I was going with implied casual drug use. Maybe the more up to date rage bait is... difference?
Oh no, not those guys. There is no helping them. They're just awful! Who do I mean? I think I mean, put them in front of more educated women so they seem reasonable and less niche.
I'm sure he is.
We know that The Greens are mostly highly educated women with actually quite a lot of parliamentary experience but people outside the bubble don't
I feel like a lot of people still think that The Greens are the Nándor Tánczos era Greens. IMHO it would do a lot of good to do introduction posts on their socials and say e.g. Hi I'm Chloe, I'm a lawyer. I have been in parliament for 10+ years and I'm Central Auckland's MP.
A post by its_r_o_r_y on Instagram. It is a followup post after encouraging her followers to register to vote in the UK local elections. Her election link was clicked 5,887 times. The text reads: Over 5000 of you have already registered. I am proud of you patriots. We know the lazy lunatics will not bother to register and likely don't even know there are elections! This is our time to strike.
It makes me so happy that encouraging people to vote actually works!

China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - 50% higher than the US or Europe.
With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices than most Western economies.
Hannah added: “I get offended when I hear the argument made that it is working class. Working-class people are fed up with gambling companies being able to wreak havoc in people’s lives.”

These gallery still can't understand why Christopher Luxon is so disliked. They just think he's unlucky to be in at a time when the electorate is grumpy and in other times he'd be super popular. They seem completely oblivious to his many, many faults.

On Dutch radio: what if the US blocked cloud services to Europe? The question should not only be whether America would block cloud services to Europe, but also whether Europe has the institutional capacity to respond if it did.
Is this the second Hipkins attack ad I've seen in the last couple of days? I think the right have decided that they need to undermine his credibility and tie him to issues their voters hate -- like losing money and autonomy during COVID. Also, ew gross -- bunch of pedos!

Zany Zack Polanskis green party are selling a future that nobody sane would choose
That future: Lower bills. Tax billionaires. End Rip off Britain.
Who's in?
Today is Yom Hashoah, the day of holocaust rememberence in Israel. It is a day to remember all those murdered by the Nazis, but also a day to remember the many civilians across Europe who risked their own lives to save Jewish friends, neighbours and strangers. In Judaism, we say of the dead 'zichron l'bracha', may their memory be a blessing.
We call on Israelis to reflect on this today, and to take the memories of their ancestors killed in the Holocaust as motivation to speak up and take action against the genocide being committed by their friends and neighbours today. The only way to truly honour the memory of those cruelly taken from us is to ensure it does not happen to anyone else. Never again means never again for anyone.
Wrote this today for Dayenu: New Zealand Jews Against Occupation. You cannot commemorate the victims of a genocide while perpretrating one yourself. The killing must end. The occupation must end.
Never again means never again for anyone.
