One of the highlights of my Whitcoulls career was when Paul Henry's book got remaindered and we had to rip all the covers off about 100 of them to send back to the publisher. My manager came over and said 'Caitlin, I have a job you're going to love every second of'

Saw a great video today from a woman suffering from depression who said one of her driving motivations to live these days is to outlive Trump. I hope she’ll then push on, of course, but yes. 100%. We must continue. Even if it’s just for spite.

Greens propose Inter City Rail that costs less than Roads of National Party Significance, have a higher Benefit Cost Ratio than Roads of National Party Significance, and even NZF supports it. Of course National wont despite their conservative voters supporting it because Luxon is a fuckwit

Luxon dumping on Chloe is a sure sign they're shitting themselves. Time for the media to call out Nat lies. If they don't like being criticised in Europe for being climate deniers, they should stop undermining efforts to protect our kids futures.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Trump died and got buried at Mar-Lago. A man went to the airport and said, "I need a ticket to go piss on Trump's grave." The agent said, "Yes, sir. Here's a ticket to Los Angeles." The guy said, "Los Angeles?! But Trump's buried in Florida!" The agent said, "Yes, sir, but the back of the line..."

for those outside New Zealand: 2 years ago a veiled far-right astroturf org threatened to sue an investigative journalist for a book he was writing about them. He was not writing a book about them, but this incident meant former staff started leaking to him. He used those leaks to write a book.
