Ben-Gvir stated himself that US ReTHUGlicans had... "expressed support for my very clear position on how to act in Gaza and that the food and aid depots should be bombed..." + "Ben-Gvir’s most recent comments have thus far eluded commentary in the US corporate media" ...making them 💯 complicit.

#NZpol Yep. For the 100th time, this guy has NEVER had anything to offer than slogans based on the same overused, failed RW "ideas". And like his UK, US RW compatriots etc f'n etc, tantrums ensue, goalposts get moved when real scrutiny on what's actually costing the public shows... it's them.

The infernal brain rot of whatever CONservatives are promoting seems to have no end in sight! It's just so openly brazen - whether this from our mates across the ditch or the judge arresting goon squads in the US - can't help feeling the RW think "This is our best chance, let's go ALL IN now!"

Puts beneficiaries on an immediate back foot, to then fight their way out of being suspect, and may also clash w/ FCA obligations... ⚠️ "the government should learn from the Post Office scandal in which a faulty computer system led to hundreds of people being falsely accused of fraud and error." ⚠️

#NZpol Yep, I can see why Tracey Martin quit NZF. Her comment on the 2020 election seems... relevant: "If we had got back into Parliament I’m not sure that the direction they were taking with decisions I could have maintained.” Good idea to get out before being tainted by Winston permanently 😬

Not your usual present, no indeed, but what's a fascist supporting eugenicist to do? "...donated by a former student, George Pitt-Rivers... A eugenicist, he was interned by the British government during the second world war due to his support for the fascist leader Oswald Mosley."

#NZpol Ah, just as well those new ferries are arriving next ye... Oh, end of 2029 you say? I swear we had a really good deal... what's that you say? It was basically on track until Willis put some of her famous "common sense" and "fiscal prudence" back into proceedings? I see. Lucky us 🙄 🤬

Her base probably do, considering Catholics are as reprehensible as anyone else RW Christian Nationalist sects hate, particularly the more extreme Evangelical WASP ones (the Pope for some is THE Beast (yep, the OG). You can see them rant about it on 3 channels in this country, let alone the US).

Oren Etzioni, fmr CEO of the Allen Institute for AI: “One has to wonder whether OpenAI is simply focused on chasing revenues with minimal regard for societal impact.” Well it just so happens that there's some really bad news on this front if you were hoping for the opposite...

Everything continues to be fine, just fiiiiine... “I would call it a grinding machine,” Petrova, who spoke with NBC News from the Louisiana facility, said... “We are in this machine, and it doesn’t care if you have a visa, a green card, or any particular story. ... It just keeps going.”

Dark Death, Evening Creature, Watwat Watwat and... Skin Thing. All words I will use instead of "bat" from now on. I mean... 'Oh look, is that a skin thing?!'. 'Yes, there's a lot of Dark Death in this area..."... "I see! Fascinating!" Who wouldn't use that?

#NZpol David is adamant there can be nothing other than the Supreme Individual. Everything he does is to try and cement a very compartmentalised and hyper-individualist society. He didn't start the whole thing, but he's our most problematic proponent of this consistent failure of an idea.

For the love of God, if I see one more ',grow your own food' hot take. Sure, for occasional fresh herbs or a few veggies. Nobody is growing to their entire caloric intake in an apartment or on a balcony.

The IDF murdered 15 medics & emergency workers in cold blood, buried their bodies in a mass grave, tried to destroy the evidence & then lied to cover up what they'd done. Israel: "a series of operational mistakes"

#NZpol "performance characterised by mistakes and a lack of political groundwork, not just during this campaign, but for this entire parliamentary term. In my opinion, well before." That all sounds far too familiar to certain leaders we have too, but in our case... one of them is already the PM 😣

Unspeakable evil. "Twenty-four hours before she was killed, it was announced that a documentary focusing on Hassouna’s life in Gaza since the Israeli offensive began would be debuted at a French independent film festival that runs parallel to Cannes." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

People are not mad enough at Israel for intentionally starving Palestinians. It seems surreal to me that the international community is allowing this to happen. There are warehouses full of food and medications that other nations have sent but Israel won't allow in. We are watching a war crime live.

I don't think Oprah should ever get to rub the stain off raising to such prominence this walking car crash (or, come to think of it, that other Trump-loving hack Dr Phil, who literally started out in the world of business with what was described as a "textbook example of a membership scam").

Curse of Private Equity US Private equity (PE) Sycamore Partners in $10bn (£7.8bn) takeover of the owner of Boots. Boots didn't recover from 2007 PE control. Usual problems - profiteering, price hikes, staff/wage cuts, low investment, asset-stripping, tax dodges. Another victim of greed?

I have long said that the ideological dogma at the political intersection of roads, cars/trucks and petroleum will drive NZ to economic collapse unless we diversify and plan for resilience. Roads being destroyed faster than we can repair them is not sustainable. theconversation.com/nzs-over-rel...

#NZpol Those involved in the Australian welfare system sought "advice" from Paula Bennett last time National was in govt (we already knew of course where her 'expertise' led). I wouldn't think Upston is averse to aping The Worst Way To Do Things now, as long as it met, uh, ideological "standards"?

#NZpol Attacking his own low standards? More likely Winston is going to focus on it in, oh, around a month or so? Winston will never take to being given orders by someone he's always seen as beneath him and ACT's ineptness across Govt is making HIM look worse too - "something" has "got to stop".
