UN report:

Israel has destroyed 69 years of human development in Gaza, “the worst economic collapse ever recorded.”
UN Special Rapporteur for oPT Francesca Albanese: “BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel's assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded. This is not war: it is genocide.”

For those that don't know what this is - the government suppressed this expert report on Clinical Guidelines for Transgender Health 24 hours before it was due to go out, and played politics with the lives of young transgender people.

You can now read the report in full.

My entire voting life has been under MMP, and this is by far the stupidest consequence of it I've ever seen. And that's not a mocking of MMP in theory

[Scene is JESUS sat behind a boss’s desk in his office on a cloud in HEAVEN] 1 JESUS [speaking into intercom] Hi can you send in Saint Nicholas please 2 SANTA [entering in full Santa garb]: Hi boss JESUS: Hi Nick 3 JESUS: Listen - about this ‘my birthday’ thing... SANTA: Ohh not this again boss 4 JESUS: Nick, it’s out of hand. *You’ve* got out of hand. 5 JESUS: I mean when I hired you, you was all humble, hiding under windows, lobbing in dowries… And now you’re like… 6 JESUS [gesturing disdainfully at Santa’s clothing]: I mean - what’s this. 7 SANTA: This is my get up! I’ve had this since the Coca Cola deal in the 30s JESUS: *That’s what I mean.* 8 JESUS: You’ve just gone too - SANTA: Oh no, oh no - 9 SANTA: Sorry boss but waaay back in the Reformation, right, Martin Luther said: “why don’t we have Jesus delivering the presents?”. And when he prayed to ask you, do you remember what you said? Eh? 10 SANTA: You said: “I ain’t going back there” 11 SANTA: If you wanna take over - JESUS: Oh yeah! Kids coming downstairs to find me resurrected in their living room going "I got you an Xbox"... 12 SANTA: You’re just feeling threatened cos I’m doing a bloody good - JESUS: *WATCH IT NICK*. [ends]

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?
How WhatsApp messages revealed ex-reform politicians pro-russian vibes.

Not to undermine how transphobic Simeon Brown is, but with NZ First's announcement today to repeal the Regulatory Standards Act that they literally voted to pass just days ago, I can't help but think the puberty blocker ban was a negotiation tactic to buy the votes of the very transphobic NZ First.

It’s the time of the year (Summer) when the Pōhutukawa trees (also called New Zealand Christmas Trees) begin to bloom. Most bloom brilliant red flowers but this gorgeous beast blooms bright yellow.
This is how it looked this afternoon. 💛

It's actually great the Ockhams have adopted a zero-tolerance approach to generative AI in book production, and a shame these authors are casualties of their publisher trying to save a buck. (Incidentally I think both the covers are garbage.)

A new ruling on AI means the Ockhams are in the strange position of judging a book by its cover

A really fun fact.

If you go to the cartoonmuseum.org in Central London to see incredible collections & shows of the best cartoon artwork
& you pay for admission once, that ticket acts as an annual membership so you can go back as many times as you like in 1 year.
