As someone who works in the mental health sector, I cannot state enough that a right wing government will kill so many people through austerity. This is known fact, not hyperbole. This is beareaucratic violence against vulnerable populations, to "save" money.

Anyway I heard a rumour that GiveOut Day are still donation matching until the donation matching funds are used up so head on over to giveout-day-2026.raiselysite.com and pick a good cause because I have too many tabs open for one person to donate to (if that person is me and broke).

Really fascinating how much less of certain content I'm seeing in every little corner of places like Reddit and Threads. Other people remarking on it too. And all after that one Russian data centre blew up. 🤔

Yup, they don't care. Recall in 2023 Brooke van Velden said "When it came to Covid, we completely blew out what the value of a life was, completely" Then in April 2024, Seymour said "We accept Covid happened but that's largely subsided now" And see these previous quotes👇 #nzpol
Extract from a Newshub article on 25 June 2024 quoting NZ govt minister Louise Upston:

"Funding was increased during COVID-19 due to the extra demand and challenges in getting food to people in lockdown, but the pandemic has now passed and we are continuing the last Government's transition back to normal services."
Excerpt from a 2 October 2023 NZ Herald report:
Luxon said he's had Covid twice.
National didn't have a specific pandemic plan but said normal risk management would be part of a National-led Government.

Your daily reminder that more people are playing and buying PC games than ever before. This is a growing industry. The only reason the industry is struggling is because the people are the top are vacuuming up all the money made to divert it to AI in an unhinged all-in multi-trillion-dollar gamble.

The world will talk to death about gender without ever showing interest in the collective wisdom of people who have moved through the world as different genders. It tells you something that even as transness became a political issue sucking up billions of dollars, this fact remains.

Things that seem to resonate with rangitahi when talking about voting or registering to vote: 1. Your vote counts exactly the same as a billionaire or CEO. 2. You don’t have to know about every policy or everything all the parties are promising, you can vote on what matters to you.

Everyone’s mad at Danny Trejo for signing on to Ben Shapiro’s pro-ICE movie but now his son reveals how Shapiro’s team tricked an old man into doing this 😡
For anyone seeing this shit with my dad...

He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace.”

He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.

About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved.

My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is.

My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to.

It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.

Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.

There's a genre of tiktoks I see in which very old men are found wallowing in filthy homes, abandoned by family, and the tiktoker comes to save them. And while I know that our support of the elderly is dismal. I also wonder how many of these men were godawful human beings who refused to learn to

Metallica’s gut-wrenching “Ride The Lightning” is about spending your final moments in an electric chair. The title was taken from Stephen King’s The Stand.

We just got into some social topics. The death penalty was a big question and the electric chair. That’s heavy. What if that was you, mistakenly? That’s what that song was about, being accidentally found guilty and put to death with no way to stop it. It was just a matter of putting myself into other people’s situations and trying to get these feelings out.

I’m rereading Susan Cooper’s The Grey King while in Wales, near Tal y Llyn, and visiting the book’s locations (as well as Silver on the Tree’s). It’s really an extraordinary book, so dark and rich and genuinely menacing. Reading it in the shadow of Cader Idris is quite unsettling.

Hot take: Even if you removed Alex Jones from the equation entirely, I think you could still draw a straight line from Waking Life at the beginning of the 2000s to the tech oligarchs, rogansphere, alt-right, and dark enlightenment of the 2020s. It’s the same lineage, the same species of “thought”.
