Menswear writer here. 👋 Let me tell you why you shouldn't wear an armband like that. 🧵

Yes, but at least we have a Prime Minister laser focused on solutions, aye. Not like he’s distracted by political machinations, a coup being plotted by right wing Scooby Doo villains wielding bed legs and a history of animal abuse. Oh.

"This is important." - NZ @greens.org.nz Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick, 5:50pm, 20 April 2026. Luxon lies to Aotearoa. #CoC have cut flood protection spending and investment by 💥41%💥 (compared to the previous govt) #FloodsNZ #ClimateCrisis

ANALYSIS: Government set to reduce Treaty in legislation to lowest possible standard - what it means Sweeping changes to Treaty clauses across 23 laws could lower te Tiriti to its weakest legal standard, reshaping how it influences decisions in health, environment and beyond.

yes we've all been frothing with the coup, meanwhile Mani Dunlop is out here reporting on this fuckery and what it means.

They were salivating at the UK private ministers’ friends rort scheme and were extremely upset they couldn’t sort the same thing here.

LOL

I’ve met him. He’s ignorant, therefore doesn’t understand that his reckons are complete horseshit

The damaging events are on the right hand side of the graph. The right hand side of the graph is where we live now.

At this point, burning Palantir to the ground should be seen as a universally good thing.

And no country’s perfect of course. A lot to do everywhere. But trusting the most powerful country in the world again is going to take Nuremberg levels of public justice and accountability. If your future leaders just “move on to heal” then sorry but we can’t deal.

What’s the saying? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me?
At some point you need to reckon with the fact that he was elected again even after showing his colours between 2017 and 2021. Even after Jan 6th. Even after Covid. He may not speak for every individual, but he is USA for now

‘I feel like I’m losing her’: the families torn apart by older relatives going far right | Family | The Guardian It starts with a ‘back in my day’ nostalgic meme – then suddenly your elders are sharing AI-generated ‘boomerslop’ and repeating conspiracy theories …

This puts the past year of British polls on context. This is the demographic that's made Reform the most popular party, radicalised by far-right content on Facebook

There’s literally footage of him chugging a beer whilst shitfaced with hockey players. I don’t see how he “holds any cards”

There’s no reason to listen to millionaires wailing about mining projects OPINION: In the real world, the Government needs money to pay for things, and that requires well-paying jobs and tax revenue.

This tone deaf opinion piece proves that, really, there’s no reason to listen to the whinges of convicted fraudster Damian Grant.

Well I’d make an exception for you sir.

What I love about this is its factuality. Where logs were originally used in the 16th C to measure the speed if a sailing ship, and results recorded in the “logbook”. And then an actual bug found in punchcards used to program early computers.

Social media is so cooked I have no idea if you mean Facebook or LinkedIn. LinkedIn is getting so weird I wish there was a filter to block any post from anyone over 40 and “Open To Work”.

just spitballing here but one thing that might turn down the temperature is top CEOs not doing and saying insane and extremely harmful things all the time, such as enthusiastically embracing fascist movements

Israel’s condemnation now happens at every single criticism of anything, or anyone Israeli. It’s lost any bite and will be ignored. The world is waking up. “Woke” if you will.

“…when worn in
‘physical proximity’ to those who are not members of the woman's household.”

Sounds indistinguishable from something enacted in Saudi Arabia

In some insane multiverse I can see Mitchell, but Simeon Brown? JFC I can’t even muster a gram of respect for that fundamentalist failure.

He’s too busy asking conspiracy questions to lead anything.

Episode 10: Battle of Quiberon Bay: France’s Do... by The Untitled History Podcast In 1759 France and Britain were locked in the Seven Years War. It was a war of global proportions. In Europe, Russia, India, and the American colonies the two countries fought to establish who was the...

In 1759, a French invasion fleet bound for the UK prepared to shelter from a huge winter storm in the Bay of Biscay.

Riding into attack on the edge of that storm was a Royal Navy fleet under Admiral Hawke.

On the pod, @drachinifel.bsky.social look at a gloriously batshit naval battle we both love.

A cat rides a white dog with the caption “And I looked, and behold, a pale horse. and the rider’s name was death.”

A failed political legacy awaits. The trumpets have sounded…

Writing with the amazing @sarahhbickerton.bsky.social we unpack online misogyny in NZ, what laws look like right now and set out our vision for online safety regulations that support women's human rights.

Was wonderful working with Sarah on this piece!
