"Last year was the hottest on record for Earth’s oceans — again. A new study found that the ocean absorbed an additional 23 zettajoules of heat in 2025. That’s the highest amount ever recorded, and marks the 9th year in a row that ocean heat content hit a new high"

Why is MSD hiring people who would select that reason for declining funding for food and not realise it was wrong?
Ministry apologises after beneficiary told food ‘not an essential need’
The application was declined in error, but one advocate says a 'tightening' of government hardship grants has seen more people turn to food banks.

No xxxx company, I do not want to form a fucking relationship with you.
I simply want to buy cheaper than the usual extortionate price and I want silence between transactions.

Its just weird seeing the passivity of our govt. These a major worldwide changes that impact nz - the govt actions over the past year have gone against our interests. Particularly Palestine and now failing to align with those nations that hold similar values (Canada, aus and the EU)

RT if you’ve never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

I honestly don’t even know is it an app, a website? Do you need a log in or something???

Also, has anyone ever in the history of humanity used Copilot?

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up.

Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

If you want a change of government, you’re going to have to donate, even $2 a month, because National, ACT and NZ First are backed by the rich who will spend to keep out a fair and just Government - as they did last election.

This was one of my favourite dogs, Toby, a half-golden retriever half-something-amiable pup that we rescued from a very bad pet shop. We only had him six months because he was too much for our family at that time: needed hours of exercise daily.
A dog expert loved him + he went to the country💚

Listen up AotearoaNZ
A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."
