'The invisible unemployed': Too much for a benefit, not enough to make ends meet While the rising number of beneficiaries is plain to see, there is another layer of people struggling.

This is a good piece. I've found myself unable to access any government assistance over the last year and a half, despite being unable to pay my rent or bills several times. The system sucks and needs to be overhauled.

Excellent video that all NZ politicians, local and national, should watch and think about.

This is awful.

Awesome! Thank you. It was such a crazy idea, especially with what’s going on with global oil supplies.

Great! Much better than the original proposal. Thank you.

Good stuff! Any news on the proposal to cut all cycle way spending?

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Our government really doesn’t care about the democratic process.

Hello, when you use the idiom “perfect is the enemy of good,” that’s intended for skills and hobbies, not as a justification to vote for politicians that will fund genocides.

Thanks

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Cutting dialysis just to save a couple of dollars is truly toxic behaviour. But let's ask ourselves the question: where did the money that used to be available to keep people alive actually go?

A short thread.

Everything we need to know about these two repellent people is written on their faces
Petulant arrogance on the right, slithering privilege and absent responsibility on the left

I’ll be there in a couple of weeks. Really looking forward to trying the new trains in the centre.

I am quite tired of being subjected to the worthless, imbecilic and mealy-mouthed statements of the day drunks, coke heads, racists, islamophobes, bigots, cowards and empty suits who have been elevated to our halls of power. What a massive waste of time and human life

Yeah look, lotta niceties being spoken, but until I see these three things I won't believe cross party work is happening:

1. Current government walking back their overscoped RoNS programme.
2. Opposition doesn't attack them for it
3. MPs working together to get consensus

Remembering that time I ordered a Big Mac and Apple Pie at McDonalds and got handed a box of napkins and a thick shake and someone said in a weary boss voice "Big Mac and Apple Pie Chris, mate the words are right there in front of you"

Female #kakapo Kohengi on her nest with a newly-hatched chick and an egg (unseen). We removed the egg from underneath her and gave it to another female (Phoenix) who had infertile eggs. We're trying to ensure each female on Anchor Island has 1-2 fertile eggs to hatch. #kakapo2026 #conservation
