Along the way the GOP switched from “keep government out of our lives,” to “use government to tell everyone how to live their lives.”

It occurs to me the "S" in the Tesla sign is ripe for modification. But don't go and do that.

Simpson is like, Discourage property investment, grow our talent & skills, there is no future in selling bits of land to each other, capital gains tax is fine with me, my skills & networks are more valuable than my money. Stanford is like, get old rich billionaires over here & sell them a house.

Here's the link btw. Click it, click it so much every metrics leaderboard at NZME rings like a bell. I want CEO Michael Boggs to call an all-hands (I guess that's like six guys now) on Sunday morning demanding immediate coverage of every turd in the country. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/footage-o...

A great distillation of the issue!

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

In a new book, the CEO of Palantir argues for the military dominance of the nation-state.

This would pay the salary of every fired NPS employee for probably 10 years.

Three little planes practising take off & landings on the airstrip across the road, what a noisy way to start a Sunday.

Did you know that February 22nd is #CatDay in Japan? The number "2" in Japanese sounds like "nyan," which is similar to "meow." So it's a purrfect day to celebrate cats! Share your favorite cat photos and stories below!" #photography

It always amazes me people are shocked they get covid after a gathering. It is AIRBORNE. in the air. You breathe. Like cigarette smoke.

🤔 Maybe Aotearoa NZ needs this too

Not to cast shade on Laughing Boy, but it received the 1930 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction because the judges feared backlash from the American Legion if they had awarded the prize to Mary Lee for It's a Great War! neglectedbooks.com?p=8555

It's $80-ish each way, too. For the same dates, the cheapest flight was twice as much. On Spirit.

There’s some mad thinking going on among UK conservative figures right now. They’re cherry-picking the parts of the Trump agenda that they really, really like - the racism, the misogyny, the anti-trans stuff, the breaking the state so it can’t operate and calling it a return to democracy. 1/2

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

We need to have an international holiday every year where the richest person in the world is ritually thrown into a volcano. Good, healthy disincentivizer.

Reminds me of the 1990s when a Nat Govt Minister (name??) claimed our hospitals were full of victims of cannabis abuse. When journalists checked it became clear (to anyone who wasn't already aware) that our hospitals are actually full of victims of alcohol abuse.🙄 #SeymoursReckonsAreAllLies #nzpol

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

There have been more news articles about Golriz's photo being leaked (which should not exist) than articles on the deep relationship between David Seymour and his sex offender President pal he defended.

This is like that time Jacinda passed a bottle opener to Javed in the Kuro Lounge and he tweeted, went viral and then Judith Collins and Simeon Brown both tweeted photos of themselves with bottle openers *WHOOSH*

We've learned today that Phantasm franchise hero Reggie Bannister has entered hospice care. It's time to rally and show Reggie how much he means to us fans. Here's how to send well wishes and cards of support his way:
