“Lifting 2.4 million people off food stamps” is an odd way to talk about lifting food stamps off 2.4 million people.

Another beautiful summer’s morning in New Zealand! Fresh coffee, the sound of cicadas, and threats from the President of the United States of “powerful” and “obnoxious” tariffs.

Is my life better because corporations can predict what I’m going to want and provide it to me before I know it myself?

Um… Hard No! Turns out the choosing and anticipation were the most human parts of the process.

I can see why the Supreme Court is taking its time to issue its tariff ruling. The fate of a nation depends on it.

And that’s just Iran.

“RFK Jr is right about some things”.

Yeah, or to put it another way: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!

Just to simplify the task for the US Government: you can safely assume that EVERY visitor from overseas has said or written SOMETHING disparaging about Donald Trump at some point in the last five years, so it may be simpler just to close your border.

Auckland Chamber of Commerce boss Simon Bridges is complaining that “international businesspeople see New Zealanders as ‘life stylers’ more interested in their work-life balance than in growing the economy” and I for one plead GUILTY AS CHARGED!

In no other modern democratic country would this be possible. Only a perfect storm of ignorance and stupidity in the United States could have accomplished this. 😳👇

I'm seeing reports that Nigel Farage was a racist bully at school and everyone's shocked. Hang on, what?

“We can’t tax billionaires because they’ll take their money elsewhere” isn’t an argument against taxing billionaires, it’s an argument in favour of international co-operation.

The American conception of “freedom” overlooks the fact that if you’re dead from a gunshot wound or an infectious disease you have no freedom whatsoever and your pursuit of happiness is in even worse shape.

Jesus Christ, how Bad is this Bunny? They're sending in ICE?? to police the half time entertainment at a sports event??!?

Grateful to live in a country where we're famous for the ratio of sheep to people, rather than the ratio of guns to people.

RFK Jr is in danger of getting his long sought after controlled trials for vaccines!

West Coast states are forming their own alternative to the CDC to ensure best practice public health. Meanwhile Florida is providing the "control arm" by actively discouraging its citizens from getting vaccines!

Retract RFK Jr!

You might be being generous to him? Bearing in mind the long-term effects of discouraging vaccination, cutting funding for research, and killing off international vaccination initiatives.

Anyone willing to hazard a guess as to how many people have died/are dying/will die because of the policies of RFK Jr?

The reason parliamentary democracies don’t have the type of problem the United States has right now is that a Prime Minister serves under permanent threat of removal from office.

Night of the Long Syringes.

At least during the Dark Ages they didn’t know better. What’s our excuse? 🤔

RFK Jr: “I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges...you see tell it from their faces, from their body movements, and from their lack of social connection.”

Dude, THEY JUST GOT OFF A LONG HAUL FLIGHT!

I’d send you a care package America, but the New Zealand Post Office won’t carry it because they can’t work out the tariffs.

#TaylorSwift is engaged? Not the Breaking News from America I was hoping to wake up to, but I’ll take it!

Major media once thought a Trump dictatorship was impossible, so they didn't warn the public about it.
Major media now see the dictatorship arriving, so they're afraid to warn the public about it.

Wes Streeting criticises ‘shortsighted’ drug firms for rejecting pricing offer Exclusive: Health secretary says he will not let patients be ‘ripped off’ by pharmaceutical companies amid standoff

This is an industry that isn’t used to hearing the word “NO”. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

When we get infrastructure right we create the conditions for a city where young people can afford their first home, families don't have to choose between rent and groceries, and businesses can attract talent because people can actually afford to live here 🏗️🧱🪛

If you want to understand the problem of modernity, ask yourself this:

HOW MANY SELFIE-STICKS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED AND HOW MANY NOW REST IN A LANDFILL???

NZ Post suspends deliveries to the US as Trump's tariffs loom It has temporarily suspended most services to the US and is allowing only letters and documents to be sent.
