Today, my Honey and I traveled to the beautiful township of Matakana and got matching tattoos. We chose a Sailer Jerry inspired design, with each others initials in the center of the heart. My right arm and his left, so we are always together No going back...

I have just heard a podcaster declare the Scottish Independence Referendum was orchestrated by malign Russian actors with the goal of breaking up the UK. Particularly because the British nuclear submarine fleet is based in Scotland. I curious to hear what Scots think about this 😇

Im going to say something unpopular to my American friends The West Without America, WWA, can't trust you any more. We just dont know quite how to separate from you, but separate we will It's not just the current rush of blood to the head, it's the entrenchment of some very shaky values

I want to be kind, but I do think for a generation America will have no moral standing among any of us The gaslighting, the hypocrisy, the looting of the public sphere through grift and corruption, the exultant destruction of ANYTHING noble or generous or truly righteous is so sickening

I am full of grief I wanted to say how it is I am so afraid this might come to my country, because what starts in America often ends up in New Zealand I thank God for Canadians. They are very like New Zealanders and Australians. If they are not falling for this, we won't either Arohanui 🌷

I won't be visiting, although my only sister lives in LA and I have friends there. You won't get your pride in yourself bolstered by us. To lose your pride in your country is a severe loss, I feel bad for those many good Americans who are fighting to take their country back

You have lost your standing among decent people. To know that people are gunned down in the streets and have the President tell blatant lies and MAGA influences say purge your heart of empathy, it's what God would want...it's so vile, I can't ever even look at you again

...double down on gun ownership, coming up with the most ridiculous arguments Arm the teachers! A good guy with a gun!! Then came Uvalde. And a mother went against orders and got her child out of the school. Kids were ringing their parents and begging for their lives while the cops cowered

All of the myths you have about yourselves...a changing symbol The WWA is now sering the true value system, the bullying, the willful ignorance, the utter callousness, the contempt. You are now a danger. A military danger I wont be buying American stuff if I can possibly avoid it.

I remember all those movies where the Mean Girls or the Ignorant Jocks ruled, and that was the plot line. The gratuitous cruelty, no accountability, no justice....until the need managed some clever trick We all watched agape as babies, literal babies were slaughtered at schools. We watched you...

About the ICE shooting and non violent resistance Ghandi wrote of non violence that it was the ONLY tool that could be used against the British in India, because the only thing the British had was violence. The same is true here. ICE only has violence, it doesn't have compassion or generosity

Use the only thing ICE doesn't have, non violence, compassion Humane people all over the world are watching and are sickened by ICE and Trump. There is a momentum building

1/2 Im coming out on record I am ANTI FASCIST America is now a rogue state * interfering in other countries elections *upholding with cash imputs illiberal regimes *defying International law, by firing on vessels in International Waters *deporting suspects to foreign countries without trial

2/2 * supporting Putin in every way he possibly to can take down a democratic country * enable genocide in Gaza * enable Putin expansion of warfare to NATO countries * still more... There WILL BE a reckoning. At 50% of people are really good and we hate this with the fires a thousand burning suns

I'm looking at Trump and MAGA all wrong I used to think MAGA chose Trump as their champion. I realise it is the other way around. Trump looked at the MAGA type and decided he really liked their stupidity, their spite, their narrow, parochial racism and their greed and decided to woo them.

So he tweeted and put out feelers, did campaign rallies and refined his hateful message with a bit of charismatic revival until he got a lovely, snuggly fit More than anything, they believe uncritically in Trump's divinity and their own It's why I don't think the US can ever be trusted again

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), said on Saturday that “the manmade famine in Gaza has been largely shaped by the deliberate attempts to replace” UN aid systems with a contentious, US and Israeli-backed group called the GHF.

Israeli forces have routinely fired on Palestinians trying to get food at GHF-run distribution sites in Gaza, and the UN reported this week that more than 1,300 aid seekers have been killed since the group began operating in May Taken from Al Jazeera www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

aljazeera.com‘Local sports champion’: Palestinian boy, 17, dies of starvation in GazaAtef Abu Khater’s weight dropped to just 25kg (55lbs) before he died of malnutrition, his family says.

So, almost as many AID WORKERS have killed by Israeli forces than Isrealis killed by Hamas on October 7th. The wider west needs to hurry up and recognise Palestine. New Zealand is unlikely to do it because the ministers that could do this are exploring American extremities with their tongues.

If Donald Trump wants to know how hard it is to fight your own citizens, he could talk to Starmer about the Troubles. The Irish never gave in, but there was bloodshed The Americans won't either. And there will be bloodshed
