This is horrific by meta, what the hell. Hiding information about cyclones from those in the path is beyond messed up. Related @faineg.bsky.social has a set of feeds for natural disaster related posts on bluesky. Here's the hurricane one: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

This week's column asks a question that should be in everyone's minds, as Trump reshapes the world's alliances: How, given that our defence and security capacities are completely infiltrated by the US state, do we defend ourselves if the US becomes our opponent? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Actually, Canada would probably be better off out of this automatic intelligence-sharing arrangement, which involves mass spying on each others' citizens. As would we. Not least because its dominant member is now playing for the other side. See it as an opportunity, not a threat.

As someone who has been threatened by cookers with being detained by whatever means necessary and tried for crimes against humanity for doing and explaining the validity of hundred year old maths, I am not looking forward to what this (which the retail association doesn't want either) will embolden

In the good old days the journo would have joined the dots between this and the local Ham West MP's recent boast about drastically cutting the numbers of people in emergency housing and gone to the minister for comment ffs. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I understand a criminal complaint about Frank's letter has been made to the Wellington Police. Because he might be unlawfully intimidating people from going about their lawful work, which might be a crime under section 21 (2) of the Summary Offences Act. Interesting.

We're at the point where serious questions actually need to be asked as to which extremist groups this government - whether National, or it's partners in ACT and NZF - is in contact with. Because too much of the policy being announced and implemented is significantly further right than expected.

I’ve lost multiple young male friends in the last few years. These were guys I had known for decades. They started going down the far right rabbit hole and before too long were calling me “Missy”, telling me I need to have children, that I’m cute but don’t understand the world etc. It’s bad folks

Musk is a sensitive little orchid and I wish more people would figure out that it’d be really easy to push him over the edge simply by being meaner to him.

The more I think about it, the more disgusted I am to know that nazism was just rotting under the floorboards, waiting to try again the very moment the last veterans of WW2 started shoveling off this mortal coil.

Relevant to my previous skeet… I get that people want COVID to be a thing of the past, but it’s not and everyday is impacting on the lives of our most vulnerable while disabling other. Why we can’t just accept that and make all this a priority to protect each other I will never understand.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Funny how police will organize for this protest, and not for Rainbow Storytimes which have been under threat for over a year now. Hypocrites. #nzpol #rainbowstorytime #destinychurchisacult #nzpoliceareweak www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/protest-a...

I ain't mad that Biden loves his fuckup son and is aware the incoming admin will literally execute him if they can just because they want to. I AM mad that he hasn't demonstrated the same worry for anyone else. Come on, man, destroy debt records. Commute sentences. Go wild.

The ACT Party spent $7,252 on Facebook ads alone promoting its Treaty Principles Bill just in the last week. It's going hard promoting to farmers and mechanics, scaring people into thinking Te Tiriti is going to disadvantage them and even take their healthcare away.

I always like the ‘if we had no cops who would stop crime huh?’ Babe that supermarket chain stole $25 million from its workers as part of its business model where were your precious crime stopping cops then.
