Thread here I made while reading through it. bsky.app/profile/stef... Lots of folk still have trauma around leaky buildings but *nothing* in his announcement made leaky buildings more likely than they are right now. Lots of NZ is intensifying rapidly already. This just makes that easier.

What fucking champion told Chris Bishop it was a good idea to aspirationally reference San Francisco in a speech on housing affordability?

Libertarianism is wanting the right to endanger others' lives without consequences

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Watching King Kong (2005) with my kids and getting very into explaining why I was soemotionally invested in King Kong (1976), aged 6yo, and why people are shit and Kong is lovely. This story really makes me cry. A lot.

It must be a huge relief to everyone here in NZ to know that we've only got another 2 and a bit terms before we kick out our fucking useless parasite Tories, just like the UK!

I hope they rip him to shreds

Farage is now MP for the most deprived area of the country. He's got a lot of work to do.

Thing I kept finding odd about the R4 election coverage was that they kept saying that this was only the 2nd time since 1997 that Labour had knocked the Tories out of office but, by that reasoning, you could say the same about the Tories vs Labour since 1979. Subconscious bias, innit?

It's surprising how often we've had to replace the metal lifetime WCC dog tags that replaced the almost indestructible plastic annual ones.

Oh shit, you know who I forgot? David fucking Cameron hahahah he contributed another 50% to this loss, so adding that to the tally, Trussenomics says the Tories are 300% losers.

Five PMs in 14 years of Conservative Party rule, and the insanity all started with Cameron calling the Brexit referendum in a dick-measuring contest with BoJo that has led to the collapse of the postwar consensus, NEVER FORGET.

Truss's abiding material contribution to this loss is a little underrated, I'd say her contribution was up to 30%, and Sunak's maybe only 10%, and with BoJo's 80% and using Trussenomics, altogether that's 200% pure losers.

I'm pretty sure that this is 80% Boris

Delighted that a bunch of horrible bastard Tories have lost their seats but I nevertheless need to remind myself and the rest of you that Keir Starmer is a danger to trans people. Maybe Angela Rayner can do a coup or something down the line, idk.

Seeing more and more anti-trans people blaming transgender people for the growing homophobia in the West. No Terfy McTerface, your gay friend isn't being called slurs on the street because of something I've done. It's because people like YOU are enabling the bigots and they are getting bolder.
