#BHN When you think about who will best provide for NZ in the health system just remember that the last 12 months of the last government Labour hired 10 FTE nurses a day, under this government National hired 1 FTE nurse every 2 weeks over 2 years #nzpol #nzpolitics

The Government has no credibility talking about the “international rules based order”. It criticises Iran at every turn but says nothing about the US-Israel illegal war of aggression. #StoptheWar Full speech here youtu.be/aiusHG5NOoU 2/3

Casar: "Trump said oil prices going up would be 'small price to pay.' Well, everything for him is small price to pay bc he never pays it. It's not his budget getting stretched thin. It's not his kids getting shipped off to war. They're too busy cashing in on business deals w/Middle Eastern despots"

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

Disaster!!! National and ACT will cry should our tax system actually face the wealthy to pay the same rate of tax working folk have to stump up. But it's a lie - like all of their lies. Let's look at Maine to see what happened (despite the same hysteria) www.mecep.org/blog/tax-fli...

Tax flight is a myth - MECEP

Recent studies, data, and testimony say that tax flight is a myth. Wealthy people aren’t fleeing — they’re thriving in higher-tax states.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a
"delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

Imagine this scenario. I met a lady who wants her 8 year-old boy to really enjoy his creative writing classes. I suggested she get him into a role playing game BUT pref not D&D because she’d have to DM and she’d never heard of it(?!?). Does anyone have a child friendly RPG suggestion for a busy mum?

If you keep voting for politicians who want to cut public services and roll back human rights, eventually you end up desperate but powerless because if you so much as squeak in protest the government is free to do what it wants to you.

Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Uber extracted $402m in revenue from NZ in 2024 but paid less than $1m in tax. Unfair global tax rules allow corporations to profit at our expense. Fair tax policies could help us tackle growing inequality, curb rising living costs, protect nature, and fund climate action. #FairTaxNow #TaxTheRich

Been lucky enough to visit Borneo, see incredible wildlife and meet a lovely couple who shared their photos. Our guide Saiben was a legend and could mimic any bird. Hats off to him as well as Utan Rainorest Lodge - but with only 17% of original forest left, Eco-Tourism may be the only answer.
