I can't understand how this didn't get more traction? Minister in bed with oil companies known for ripping off nz and its yesterday's news. He should resign, right? #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
How the oil and gas industry helped rewrite New Zealand’s drilling rules
A paper trail shows just how far ministers went to accommodate the industry's wishlist, including giving it access to draft laws.

New data show that violence against women remains a global public health crisis.

The new Violence Against Women estimates provides the most comprehensive picture yet of intimate partner and non-partner sexual violence https://bit.ly/3K4vCV9

Luxon himself handed me the Prime Minister's science prize last year. Let me say this in plain English: he's an idiot for running a govt who budgeted more for AI than for the Marsden fund. any journo reading this can quote me on it #nzpol

Meme with two sections. Top shows a blurred audience and a banner that reads People no longer believe working hard will lead to a better life, survey shows. Bottom shows caption the working class above two side by side cartoon panels of a male starship officer in a gold uniform. In the first he rests his face on his hand, looking unimpressed. In the second he covers his mouth as if pretending to be shocked. The joke suggests workers are not surprised by the survey.

What fucks me off the most about the Tom Phillips situation is that there are men out there who think its their god-given right to have everything go their way & when it doesn’t, they do whatever the fuck they want. This is NOT uncommon behaviour in New Zealand.

Really good read from #rnz on tik tok and algorithms. Both reassuring when we're fed those alarmist narratives and still scary. www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/i...

Everyone stop, this is important
A black and white drawing of three dachshunds arranged vertically, each holding a different optical illusion object in its mouth, and the dogs themselves drawn as if a single line optical illusion. The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style. The artwork is signed “@IndieTheIntrovert” in the bottom right corner.

A meme with an image of ice agents standing nearish but not accosting a person covered completely in book pages leaning against a brick wall. The caption reads, breaking news. Clever migrant wears the Epstein files to hide from Trump administration.
