Of a piece with the news that elite universities purposefully exclude qualified women both at the admissions level and by facilitating gender terrorism against them once they are admitted, understanding that many will drop out. Rape is punishment for women's ambition. bsky.app/profile/ebha...

I don’t think being high on one’s ego is illegal even if it is highly obnoxious and bad for society.

He’s just promoting culture wars instead of offering something kiwis care about…. Something which improves their lives. Despise the politician that uses fear and hate to get votes. Fuck all the assholes that’ll vote for him.

A Dutch environmental group claims NZ has broken its climate change commitments made in the EU free trade agreement, and has filed a complaint through the European Commission. NZ govt is looking around for someone to blame. My #Cartoon today #NZpol #EUfreeTrade #ClimateChange
Cartoon. Title: “Patriot Games” PM Christopher Luxon and Trade Minister Todd McClay as schoolboys, looking surly. Luxon is saying, “Breaching the European Free Trade agreement?! What I want to know is who dobbed us in?!” McClay is saying, “Oooh, ha, watch yourself Chlöe” as she falls over his outstretched foote.w

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

On the ACT campaign trail, one issue emerges above the others
ACT MPs rolled into Tauranga in their big pink bus - Big Pinky - on Monday. Voters urged them to do more on race-relations and one law for all. Stuff joined them for the day.

killings may reflect a rise in families wrestling with financial stress, and the failure to support and treat people with serious mental health and addiction problems. - humans tend to punch down. Poverty has increased, drug use has increased, we can do better.
