feel anything. It was surreal. I told the nurse, “You’ve got to put him back in the bassinet, I’m about to puke.” Then I did, all over myself. No one helped me to the bathroom or showed me how to wash myself.

So sick of the Madonna imagery and worship that claims every woman wants to be a mother. Men can STFU forever about that.

It gives us a bit of hope??
