What if there was a video that brings together @grantkirkhope.bsky.social & George Andreas' era-defining DK Rap from #DonkeyKong 64, and the dulcet sounds of the Welsh language?

Don’t swim if you are in Wellington. Heavy rains means the harbour and beaches are replete with the foul emission of our industrial settlements. Code brown. Poop in the water.

I don't think corruption gets enough follow up in New Zealand. The links (should I say "concidences") between donations to politicians/parties and laws passed. The NZF/Costello tobacco link. NZF and fishing industry. Property and virtually every RW party.

#NZPolice getting abuse isn't just because of McSkimming. There are also too many cases where they put money ahead of children's and teens' wellbeing. Because cops wouldn't pay for a helicopter, a girl spent hour on a cliff face near her dead friend. Traumatizing for her and family.

"A FENZ call log and emails from the night - obtained by RNZ - reveal police refused a chopper "because of the cost".
Government "efficiency" enthusiasts must be popping champagne bottles after hearing that they've "saved" public $ by not sending a rescue helicopter.

Hey @jennifilm.nz and @jofountain.bsky.social! Given that we are Selwynites, is there any chance we could meet up in person to discuss ways to grow our leftist community, spread awareness to bad things happening in AoNZ? Happy to take the discussion off of here too, if all parties are comfortable. 💗

Every single one of these hateful people is more of a monster than you could ever imagine. It's about control, power, and taking away people's bodily autonomy so they can commit sex crimes.
1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.
A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.
The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.
Our latest wild story.

So we can expect more austerity and continued exploitation of those on the front lines of the public research system (MSc and PhD scholars)?
It is now 4.5 years on since this OpEd calling for the end of austerity and proper funding of public research to increase prosperity in Aotearoa. 👇

Calling bare minimum, literally-your-one-job policy aspirational and unrealistic only serves to further embed and normalise inequity - and enhance the wealth of others.
It’s not aspirational to have affordable housing, food and power, and accessible health - it’s 101 governance.

This is such patronising bullshit. We’re not aspiring to “unrealistic” things like a three-day work week, a holiday house and a pony. We want kids fed, a health system, a role in life for everyone. Those things aren’t unrealistic, they’re a *choice* successive governments are making to deny us.

Of course, the lesson is unlearned if labour immediately repeals the fruits of their corrupt lobbying. But Hipkins is too much of a chickenshit to do that. Which means Labour is the silent partner in the enshittification of Aotearoa.
