(Not) great to open the NYT app this morning to see a 14 min opinion piece on the front page blaming ‘a radicalized gay rights movement’ (read: uniting and activating to protect trans rights) ‘losing its way’ written by an (white, cis, male) early advocate for gay marriage.

I’ve got a pocket got a pocket full of GLITTER

Any time anyone tells you the firearms registry is a waste of time and money, you can point them to this article

@withaniplease.bsky.social it’s happened!

oh my god

I think, zero tolerance, you should get suspended from practice if you are responsible for fake citations that end up in pleadings or submissions. You've breached the two most fundamental duties a lawyer has - to offer your client your judgement & not to mislead the court.

$10.95 for a 500g block of butter ON SPECIAL is a fucking joke.

That one of the most powerful people in the country, the deputy Prime Minister, is calling for a man who heckled him to lose his livelihood should be setting off more alarm bells than it is

Oh look, another cis lesbian assaulted for using the women’s bathroom. I’d like to send a gigantic fuck you to every lesbian TERF who helped create this situation www.outsports.com/2025/5/21/24...

New Zealanders across the political spectrum want increased spending on public services, poll finds. This government is deeply out of touch on valuing our public services. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The hui to Protect Pay Equity is TOMORROW! Join us at Parliament from 1-2pm to fight back for working women. Bring your workmates, your whānau, your signs and your noise makers - we'll see you there.

So let me get this straight, under the Greens' alternative Budget I would have to pay a little bit more tax... and every child in my neighbourhood could go to kindy for free? *offstage muttering* AND free dental! 😲 Will no one stop these Marxist monsters??

So it's not okay to call RW politicians acting like utter cunts "cunts", but it is okay to call a well thought-out and equitable budget manifesto "Marxist" despite not being Marxist?

Denying working women equitable wages is, in fact, a very cunty thing to do. The pay equity amendment legislation looks like, sounds like, and reads like a very anti-women, anti-feminist bill. It's very cunty and so are its architects and supporters. #NZpol #CuntGate #PayEquity

Amused at Winston putting his head in his hands as Van Velden said "cunt" in the House today. Mostly because if that had been an opposition politician he'd have been on his feet screaming about the decorum and sanctity of Parliament and all sorts. Sorry mate, that's your team dropping the C bomb.

Wellington Museum is full of some of the most off the chain exhibits imaginable. (I sent this photo to my dad who in the 80s wore both walk shorts, AND worked for DSIR.) 🤣

JuCO: "It cannot be right to have civil engineers and librarians on the same level" JuCo is right: civil engineers only need an honours degree; librarians require higher qualifications. So the engineers should be paid less.

Welly folks that I know IRL- I’m in town tomorrow to Monday, drop me a pm if you’d like to catch up.

A few Palestinian YouTube channels have stopped because they were killed. These were kids. They sang songs & loved birds, and showed us the ocean. I'll never forget Medo, a young man growing a garden in the midst of a genocide. Israel killed him; he showed the world that Palestinians are human.

Remember when Claire Curran was basically hounded out of Parliament for not disclosing a lunch with a tech "entrepreneur" and using a gmail account? #nzpol

Excuse me, but what the actual fuck? HansAreWeTheBaddies.gif

It's the yearly reminder that having a National day of remembrance in a country that refuses to adequately teach history is schools leads to thousands of people venerating dead soldiers for made up reasons. No ANZAC died for our freedom of speech. Gallipoli did not "make our nation come of age"
