Sure is. Same people behind the scenes too.
Retired psychiatrist. Political, well to the left. Can be rude. Fabric artist, sailor and occasional gardener. Long covid. Amerikkka and Russia are fascist plutocracies. 🇸🇩 🇺🇦 Toitū te Tiriti. E waka eke noa.

That is not a coincidence
NZ imports of palm kernel are at their highest level in ten years - further undermining @Fonterra’s claim to “grassfed” dairy products👇 A double-whammy for the climate as it drives rainforest destruction and dairy intensification. #TooManyCows www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...
How come RW lies are so effective? 🤯
One can hardly blame them in a way, but you are so right. Bugger off, we need the houses ourselves.
Tiptoe Through the Kippax With yer razor And yer sawn off shotgun Tiptoe Through the Kippax With meeeee Not a City fan!
Perfect! All the best people!! Professional liars!!!
The government does know what it is doing: it is doing what Peter Thiel and Atlas are telling it to do. They're doing an excellent job of preparing Aotearoa for sale. They're just lying about it. IMO we need to stop saying they don't know what they're doing, because they know perfectly well.
D'accord!
That wanker Jones probably doesn't believe in them. He certainly won't care 🤬
John Key is a lying insider-trading greedy bastard who loves Peter Thiel. Of course he'd have voted for Trump and Bolsonaro. Disgusting little hair-fondling creep.
Knowing it's their deliberate policy makes it heart-breakingly worse. The CoC are puppets of the current US regime.
#nzpol Monthly jobs rose this month – great! Except we have 36,734 fewer jobs than at the election. There are 17,573 fewer jobs than this time last year. Total wages have fallen 4% in real terms. If the current economic plan is working – its not working for working people. A 🧵
Totally agree. The 2024 election was vulnerable to skilled hackers because some of the 2020 election court cases made software details public while some of the machines had modems ffs. Does anyone believe that Trump and his pet billionaires would NOT have cheated?
She's just forcing her religious views on less fortunate women, and she lied about it during her confirmation hearings. SCOTUS is now a lawless unconstitutional gang of far right bullies.
This man was convicted of violating a protection order in 2001, but the Court says the current offence was "isolated". Crap. He's clearly a coercive controller, with violence, and has been doing this shit for 30 years. Also, Judge Mark says he mustn't suffer any more consequences. WTF!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
"The Court of Appeal found that the offending was isolated and in the context of a toxic relationship." BUT in 2001 he was convicted of violating a protection order. So his offending was NOT isolated and I'd bet that he's been creating toxic relationships for 30 years. Coercive control IS toxic.
"thereby ameliorating the consequences he has experienced to date,” Justice Mark Woolford said. Because it's just so important for abusive men not to suffer consequences 🤬🤬🤬
Whine whine whine. Why are these ninnies so whiny?
We call them the 501s.
Yes, a good principle.
Yikes! We're so sorry. But please dont send him home 🤯
😂
We're not meting out karma, it's just happening. No-one's killing him, he's just old and sick, and we're watching.
The tradition is to draw the arrival in front of St Peter. How will cartoonists manage this one when it happens?
think of it as karma
😂🤩
Disappointing
Thanks for reminding me, I need to stock up. Verve Cliquot for the very finest occasions.
Meta sucks
😆
One of *those*
"Gender doesn't cause them" - well no, not all by itself, but are there any mass shootings by women?
🤬
Yes, the techbros are laughing all the way to the bank. Vile bastards.
As a retired doctor with long covid I'm appalled that these tests are inflicted on people. I have POTS but it's episodic. The PEM is much more predictable. But either way, the symptoms are directly experienced by me and I'd be properly angry if I weren't believed and made to have "tests".
Maddening. Get well soon 🤞🏼
He didn't mean a word of it. Thought it was useful at the time.
Ugh
absolutely disgusting - the legislation AND the so-called doctor. What an arsehole.
Putin is dogshit
🤬🤯😭 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💛💙💛💙💛❤️🩹
Gotta keep the donors happy
Yes. I suppose he's too busy running the USA into the ground.
He still owns 193 hectares of Wānaka shoreline, sadly. Which he's just neglecting.
I thought it was just the design they turned down and that he already owned the land. Must check.
Not far from Peter Thiel's bolthole, I note.
Good on him!
How ignorant and irresponsible can you be? Stop trying to get people to believe that AI is a person, ffs. Things are bad enough already.
Those were the days! (well, sort of)
especially when you have no money
At least heated tobacco is cheaper and alcohol is more accessible now. Laser focussed.
Had a blackberry years ago. It was rather good now I think about it. Have a feeling I took it to be recycled.
I’ve got them both turned off now too. Freedom!
and perhaps pigs can fly
I suffer because of it. If anyone knows how to turn it off, please let me know.
My first thought was very similar. It’s a kind of delusion, in fact.
I'm going to give this a boost, because I don't want my biometrics linked with my New World club card.
Insulting as well as illegal. SMH.
I’m an AI skeptic, but Wiki sets it all out quite well.
He is - brief mention
True. I’m quoting Malcom Gladwell from “i hate the Ivy League”. Well worth reading.
Do some background reading first. AI steals all its data from creators and creatives who haven’t given permission; there’s the GIGO problem (garbage in garbage out) and in someways worst of all, the huge amounts of land, electricity and water for cooling needed. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artific...
It’s big business. The teaching and research is an unfortunate necessity but they’re minimising it as much as possible. Meanwhile, rich kids (increasingly the only ones able to get there) are way more concerned with their room decor, personal bathroom and showering facilities, fancy food and the gym
Thanks
I’d ignore Frank Frizelle on this. He’s a surgeon, not an epidemiologist. God knows why they asked him.
Did you use AI?
It’s all just part of Project 2025, or in our case, 2023. We’ll have no experts round here thanks, nor facts, nor compassion, nor common sense. Fuck off bottomfeeders, dropkicks, women, children and anyone in need. Peter Thiel -> John Key -> deodorant salesman.
Absolutely bound to be. Probably hundreds, going by the data on other serial sexual predators.
Labour should - but they’re getting more and more like the Dems 🙈🙉🙊
National have been awfully quiet about "brain drain" since the election.
And the world looks on…
😈
Yup
Let’s not sugarcoat it: he’s a fucking liar.
Sure does. The Beehive is an outpost of the White House.
“Luxon said the government hasn't yet expressed concern to its Washington counterparts and is confident the situation will soon be resolved.” Of course not. That would involve giving a shit about small businesses, and then *gasp* actually DOING SOMETHING. Fat chance.
It’s also very difficult to treat and can be made worse by the wrong interventions.
As usual, we are being lied to by the CoC
Ooooh Epsom! ☠️
One of my stepsons is already being impacted because he designs, makes and exports race car parts to the US. The applicable tariff will completely eliminate his profit.
“We don't want our whole economic growth be driven by speculative house price inflation” 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 Funny how they’ve done everything possible to make it happen, then.
They do. They’re included in my category of not very bright. Bright people question.
I’d go further and suggest that 100% of respondents are ignorant and/or racist.
Surely they are not very bright?
Peter Thiel -> John Key -> Luxon Atlas -> Seeless Russian troll farms -> cookers -> Peters
Because stupidity, at bottom.
Nobody should be buying anything from Israel, but especially killer drones ffs. How disgusting can we be?!
I’m going for Number 1. The wealthy and sorted are mostly greedy, selfish and entitled. How dare they be made to pay a wealth tax!
Thanks a million, saved to my List 🤩😎
Yes 😡😖
That’s gorgeous. As a fellow knitter, I’m failing to figure out how you did it. Do tell!
This government is plain evil. They hate us. They enjoy hurting us. It’s Project 2025 in Aotearoa, inflicted by the same people tearing the US apart.
😂
Know how you feel 😵
"Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshiping." - Hubert Reeves.
With a great deal of luck!
That’s very sad. Bless you for standing up for him - and Him.
This is excellent news
