It's that horrible damp cold in Te Whanganui-a-Tara today, the graveyard clamminess that seeps into your bones, that creeps under your clothes, the feeling of mould edging its way, silently, into your lungs, the wooden shack miasma that never quite seems to dry out

Labour have committed to repealing this within the first 100 days.

Imagine having such an unpopular piece of legislation, be trending downwards in the polls, with a leader uniformly disliked by voters, and STILL letting Seymour coerce you into ramming this through? #nzpol

Yep, get in and get it excavated before it is fucked permanently by something else

Ah! Probably what I call rescue archaeology eg when a site is about to be destroyed through development etc, so you go in and dig on a really fixed schedule, like 6 weeks, before the development starts.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

There's a reason the right pronounce it anTEEFa and not ANTIfa.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

This where you're better off taking on Ancient Egyptian undead as mummies tend to have their legs wrapped together making running nigh on impossible

Emergency archaeologist? Is there such a thing at emergency archaeology?

And it's never too late to train for anything

So they moved across the world to avoid being exploited by an economy that was controlled and exploited by business owners/employers?

I just learned on a podcast yesterday that the reason stalls in America have horrible gaps that are easy to see through is intentional so people can look in and make sure you're only doing approved stuff, so this nosey pervert thing is built into our national character

It's the colonial way

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap
HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion. HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though." HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves. The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

Mr Luxon, why did your Pākehā ancestors move here? Was it because they couldn't make a living where they were?

“…I think people are getting sick of unions prioritising the politics over patients, or kids in education and parents being mucked around,"

No Christopher Luxon, people are getting sick of YOU prioritising your fiscal policies on your already wealthy mates, rather than on healthcare and education.
