"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Health experts say ADHD is NOT overdiagnosed, despite Labour claiming otherwise ADHD experts have published a paper disproving the claim that ADHD is overdiagnosed — a big fuck you to Labour for pedalling this lie

@rachelcdailey.bsky.social reports.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

It’s frustrating seeing this barbarism knowing what we could be.

All these scientific and technological breakthroughs that could elevate humanity, and we’re busy murdering each other.

The world's progress is being held hostage by the giant fragile egos of small depraved men.

Sure would be nice to have some ELECTRIFIED RAIL to transport good around the country with, powered by our 95%+ renewable power grid.

Try drafting Gen Z…. go on… They will burn the country down before being shipped off to war…. #nzpol

Reddit screenshot from Glasgow thread. Bright flames rising out the side of a Victorian building.

Video screenshot from Reddit. Building is now a shell with flames visible in every window.

The roof has collapsed embers rise into the night sky.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

Looks amazing!

Public service announcement: this is a FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS

Not an 'energy crisis'. People need energy: it keeps them alive. This is a crisis due to forced dependency on the most unreliable and unstable fuel product in human history.

THIS IS A FOSSIL FUEL CRISIS.

Omg, this is my cup of tea….

So after the bombing of desalination installations, they can’t even collect rainwater….

Socialism builds stuff. Capitalism makes money from the things Socialism built. Once you see that you know it's Socialism you need.

They tested it in Gaza, where they don’t worry about morality.
Aotearoa needs to get sure-footed with our positions on so many momentous things at the moment but we have no leadership….
#nzpol

I would just like to remind everyone that the slimy Atlas operative cancelled the network of community organisation supply good lunch (apparently “woke” to have nice food for kids) in favour of a global corporate to serve up disgusting and occasionally dangerous slop to our tamariki.

Terrifying….. #nzpol

And many of those same families and networks were also profiting off Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

Countries that have adopted electric vehicles the fastest will suffer the least from oil price spikes caused by the US/Israel attack on Iran.

NZ is not one of those, thanks to Luxon’s poor leadership.

I’m so glad as a nation we decided to massively invest in renewables - oh wait 🤔🥴🤦‍♀️

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

I am thinking that the decrepit sack of dog mince Winston Peters went on radio yesterday and said the 2023 election results stopped NZ becoming a "Venezuela or Myanmar" and we're RATIONING DIALYSIS to hit an arbitrary spend target.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, Luxon’s lot are going to kill the Clean Car Standard.

At a time when fuel prices are rising and emissions have to come down.

Russia is the only other OECD country without these standards, it’s BONKERS.

'I want to sounds smart and inspirational': How ministers use AI Most ministers say they don't use AI – but those who do use it for speechwriting, research, drafting questions to officials and generating images. Marc Daalder reports.

Unbelievably on the day Erica the North Shore racist pushes a leadership bid Marc Daalder details her getting a speech from ChatGPT.

She actually typed "I want to sounds smart and inspirational." Great use of grammar for an Education Minister.
