Amazing. Respect the lede.

WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE BOTH SIDES HERE

Schadenfeed - we have the word of the year right here!

Holy shit! I did not have Trump telling the world that he fired Elon Musk on my bingo card. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

OMG!

Trump and Elon broke up. I can’t believe Biden would do that to us.

BREAKING: Bill Clinton just said the courts might not hold as Trump tries to become a king. This is a former president telling you the system is this close to collapse. If you’re still playing politics, you’re not ready for what’s coming.

Ah! I love the sweet smell of schadenfreude... www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Bastards! www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

@domesticanimal.bsky.social sums up Seymour's ridiculousness.

Thank goodness we have the Bagshaws.

It took me a while, but I can now see a purpose in speaking to the discussion of my departure from Yale for the University of Toronto. Here I address four public framings of last year’s move that arose in recent weeks, which tell us something of our present moment snyder.substack.com/p/last-years...

The Russian invasion of Ukraine will be longer and bloodier because this US administration refuses to react to aggression. But Americans (and all others) can make sure the war and its crimes are chronicled. www.iwm.at/documenting-...

“Ukraine is confident in its ability to wage this war, even if it would still prefer that outside support make the costs for them less human…it listens to its own counsel more & more as it finds itself beyond the edge of most Western military thinking.” Brilliant. www.greatpower.us/p/operationa...

“What the Ukrainians provided on the weekend was a lesson that has 2 sides. They showed what can be done when politicians take risk and free up their people to exercise creativity. Ukraine also showed what happens to those whose learning and adaptation culture is inadequate.” archive.is/wAOnH

Maxar collected images of before / after damage to Russian aircraft as a result of Operation Spiderweb. This is not a comprehensive view of the damage. Cloud cover obscured several of the other Russian airbases that were reportedly also struck by drones. 📷 @Maxar

Luxon going on the defensive and worrying about himself and his reputation. Did he mention the victims yet or is he more worried about himself Luxon, the top priority are the victims, not you. #nzpol

Uh oh! Sexbots about. Blockity block.

Another week of data, another nail in the coffin of the 'turn around is here' hopium. Jobs are dropping purposefully below 2023 levels now. (1/2)

Labour's Duncan Webb calls a three week suspension incompatible with the fundamental nature of our democracy, infringing the rights of voters.

Bizarre! Nicole McKee in favour of loosening restrictions on real semi-automatic rifles but wants tighter restrictions on Te Pati Māori pointing finger guns🙄

The Legislative Design and Advisory Committee has "misgivings about the capacity of this bill to offer improvement” and "the risk of significant unintended consequences” newsroom.co.nz/2025/06/04/p... Perhaps you should make a submission against the Regulatory Standards Bill as well #nzpol

More reasons (and some of the same) to submit against the RSB #nzpol #kikorangi

Hey Seymour, found the source of fake AI bollox! #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/17/a...

This is a very good interview. Highly recommended. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

Happening tonight, in my ‘hood where people walk & bike in record numbers: the forcible and controversial raising of speed limits from 30kmh up to 50kmh, on quiet side streets, around schools and a retirement village. The symbolism is too much. Under cover of darkness; written in blood; etc #nzpol

NZ PM Chris Luxon said today in Parliament that he hasn't even bothered to read the letter he received from 26 leading climate scientists. These scientists are calling on Luxon to take action on methane emissions, rather than using dodgy accounting to pretend they don't exist. #nzpol #climate

#NZpol Thought I'd catch this just earlier today... So, couple of things: - He wanted some smooth sound bites, for ACT's SM. Got denied 😂 - He trips himself up, quite a few times 🤡 Summary? Lots of this is no better than the amateur hour BS "Pebbles Rebels" I'd see in the old Quad at Vic. JFC.

And, now the cameras are down on Parliament TV Must be those bots. #NZPol

Seymour is LYING! We can't submit via a bot as the Parliamentary submission process is designed to stop them: "Google reCAPTCHA is used on the website to help secure the site against cyber attacks that could flood the submissions system with computer generated submissions and cause it to crash."
