The story of this Parliament is its ministers' willingness to simply lie in the House -- most notably about the Treaty and the factual basis of NZ history, but also about trivial things like where another MP was born -- and the Speaker's willingness to defend them in doing so

I can guarantee Ngai Tahu are not fully on board. @itiscolossal.bsky.social, Canterbury Museum & Paul Scofield cherry-picked who they engaged with (just like Colossal did for the thylacine de-extinction project). There is little support for moa de-extinction in Ngai Tahu bsky.app/profile/adze...
His mate Peter Jackson wants a giant moa but they have to start small. Apparently Ngāi Tahu are "really on board" with Jurassic-Park-style biotech ecotourism (some GM emus in an enclosure), think of the jobs, it'll be like Hobbiton.

American culture from 1776 on was Black, was Indigenous, was Spanish, was Jewish, was Quaker, was a whole lot of different things which then often got together and made splendidly non-European things, and most of our music has an African mother.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

I think maybe the remarkable part is that the US Attorney tried to indict six Democratic elected officials (and veterans) who made a video saying that everyone should follow the law.
Breaking News: Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against six Democrats who posted a video reminding members of the military to refuse illegal orders.

The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes.

Gonna be honest, it did feel a bit like I had been going crazy, especially since even before any of these revelations, a lot of career transphobes were quite openly pedophilic, Germaine Greer self-described as a pederast "like all women of taste", and yet nobody seemed to see the red flags.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Best case scenario for scientists named in the files is they threw away their morals for the possibility of funding. And we should absolutely shame tf out of them for it. Science becomes villainous without our morals and ethics. Never give them up.
At least 30 scientists, including famous paleontologist Jack Horner and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, have been named in the Epstein files so far. Once again proving that shitty men think with the wrong head no matter how smart they are.
