Okay but having Willis and Richardson debate "is the government not right-wing enough or just the right amount of right-wing?" is a trap, and it's a trap that's explicitly being run by the TPU. Y'all see that, right?

Psusennes I of Egypt’s 21st Dynasty was buried at Tanis in a rare intact tomb. Found in 1940 with a silver coffin and gold mask, its discovery was overshadowed by World War II.

Ava Gardner at sixteen in the summer of 1939 for a portrait by Larry Tarr, the husband of Ava’s sister Bappie and a professional photographer. The pics were submitted to MGM and Ava was given a screen test. Said Louis Mayer, “She can’t act, she can’t talk, but she’s terrific!”

The Luxon Govt’s rewrite of the RMA laws allows companies to claim financial compensation (from taxpayers) when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment.
Let that sink in.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

ALSO it's a bit rich for an administration that constantly abuses the summer break to try do the most controversial shit with the least oversight or consultation, aye. That's two summers in a row I've had to deal with your transphobic little mitts on our kids.

Hey, so guess what I did? 🧵
Can I prove Deloitte used AI to write this report? No. But that would honestly be the less embarrassing option. The research in this report is below par for a 1st year undergrad, where they even bother to show research.
Let's unpack some of the mistakes I found.

Just noting which consultancy wrote this report and the history of their reports for public agencies internationally. Anyone check the footnotes of this one?
