You're a racist piece of shit.
Oh man, I keep forgetting about their new album. Guess I am shoe gazing tonight.
"Hey nonny nonnying" I cant stop laughing.
Guess what... there are!!!
It's alright, David. I got your back.
It's called "Fair Use", you absolute goon.
My favorite Nintendo character is Luigi
I play games on easy. No shits given - I have a good time.
Council rates skyrocketed in 24/25 and 25/26 because the govt cancelled three waters. The govt then blamed councils for wasting money, when what they were doing was continuing to own, operate, maintain and upgrade the water assets the govt had cancelled the transfer of. This is surprisingly obvious.
It's alright, folks. Jessica is prepared to sacrifice brunch... and every single Palestinian and trans person.
No one defeats fascism by voting for the lesser evil and throwing whole communities under the bus. People like you are the reason fascism is here. You are playing right into the fascist playbook. You need to comes to grips with this.
Biscuits.
Oh look, a yank butting her head in where it doesn't belong, and is wrong. That tracks.
Please, investigative journalists. There's been a lot of attention on China's foreign interference, but now the US has fallen to an authoritarian fascist regime with egregious human rights abuses, can we please have some sunlight on what the hell they're doing here.
Meet Gary Chiles, parliament’s weed man
You're not particularly smart, are you? You dont throw communities under the bus to stop fascism. It's pretty simple, champ.
You really didn't think this post through, did you? "Gotta put all my vulnerable friends under the wheels of the bus before I can save them."
I just woke up and I have already found the stupidest post I am likely to see all day.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
If you want to help someone who is helping people in Gaza hard to do worse than helping a nurse ❤️
It's definitely a sad sign of the times that I was expecting some adults to scream and rant about the mask.
Americans should really stay out of Europe. Stick out so much, loud, annoying, rude, entitled - stay in America and go down with the ship. Also region lock your social media it's infecting us all. Okay thank you American comrades we won't forget you
Will spend the rest of my life considering how we were rushed into "going paperless" for the good of the environment only for the next generation of digital tools to become far worse for the environment.
I didn't misunderstand at all. The topic was 'voting for the lesser evil'. My point still stands.
No, but it is the road that leads to fascism. Every time a party is voted in because they aren't quite as evil as the other party - the needle moves right. Awfulness becomes normalised.
Voting for the lesser evil is how we end up with fascism. Every time a "lesser evil" is voted in, the needle moves further to the right. One just has to look at the US for what happens eventually with lesser evil voting.
This freak seems to think that anyone that replies to her is a Yank. She is a walking, talking stereotype of Blue MAGA, who also doesn't realise that there are other countries other than the US.
I'm not a Yank, you genocidal freak.
People like you are the problem. You have nonissues throwing people and whole communities under the bus. People like you are the reason fascism is flourishing.
I would say (and I know this isn't realistic) - outright ban conservative parties. Conservatism has only ever propped up big business, and neglected the people. Sure, they throw a small bone every now and then, but they destroy (gleefully), rather than build and support. Ban them. #nzpol
So, it's just like a normal pizza, but square and reversed? I'll have to try it.
and this has been one of my major contentions with NZ's media/pol class for the last decade we KNOW the rightwing & far-right are doing this, we know that they rely on good faith treatment AND that they rely on 'both sides' 'objective' media frameworks to amplify their message So why enable them?
I dont wanna look like an idiot, but not American - Is that tomato sauce on TOP of the cheese?
It's looking like in order to run a social media service, one has to be an absolute sociopath.
Bizarre, but also on point for how everything *is* right now.
Yep, same for me. They are clearly doing dodgy shit with Palestinian accounts.
House prices need to drop and wages increased. We need to stop only treating housing as an investment. They are homes, first and foremost. If you get into property for profit - I don't give a shit if you lose money.
This tweet should be the campaign of every Dem, and it would be if they weren’t bought and paid for.
If you are so concerned about free speech being limited, why then do you ban innocent Palestinian accounts? You are committing digital apartheid. Your "concern" regarding free speech is laughable.
#BREAKING: We are calling on the Prime Minister to show leadership by removing Brooke van Velden as Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety, following her recent comments that politicise the Employment Relations Authority and breach the Cabinet Manual. 1/6
Thing is - a lot of gen X *also* cannot afford to buy a home (looking at myself).
Ok, Holocaust denier.
It meets every single criteria of the UNs definition of genocide. Holocaust denier.
"Israel's dilemma" Yeah? 76 years of apartheid, the ongoing Nakba and now the genocide - is certainly Israel's "dilemma". You are a holocaust denier.
According to the Attorney General and Bill of Rights Act 1990, both the gang patch ban and electoral reform breach human rights. If we’re outraged at National for the electoral reform bill, we should be equally outraged at Labour for keeping the gang patch ban as both breach human rights #nzpol
Peeni Henare's position on the gang patch ban is the morally and pragmatically correct one, and it's frustrating to see Labour leadership chicken out on something they could be using as an opportunity to distinguish themselves from the coalition's lazy racism. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
Israel is committing a genocide, and you are defending it. We all know you have been bought out by AIPAC. Once this is all done, and the tribunals start - we have the receipts, you wont escape.
I am both so relieved and so sad that I don't own a record player.
Man, I can't wait to get our lot out of power. With the US as a fascist state now, and our useless mob clearly wanting the same... is a looooot.
He should be Labour leader.
Looking forward to it either just going around in circles or running aground.
New Zealand lost its AA+ rating under Key, and regained it under Ardern. If political journalists were willing to include that sort of context it would be much harder for Nicky No-boats to lecture the left on fiscal responsibility. #nzpol
I present to you the errrrrr... "superior race".
Like, dont they realise the clicks they would get if they actually held politicians feet to the flames? This is such easy shit.
Yet another example of the dire need for an overhaul on news media regulation in Aotearoa. To have a properly informed population, they need to actually be properly informed. No media should carry water for any political party or individual, regardless of the party. #nzpol
Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!
"Maybe we build a Dyson sphere around the solar system." That's not how Dyson spheres work, Sam.
We desperately need to have brand spanking new regulations for news media once the CoC are out of power. This cannot stand any longer. No more stenography; No more omission of actual facts; No more glazing any political party or indivuals. #nzpol
Also - a complete and utter overhaul of news media regulations. No more stenography.
None of this is true And it is very easily fixed Reverse all National Tax Cuts Introduce CGT and Land Taxes Scale back all Roads of National Significance to 2+1s Windfall Tax Supermarkets and Energy Companies within a millimetre of their lives www.nzherald.co.nz/business/eco...
One of many 0 ferries School lunches Fossil fuel $12bn on "defence" Homelessness Unemployment Stagflation Anti Māori agenda Anti worker agenda I could go on #nzpol
once you've decided to make yourself ok with an atrocity, the main task is finding an excuse to not give a shit, and once you've decided to not give a shit, you don't really give a shit what the excuse is; once you've decided not to perceive atrocity, you also cannot perceive an atrocious excuse
This change in society that started during the pandemic, and that has only grown out-sized since is absolutely galling. Wonder if the Free Press understands that people that are already ill can also starve if they dont eat? We all know they know this... Palestinians dont matter to them.

The US is a collapsed empire that has lost its global hegemony, and the vast majority of the population hasn't realized it yet. In response, capitalism is consuming itself and embracing fascism in a desperate attempt to perpetuate its own existence. We are dealing with the result of that.
Renowned author Sally Rooney has made headlines after penning an opinion article vowing support for the now outlawed group Palestine Action, and saying she will use her royalties from the BBC to fund the group.
Gotta love libs who are not actually doing anything to fight fascism other than *reads again*... Trying to punch down on the people who have been fighting fascism and the rise of fascism for decades. This is how fascism flourishes.
If leftists refuse to work with people like you, there is a reason. People like you aren't fighting fascism. Instead, you swinging at the people who have stood against the risk of fascism for decades. Go off, king. Let's see how that ratio will go by the end of day.
If Auckland's leaders truly believe they decide who's the government they can stop fuckin blaming "Wellington" for the government's actions.
Since posting their community guidelines update Bluesky has removed Elsam, Ahmad Johar and Jamal- all of whom had longstanding accounts here
Bluesky has deleted Jamal's account - because they are Bluesky. Please share, and if you can, give to his fundraiser.
Jamal has never done anything to anyone. The only thing he is guilty of is from being from Gaza. Bluesky is committing digital apartheid.
Hey 'The Press' - The economy didn't need fixing before National got in. How about actually saying that.. in the headline, even? Start doing responsible journalism. #nzpol
Can't believe I used to watch these guys as much as I used to. Cenk and Ana are grifting wankers.
NZ has now paid 120% of the full cost of 2 next generation, hybrid ferries for *checks notes* nothing at all. Those ferries were on track for 2025 & 2026 delivery. Extra points: our only rail enabled ferry is being retired on Monday & maintenance costs have doubled Should be sackable #nzpol
hi friends, webworm has successfully moved off substack. current members don't need to do a single thing... your sub has just carried over. i took care of it. if you're new, you can now sign up as a free or paid member and read my 1000 or so previous pieces here: www.webworm.co - please RT
I hope the South Korean ship builders who ended up with our millions spent it all building themselves a nice boat.⛴️ #NickyNoBoats #WhereAreTheBoatsWinston #OneTermGovernment #nzpol
You've been denying this the whole time, you absolute goon. Holy shit. You have a really hard time with reality, don't you?
I. Don't. Give. A. Shit. I am just amazed you dont understand the very well understood and studied pipeline from woo to fascism. It's absolutely stunning watching someone deny reality in real time. One sec, it is just 7:30am, but I'm getting some more popcorn.
That is still you. Like I mentioned- this pipeline is already very well studied and understood. That you dont know this is a *you* problem. That's pretty bloody stupid.
The crunchy to fascism pipeline is well known and established. How are you this stupid?
The crunchy to fascism pipeline is well understood and studied. I guess this chap didn't get the memo.
This thread is important, and tech journalists should be all over this. Bluesky is committing digital apartheid against Palestinians, removing their voice.
Chilling when the regime is talking about criminalising "supporting" "terrorism". Rimmer is clearly angling to use anti-terror law to suppress the opposition.
ACT accuses the Green Party and TPM "wanting to be friends with terrorists" for speaking up for Palestine
anyone else remember when a NZ politician sent a text to cancel a major procurement and cost the country $600 million? is there any other time in NZ history when an MP would've *got away with that*?
Byron has reached 34% of his target overnight which is wonderful. If you can help him cover his legal costs by shouting him the price of a coffee, that would be awesome.
This is absolutely GOOD TROUBLE.
Haven't looked at reviews, and haven't seen anyone talk about it yet, but I just wanna say... The New ALIEN show is fucking amazing. From the opening scene, I felt like it was flowing from the original movie. Give it a chance if you can, first two episodes are out.
Love investigating an issue for a client for hours over the course of days, tearing my hair out and cursing the universe. It was an extra semi-colon in the code that the compiler somehow didn't pick up. A single semi-colon.
Oh man, I get it. Stay sane!
Fantastic move, David. Also, is this another bsky account?
What is it going to take for people to wake up about the US? It doesn't matter the reason - DO NOT GO TO THE USA. It is now a fascist state. Not 'becoming fascist', it already is.
I thought this was a Junji Ito piece I hadn't seen before. It isn't, but it is still just as fantastic.
This is much like ACAB. All Farmers Are Bastards (AFAB) has a ring to it. #nzpol
THIS. If one doesn't want to be viewed as spineless, then doing the thing that means you have a spine would put a stop to the rumors that you dont have a spine. #nzpol
Only 2 months until I step down as Mayor, but hopefully into the role of Māori Ward Councillor for WCC to protect that amazing kaupapa we've worked so hard for. But I'll need your help getting elected. I need peeps for: 💚Phone calling bit.ly/45BNqOt 💚Hosting a sign bit.ly/3HwPFKH xx #nzpol
The fact they banned Chlöe Swarbrick for a week, tone policed her for speaking truth to power on behalf of victims of genocide, and tried to turn the proceedings into a debate about what she was wearing says a great deal more about how much they are afraid of her than any actions she took today.
Kia ora whanau! I've signed up to ride 739km next month as part of Blue September so any and all donations would be welcome. If you're wondering "Why 739km?" that's because on average that's the number of Kiwi men lost to prostate cancer each year. www.blueseptember.org.nz/fundraisers/...
In that case, I really am such a loser.
