“Māori and disabled” might as well just go full “no blacks no dogs” at this point.
Remember when Erica was running a social media campaign trying to pretend to be the liberal wing of the Nats.

Husband just appeared to tell me (with a bout of horrified laughter, if you know what that sounds like - I do it a lot myself) that one of the MoE docs he was reading about the new curriculum put Māori, Pacific, and disabled learners in one paragraph at the end. You know, because they're all "other"

It's only a matter of time before humanities departments will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

can labour kick hipkins already lol
like... he's been more supportive of ACT and NZF MPs than this

Hipkins says Michael Wood must regain trust of his Labour colleagues
Labour leader Chris Hipkins says Wood will need to rebuild trust before he could take up any role in a future Government, but he could have a lot to contribute.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Has a journo asked the PM if his local government minister here is describing the strict 'one person, one vote' model of democracy that the PM was so passionate about when discussing Māori wards etc when on the campaign trail just 2 short years ago?

![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)
