So, I’m making one huge ministry of everything that matters most to people like me/us:

Urban development,
Transport
and Environment.

"The Dominion can reveal Hitler has invaded Poland'
"Confirmed to Stuff" via a formal judgment of the High Court of NZ which also was published on the Courts of NZ decisions of public interest ... but sure, your news organisation got the scoop 🙄

That means it's two years since I stopped.

I was chill with making myself broker and deader, but helping some asshole who's already loaded buy a new ute was a bridge too far, and to this minute I've saved $30,002.32
Two years since the incoming government announced it hoped to fund the tax cuts for landlords partly by having more people smoking

Not keen on politicians who come here from wherever they lived overseas and don't have the first idea about how things work in Aotearoa and presume to tell us what to do.

"While elite journos and businessmen kiss the ring of Trump, people in jammies and slippers confront ICE in the street. The courage of ordinary people has been stunning compared to the elite."

On the pod @amandamarcotte.bsky.social is good on Trump's downward spiral:
newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Trump Is a Weak, Failing President, and the Media Is Finally Saying So
As Trump’s downward spiral starts producing harsher media coverage, a writer who regularly dissects MAGA and political media explains why he’s entering a tailspin that will be very hard to reverse.

Hmmm. Takapuna Grammar, Belmont Intermediate, Devonport Primary and Vauxhall Primary Schools together with St Leos do not yet appear to have made this commitment.
Great interactive resource here from Tania Waikato / Chris Abercrombie of schools that have publicly committed to giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Locally, I'm disappointed Fairfield Intermediate, Fairfield Primary & Woodstock aren't listed yet.

A parliament full of people as good as this would be bloody great
I’m delighted to announce I'm standing as the Labour candidate in Wellington Bays/Rongotai in 2026. I'm thrilled to fight for better jobs, housing, and health services in our community. Look in the bio to donate, volunteer, and help us deliver a better government next year.

If you have a dairy that got ramraided six times by the same kids and then they turned up one day outside asking everyone to contribute to “help make the dairy good again” then you’ll know what it feels like to hear National pledge to make our super savings as good as Australia’s

This is the 2nd time a major government report from Deloitte has been found to contain errors likely generated by AI.

First in Australia and now, as The Independent has confirmed, in a major healthcare policy paper for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador #nlpoli #AI #deloitte

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.

The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:
newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.
