My dogs do that too!

I really really hate the new look iOS. It’s like cheesy late nineties MS WordArt aesthetic and is an awful user experience.

Why isn’t there any way to turn it off!? I know this is a super minor issue in the context of the world, but better consumer testing was needed before releasing it.

The admission that the police are deliberately siphoning off correspondence to the PM and the Minister of Police from members of the public to make sure it is never seen sure strikes at the heart of a democracy. Corruption at the top level. Heads must roll.

Wow! It’s pouring here in the Waikato! 😭

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I just signed this; let’s get this one going!

Yeah my sense of smell has never been the same. And although it recovers a bit after each bout, I feel it’s got worse overall with every time I’ve had Covid (3-4 times now - one time never had a positive test).

this should surprise absolutely no one at all.
But will be said regardless. At volume.

Unbelievable!

Oh true! Hadn’t put those two things together in my mind 😓

WTF

Umm, Te Wai Pounamu, maybe just stay home on Thursday??! 😬😬😬
I can’t recall seeing such a grim forecast chart; look at the pressure gradient inland from Kaikōura! 😱

Miriam Webster’s daily crossword “The Missing Letter” hilariously mixed up the spelling in one of their clues and answers today. 😂 It made me doubt myself, so I had to go google it. I was right and they were wrong!

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Here’s my response to the NZ government shakeup of science funding today, on top of their reductions in bluesky funding and lack of accountability for climate issues. 🧪
We need urgent action on what the SSAG report describes as a fragile and chronically underfunded research system.

My life has been improved considerably since I started reading Google AI summaries as if they were being spoken by Philomena Cunk.

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza.

There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

Watch: Haka breaks out after Te Pāti Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech, Parliament suspended Speaker Gerry Brownlee intends to investigate whether anyone knew the haka would take place after Te Pāti Māori MP Oriini Kaipara's maiden speech.

We live in a Māori nation. Our Parliament should reflect that more. The haka from the public gallery is an appropriate response to a maiden speech. Suspended Parliament only reminds Māori that they are not welcome to be authentically themselves there. #nzpol
