Not the people returning to war time baking (no butter, no eggs) and calling it cost of living baking. WE'RE EATING LIKE WERE AT WAR.

Tuesday.

My wife, a teacher, said to me a few weeks ago: "If our own government can't understand what we need to do our jobs properly, do you think rich companies that are only looking for profit can?" 😅

But but but debating the worth of others is Act's entire platform!

Refuse to debate the worth of others. Fascism thrives on the concept of “us versus them”. It says that certain groups (immigrants, trans people, disabled people etc) are less than. It blames the world’s problems on the “lesser” group so people won’t fight for them. All of us have value.

Disappointed by the lack of Clown Brothels in this tale

Auckland CVs have gone down? In an economy that is a housing market with some accessories, ol' mate Luxo's done fucked up. This will hurt him more than any word salad. Well, it will hurt Nicola Willis, anyway.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Literally yes.

This isn't a good thing, Aotearoa has GOT to jettison its love affair with property as an investment vehicle. The only way you'll do that is a CGT and an inheritance tax It's not even as if the houses are any good because they're built to the minimum requirements possible for more $ #nzpol

Hey team, it's been a DEAD ASS WEEK in the shop so I'm doing a promo post...would you share/check out the goods? I'm Pepper, an NZ artist that draws nature/magic inspired apparel, bandanas, pins, stickers, etc. <3 Here's some of my designs: SHOP: pepperraccoon.com #NZbirds #birds #kikorangi

"decarbonised oil" is like saying "we don't actually kill people at our poison factory." They're talking about "decarbonising" the production and shipping of oil. A fallacy in itself, but the real point is that the core product will still be burned, heat our one and only atmosphere, and cook us.

Gotta love an 86-year-old woman with the heart of a poster

The CoC driving our economy off a cliff is the only help our emission stats will get from them.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Tariff collections are up sharply in the last 2 months. Congressional forecasters say tariffs could help reduce the federal debt, but they'll also lead to higher inflation and slower economic growth.

In happy, pretty news which you are welcome to share I have some fresh workshops coming up with Auckland Wintergardens. These are three hours long, all materials provided and no experience necessary. Come reconnect through art and nature jenniferduval-smith.com/new-events-1

Btw LA, there are people out on the streets trying to get you to sign a petition “for the minimum wage”. Do NOT sign. The service workers fought and won a higher minimum wage and this petition is to LOWER it. Tell them to fuck off and don’t let anybody else sign either

Queenstown Lakes District Council must fix issues with Shotover wastewater plant - court

So Mirriam Webster has announced that 'FRIDGE' is an official word in their dictionary now, and sited me as the concept's creator in the definition. Very cool, and weird at the same time. I got death threats over this, cool for it it to be recognized. www.merriam-webster.com/slang/fridge

Frederick Forsyth, a master of the geopolitical thriller, drew from his days as a reporter to write best sellers like “The Dogs of War.” He has died at 86.https://trib.al/tUrE3kk
