Should be the end of his political career. It won’t be though.
Not sure I believe these store owners. Feels a bit like they’re just putting the boot in on a perceived enemy.
“Power imbalance”, lmao. She’s in your store, on your property, you can just trespass her if you want. What a joke.
Yeah this was highlighted at the Ōtautahi rally.
The US military alone emits more CO2 than most countries. War and genocide are bad for the climate, as well as for humanity.
Will Appleby from SAFE pointed out that live animal exports are not only cruel, but they contribute to global carbon emissions.
Rolling back oil and gas bans is going to increase emissions, and those sources won’t even be online for another 10 years. The fast-track proposal is about silencing the majority that don’t want more oil and gas exploration.
All of these issues intersect in some way, and all of them need to be addressed.
I thought the messaging was pretty clear to be honest.
Seems like an overtly political - not religious - action. Hopefully they once again lose their tax-exempt status.
Prosecute this as the hate crime that it is.
Poor old Mr Luxon can’t handle living in a house that is at about the same standard as the thousands of slumlord rentals on the market. What a surprise. Can we expect his government to improve rental conditions, or is everyone else also expected to go live in their mortgage-free apartment instead?
What an absolute legend. Give him a medal.
Got a gull stuck in the decorative grill on the front of our office once. Spent the whole morning shrieking, seemed like he was stuck. Called the council, SPCA, building owner, nobody wanted to help.
Then after a few hours the bastard quite calmly hopped up and flew out.
That gull was a dick. We named him Greg.
Better to ask forgiveness rather than permission.
Edit: how did I get that backwards?
Nitrates in drinking water are linked to cancer and birth defects. In high-enough concentrations it can trigger blue-baby syndrome, which can straight-up kill babies.
Got an email advertising cyber monday sales on firewood. Yup, logs of wood. For cyber monday.
100%. Unless the toilet has a dedicated ass-wiping professional I’m not paying to use it.
“Prior to this attack, the man arrested had been receiving support of the mental health services,” Patel added.
Sounds like a lone-wolf with some complex stuff going on. Still horrible.
Summer interns starting today, why do I do this to myself?
Update: this year’s crop is great! I am so tired.
Education is really important. But you can lift people out of poverty just by straight-up giving them money too. A properly-funded welfare system (or a UBI) would go a long way to truly ending poverty. Childhood poverty is such a strong predictor for anti-social behaviours like gang membership, crime, unemployment, that it blows my mind we don’t just funnel money to people to break them out of the inter-generational poverty loop.
Had a persistent headache all of yesterday, took the afternoon off. This morning I realised I hadn’t had any coffee yesterday. I truly am an addict.

Found this wee dude chilling on my daughter’s face after she had some play time in the sandpit.
Yarp.
