Go look up who that guy was backed by and what his people did to the city of Lvov. Like, look it up NOW!

The fuckin fellas at the wedding, not all it's cracked up to be

The Israel institute are a pack of crybullies

Everything under heaven is in great chaos, the situation is excellent.

Tech billionaire Marc Andreessen is reportedly getting involved w/ DOGE. He’s also invested in the “network state” movement led by Balaji Srinivasan, which aims 2 build crypto-based countries w/in existing states via the creation of “parallel institutions” like X. Listen. 1/

Today, February 25, marks one year since 25 year old US airman Aaron Bushnell succumbed to his injuries after self-immolating outside of the Israeli Embassy to protest US support for Israel's atrocities in Gaza. Thinking of him & the loss of hope he felt in bringing about change otherwise. 💔

Revoke his citizenship and force the sale of his property. He's neither of good character nor doing anything for our economy.

uhhh i was rubbing budd dwyer's bald head for luck and a bullet went through my hand?

Some Wānaka views from today

Guys we need more agit prop

Thinking about getting back in the dating game because I’m tired of other people ruining my life, it’s time for me to ruin some lives

Wrong. Trump and Musk are exactly what America was designed to create and empower. The country was built and sustained on horrors; all you're repudiating is their tendency to make the horrors too loud and visible to ignore. You will never, ever fight them until stop seeing them as aberrations.

I just read last week's news: destiny's chode, send skeet

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

“The Bill’s author, Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson, said the Consumer Guarantees (Right to Repair) Amendment Bill amends the Consumer Guarantees Act and will require manufacturers to make repair parts and information available to consumers.” #nzpol

i will become a total shill for whichever politician decides to become the joe mccarthy of rooting out silicon valley ideology and influence

An important point to keep in mind.

Can we please have a celebrity boxing match where David Seymour fights Joseph Parker?

Got a fresh new ebike specific helmet that makes me feel like toad from mario because of how thick it is.

You don't get to be a billionaire and also be loved, or even liked, or even remotely in touch with being human. Every billionaire has made their decision, and makes it every day they keep hoarding wealth. Lonely, miserable fucks whose passing would be universally celebrated.

He's he in some kind of contest to be the most disingenuous cunt ever? #NZPol

Someone needs to completely audit auror, foodstuffs, and the police. This is vile harassment now. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/image-lea...

This is important — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Humanity has a choice. Fascism or resistance. Oligarch, tech bros and politicians are choosing fascism. We need to stand together, organise and resist.

New Zealanders don’t need to give up their housing dreams in order to get business moving. Instead, making homes cheaper to build will free up money for investment.

The benefits of this investment to people's health are clear to see: "Cycle lanes and walkways funded today will lead to 43,000 fewer sick days a year, due to the health benefits of increased active travel, easing pressure on the NHS and helping people live happier and healthier lives."

A big FU to David Seymour #nzpoll

Why is this not the norm? What does the bullshit narrative on the right take precedence over actual fact? And because don’t need preaching to, I’ve shut off replies. I absolutely fucking know why.

A haunted charlatan with cold black eyes dripping poison into the ear of a monarch is a tale as old as time. In 2025, however, we’ve replaced Rasputin’s menacing charisma with an effete, deadbeat Boer whose temperament is redolent of a middle school boy terrified to remove his shirt at a pool party.

#nzpol The problem is the guy in the lower right of the pic....

The boys (two wolves) are back in town (inside me)

The entire subscription/patronage model that journalism is trying (well, forced) to move towards is predicated on the idea that journalism is a public good. But I think the nature of that public good is becoming clearer in this moment. 1/n

I had the 3 door in green, greatest car I ever owned, it'd do 750km on 30L of gas. Suspension was absolutely cooked and the day the transmission gave up is still a sad memory for me. Best $700 I ever spent.

Lotta people came over here and started doing what I’m calling Libbin’ Out. Using the word leftist in scare quotes? You might be libbin’ out.
