Woken up in the middle of the night by local drunks - and their dogs - while camping in a national park. Yelled at them (only half awake) after stepping in dog poo. They called me a greenie moll before finally leaving. I'll take that.

Oh great an article about how to stay healthy when traveling… with zero mentions of wearing a mask. Public health is a joke.

Woody Harrelson has done an ad "for Exxon". Well worth watching

With the lack of coverage of important international stories on our ABC, it’s interesting to note what stories do get prominence 🙄

I would prefer Jacinda working with the Sydney University than the Dildo Steven Joyce "working" with the Waikato University. At least Jacinda is not a grifter. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

We commend WA’s EPA for listening to the science and making preliminary findings that clearly set out this proposal’s threat to the environment. And we urge Minister Watt to listen to the science and reject Woodside’s Browse plans. www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...

"The report found Israeli authorities and forces had continued to 'commit genocidal acts' even after the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, 'with the intent to destroy the Palestinian people'." No surprise that this got hardly any mainstream coverage. #GazaGenocide www.nine.com.au/world-news/m...

Australians are buying health products and services online faster than our regulators can keep up: commercial telehealth, weight-loss prescribing and now largely unregulated injectables.

Wild polio now exists in only two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan. But the disease can travel anywhere – it just can't hurt kids who are vaccinated, as Germany discovered when it found the virus in sewage, but recorded zero cases of paralysis.

I am not a conspiracist about TOP but I think they are hopelessly naive and their ideas rely on assuming things about the NZ electorate and society which are obviously not true. They're useful idiots. Also PICK. A. SIDE #nzpol

The Collapse of Cuba Hunger. Sickness. Blackouts. Abandoned streets. The withering of the state is shocking to behold. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

oh fuck no, google's AI bullshit is coming for the 25 year old lorem ipsum generator website which has been the top of this search forever. this is like Amazon just rolling up to your local bookstore and levelling it to the ground

📢 Silver Fern livewire Maddy Gordon says she'd had enough of the constant booing when she mocked the boisterous Australian crowd in the third Test in Sydney.

The standards you walk past, or fail to report on, are the standards you accept.

Electric stoves helped people with asthma breathe easier. Swapping polluting gas stoves for electric ones reduced asthma symptoms. www.sciencenews.org/article/asth...

All the other stuff aside; it’s entirely in the realm of possibilities to for the Greens to achieve 20+% of the vote share 🤩🤞💚🕊️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #Aotearoa #ForAllOfUs

The ‘real risk’ is that Nats get anywhere near the economy again-having tanked it and all… I really hope that there’s a green landslide. And NoBoats chickens out of debating Chloe. We all know why! #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

"Cheesecake factory designed by Saddam Hussein" 🤣🤪🤣

Honestly this is sought after space and won’t really have an impact. For the vast majority of people this end of Queen Street is a walk-through area, because we can’t remotely afford to buy at these places, so we walk through here to go between the station and the shops we want.

They found a long-dead plague flea at the library. There is so much cool stuff to be found in old books. Not just history but also biology and even genetics in the gunk. Eraser dust from cleaning, for instance, holds information about sheep pox. Libraries are cool. www.youtube.com/shorts/xKuaG...

This would be a perfect time to fucken go for gold. Restore same day enrolments. Restore the ability to have Kai near voting stations. Restore prisoner votes. Allow youth voting. Let's go hundy for accessibility. We ain't got time for mediocre center politics.

If you wanted one headline to explain what happened to us, this might do it: trying to make bank off a ten percent chance of killing us all

As we said in the pandemic, an ICU's capacity is not measured in beds, it is measured in "staffed beds". Intensive care is about the intensive caring provided by a coordinated team with particular expertise. It is never just about the equipment or beds. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/...

Got off a bus 3 yrs ago. Grinning gap toothed at me that all of us wd recognise as cog. impaired. He was a sweet kid begging and homeless. Since then always carry cash.

The substantial abandonment of institutional mental health care might be the nastiest thing governments have done in that area in my lifetime. Sure, complicated. Some were clearly awful. We were taught to think they were awful. The Jack Nicholson film. The 'Wolston Park' stigma.

In the last 24 hours there has been much focus on the unexpected victory of Lula in Brazil. But as a signal of hope for a more participatory democratic future, Serbia is the real beacon.
