Cartoon. Title: “Just Around the Corner” Image shows a woman and child walking towards a street corner. The woman is saying, “I hear bells. Do you hear bells?” Around the corner, hidden from view, is Father Christmas holding a Christmas tree with bells on, waiting to hit them.

It’s that time of year when layoffs are announced, the cost of living crisis really bites, the govt continues to screw over Māori, the disabled, low-wage workers, the unemployed, AND the climate.
But hey, #Christmas is just around the corner…

The Olympics had allowed trans women to compete since the 2004 games.

Out of 10s of thousands of competitors, only one trans woman ever qualified. She came last.

Zero medals. Zero.

Zero.

Yet the far right has convinced elites they were dominating.

Cartoon. Title: COP30: NZ'S GUTTING ITS OWN CLIMATE PACT. Two panels. First a not so great caricature of Todd Muller (hey, it's been a long time since I had to draw him lol) he's standing holding a report that says Framework he's patting James Shaws shoulder kindly saying "Nice work!". James Shaw (again not a great caricature but at least it kinda looks like him) holding the earth in his hands says back, "Something we agree on!" At the bottom it says - 2019 Bi-partisan agreement. The 2nd panel Simon Watts is leaning back and tripping over what could be the opposition leader Chris Hipkins (he's dropped the earth and it's slow motioning towards the ground where is smashes. Simon is saying to him, "HA! HA! Not anymore!" And under that panel it says, 2025 Bye bye bi-partisan.

A sad day for all...

My grandparents would lock the downstairs rooms at night in their 1930s house (UK), I think they thought it might deter burglars?

The attempted bid to turn Kelston Boys College into a charter school should send shivers up everyone's spine. Libertarian dogma attempting to undermine the school with a nearly 100% Māori and Pacific Island roll is classic Act party racism in action.

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

I changed my settings this morning and am happy to say I saw your tweet just now.

Screenshot of the top of a Bsky feed, with a red circle around the hamburger menu in the top left.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

Cartoon. Two panels. Left panel shows a sleeping baby cupped in a hand against a night sky. The title is “State of Should care” The right hand panel shows a baby being held by the skin on its back against a background of flames. The title is “State of Don’t Care”

In the year to March 539 #children - some younger than 12 months - were harmed in state care (the highest number in 5 yrs). Meanwhile the coalition govt introduces legislation to further shield itself from responsibility.

Panel 1: A blasted moor. Night. Two witches stand by a cauldron. One stirs. one adds ingredients and chants: "Eye of newt, toe of frog, wing of bat..." Panel 2 She continues: "Head of garlic, pinch of sumac, glug of walnut oil, leaf of kale, tablespoon of pomegranate molasses, cup of polenta, shake of smoked paprika..." Panel 3 The witches' pet raven says to their cat: "Things were a lot simpler around here before they got that Ottolenghi cookbook." p.s. I know that in Shakespeare it is ‘wool of bat’ but I thought ‘wing’ was better visually.

Siouxsie Wiles: Why I’m crowdfunding despite winning my legal battle 'Between the ERA and the Employment Court, my husband and I have spent over $632,000.'

Morning peeps! I’ve written a piece for @thespinoff.bsky.social on why I ended up taking legal action against my employer and a little bit about how it played out. The whole story needs a book to tell but this is a good start 😂 thespinoff.co.nz/society/01-1... thespinoff.co.nz/society/01-1...

Hey team - @siouxsiew.bsky.social's university spent > $1.5m defending a case that their lawyers largely conceded in court. This was a huge waste of public $$$, but despite Siouxsie's win, she remains out of pocket. Please support Siouxsie after she supported us: www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/852...

Cartoon. Title: “Economy” Image shows Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters holding out his phone at arms length, using X, and retweeting PM Luxon’s tweet. Winston is saying, “Two letters and an ellipsis” Down the right hand corner by the phone is the word “SLAP!”

PM Luxon: "I've just done a deal with Southeast Asian nations that will help grow our economy at home." And Winston was like: “…

Fesshole screenshot: I may have nearly knocked out my gynecologist by shooting a speculum at his head. It wasn't my fault. He made me laugh, my muscles contracted, and suddenly my twat was a cannon.

It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...
