Project 2025 talked extensively about Iran. They even mentioned regime change. They told you they were going to do this.
Stop acting surprised. Especially you conservatives or you both sides are the same people.

I cannot stress how unusual it is in international relations for states to assassinate or kidnap foreign leaders. And Trump’s now done it twice in the past two months.

I’m sure it will have its problems but you can only let the the tail wag that dog for so long and it’s been long enough

Ah there’s that. National should have been able to reign act and nz first in with at least keeping the door open to a grand coalition and not pretending that’s not actually a possibility. Because it is. Other democracies have had grand coalitions to keep hard right out

Would be the fairest to the biggest number of voters. Rather a grand coalition than a minor party setting the agenda imho

If it helps.. We had to make the same decision with our old girl. I promised her she wouldn’t have to go the vet again, that place was her worst nightmare. We just lived with it, managed her pain if any, medicated for inflammation, she had 5 more good years of moving fine after a period of rest

AI Is Worse Than The Dot Com Bubble: Part Three Podcast Episode · Better Offline · 01/29/2026 · 14m

Here’s part 3 of week’s Dot Com Bubble series. I explain how the economics of AI are much worse than the dot com bubble, with far fewer customers, way more debt, and markets with an unhealthy obsession with one stock - NVIDIA.

Photo of small Australian cattle dog lying on her side with her legs folded giving the side eye, in her crate, door open, blanket bunched up beside her

Pointed sighing and thumping turning in her (open) crate. She really is so (not) chill about just working from home with me today. #patti #acd #blueheeler #aotearoapets

IKEA Sylvia Park has air purifiers for around $250. Would love one in every classroom in New Zealand as the school year starts

Escaping the trap of US tech dependence Canada needs real digital sovereignty, not our own digital colonizers

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.

It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.
