Nicola Willis isn’t hiding her resting “mean girl” attitude at the moment.

This is the most idiotic thing about the AI sphere; the public are constantly demonstrating that it is not wanted, that the people who push it are not respected, and rather than listening the sycophants are like "You're WRONG, you DO want it, and to prove it I'm going to block you!"

Spain approves plan to give around 500,000 undocumented migrants legal status Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said migrants helped "build the rich, open and diverse Spain that we are and to which we aspire".

"In a letter to Spaniards posted on social media, Sánchez said the mass legalisation sought "to acknowledge the reality of nearly half a million people who already form part of our everyday lives"."

This will trigger more insurance and mortgage withdraw and subsequently more manage retreat whether the climate denialists in NACT1 like it or not

For fucking once the media mentions climate change because it's an insurance company talking and they don't paper over the cracks

If only we had a gov making things better rather than taking us backwards #nzpol

Why would voters ever make a promise to a party. Why would that ever be the balance of power in anything but a cult.

Looks like the “targeted, temporary relief” is doing fuck all. Who would have thought?

Israel says it has set up a ‘yellow line’ to demarcate and area it is occupying in southern Lebanon, mirroring a barrier it used in Gaza.

the people most against policies that help them are always the most exhausting to explain it to

Insurance has been on the climate change train for a while now! Very costly for them so they'd like it addressed. 😅

'A storm every eight days' - country's biggest insurer calls for systemic response An increasing number of severe weather events were now happening in spring and summer, IAG says.

huh... Insurance companies are woke now apparently

Petitions are addressed to the House of Representatives and ask that the House do something about a policy or law, or put right a local or private concern.

A system that consistently protects perpetrators and undermines survivors is a biased, corrupt system.
How many headlines do we see where a judge is protecting a perpetrator’s good name, their career? How many actions are framed as a judgement error?
Help change an unacceptable status quo👇

Six meetings, 34 agenda items missed: The short, complicated term of KiwiRail's Scott O'Donnell Donnell would have been paid tens of thousands, but missed large chunks of the meetings.

Winston Peters appointed NZ First donor Scott O'Donnell to KiwiRail Board. He left after eight months, thousands in pocket, with little Board work done.

He couldn't attend some meetings with his conflicts of interest. Looks like cronyism costs taxpayer again.

This photograph showcases a modern formal kimono ensemble that features a striking feline motif as its primary decorative element. The garment is split vertically into contrasting cream and charcoal sections, providing a sophisticated backdrop for the large-scale depiction of two cats—one white and one golden—positioned near the hem. The composition is anchored by a complex, multi-layered obi in shades of orange, purple, and gold, which introduces a rhythmic horizontal texture that balances the verticality of the feline figures.

Kimono with cat patterns. Japan.

The story above this one in the paper was "Food parcels going uncollected as families feel impact of rising fuel costs"

The guys that said they were laser focused on the cost of living have spent all their time power attacking Māori instead of doing anything that actually helps people.

Yeah, Rongotai being solidly green isn't so much progress as it is pretty normal, but hopefully it indicates good turnout this time and there's progress in other areas too. 😊

Always a solid way to eliminate some options lol

💯 👇In brief, NZ Labour (and left parties in general) need to ask one simple question: "What would Starmer do?" Then don't. #nzpol

No queens - we may have won the yellow-legged hornet battle There's hope we may have won the war against the yellow-legged hornet, but what happens next is critical.

Good shit to all involved from those putting up traps, to those looking closely at every wasp and bee, to those pushing the government to do something, to the workers at MPI.

Keep going!

So the PM is Chris and he succeeded Chris. Now Chris is Opposition Leader and he wants to have another crack at Chris in November. The only problem is that Chris wants to replace Chris before then if he can get the numbers, so he can face Chris at the election.

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Believing you’re better than other human beings and therefore you are allowed to violate human rights should be in the DSM as a diagnosis. I don’t care if it doesn’t qualify you for a PD
