So i got a ban from Twotter for suggesting Bibi be dragged on to the streets and dispatched like a dog after the latest abominatable actions from him. Would i get the same for suggesting the same of Khamenei or any other person? Is that an unreasonable position, considering the crimes?

In light of Fran O'Sullivan's latest bile (sorry OPINION COLUMN), here's some Fran highlights, because it's important to know the sort of people NZME have in senior positions: 1) She doesn't believe Labour won the 2017 election.
Tweet: Fran O'Sullivan @FranOSullivan • 13 Sep 2023 Ludicrous claims Jacinda Ardern led Labour to victory in 2017. The Bill English-led National party won 44.4% of the vote. Arden's Labour party won 36.9%. What Ardern won was the post-election auction NZF's Winston Peters conducted - a decision he has since publicy regretted, Second tweet: Replying to @SiouxsieW It's called democracy, try it.

Seven NZ econ/finance myths that need busting #NZpol...
Myth 1: The NZ Govt is in a worrisome level of debt 😱
Govt is not even in 'net debt'. Govt has *debts* but they are more than outweighed by *financial assets* (shares, equity, outstanding loans etc) [🧵1/n]
Graph shows central govt net financial worth including shares equity, govt bonds etc. Govt net financial worth has been around $70bn (2023 prices) for the last 20 years with just a brief dip down to $20bn in 2013.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Atlas Network? Yawn.
One of the most compelling articles I’ve read about Atlas Network is from The Guardian columnist George Monbiot.

1. Much has been said about the significant impacts of the Treaty Principles Bill (TPB) on te Tiriti and Māori rights. Far less is known about its unrecognised effects on all New Zealanders, which extend well beyond the Treaty…

I just listened to Kim Hills talk with Boris Johnson. He is a typical waffling Tory moron and that's where Luxon went to get ideas. How anyone thinks this lying grifting f*^kwit would do anything for anyone other than himself is clearly gullible, when he should be trebucheted into the North Sea.

Richie Poulton, director of the world-acclaimed #DunedinStudy, has died. I visited earlier this year to talk to him about the study's latest findings; his work was dedicated to research on how childhood experiences shape us in adulthood theconversation.com/vaccine-resi...
Vaccine resistance has its roots in negative childhood experiences, a major study finds
The extraordinary Dunedin longitudinal study shows vaccine resistance can be laid down before high school age in response to childhood trauma or neglect. But better early education could help.

Here is the guy that is giving Seymour free use of his plane and what he thought before the last US election.

Anyone see anything wrong with his statement?

Does anyone have that meme with the 'Axis of evil' (Nats/ACT/NZF) with 'Reward the rich, punish the poor, and blame others' as the slogan for each? Saw it this morning and can't find it again.
