Post a song from the year you turned 12:

Hey hey what's the matter with your head, yeah
Hey what's the matter with your mind and your sign and oh
Hey nothin' the matter with your head
Baby, find it, come on and find it
Bear with it, baby, 'cause you're fine
And you're mine, and you look so divine

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Trump and his shock troops are out of control.

This must end now.
Senator Padilla is forcibly shoved out of Kristi Noem's press briefing:

"I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary"

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz.

The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

Seymour's misogyny, & visible contempt for disinformation research(ers) - mirroring context under Trump regime in the US - signals that examining information manipulation threatens certain political narratives - a dangerous precedent for democratic accountability in Aotearoa.

Seymour characterises disinfo research as "a bit of a joke" that "cost taxpayer money". T/his dismissive language provided permission for commenters to escalate attacks. This is how grounded, institutional knowledge gets delegitimised, & women (academics) get silenced.

Imagine being a music fan but not wanting to see politics as part of it. Just means you're a sad racist.

Anyway, Don McGlashan has righfully got a lot of praise, but a big shout out to Stan Walker for making Bishop uncomfortable in the first place.

Toitū te Tiriti!

Didn't Nicola Willis swear up and down that she'd resign if the Nats had to borrow to make their numbers add up?

There needs to be legislation that makes lying this much by a politician (especially a senior minister like Willis) a punishable offence.
She didn’t tell a single truth in that 25 minutes.

The whole #USA Harvard situation is the death throes of critical thinking, democracy & intelligence itself. THEY WANT YOU DUMB, SILENT & COMPLIANT. That’s how they win. Stop letting them win.
This is a WARNING FOR AOTEAROA. This is what the RW want. It’s NEVER what prosperous societies NEED.

Hannah Maipi-Clarke: “...it was disorderly to bring in a bill like the Treaty Principles Bill.
The problem is not our response to the problem. The problem here is that there is no obligation and no responsibility for MPs in the house to uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi. That is the problem.”

I know that most of us realise that Seymour is an absolute cunt.

The fact that he's come from such a insidious and radical political school of thought should be far more of an issue than it is. The guy's going to be our Deputy Prime Minister FFS

That one of the most powerful people in the country, the deputy Prime Minister, is calling for a man who heckled him to lose his livelihood should be setting off more alarm bells than it is

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways.

I love all things scented. On me and around me.
Lotions, sprays, soaps, etc.
I would say my favorites would be lily of the valley, rose, amber, vanilla, gardenia.
But can’t understand why anyone would like patchouli.
A new question for #MWSecretSantaAoNZ to help out your Santa. I've seen we have a few players who cannot enjoy scents at all, and some whose illness leaves them no longer able to tolerate them. Perhaps you love certain scents and not others. Let Santa know so they can do right by you.
