The Government of New Zealand has made a new tourism ad and it's surprsingly honest and informative!

Following recent confusion, the glorious Trump administration has put together a helpful guide: preview.mailerlite.io/preview/4483...

A country where elected representatives are bullied out of office by threatening their children is not a democracy.

Being trans is a gender identity, not an ideology. Being a gun-toting, right wing fuckknuckle, however... well, THAT'S an ideology. You know, if you're out there looking for ideologies to blame for anything.

Protests banned.
Lies all day.

God this guy wrote a masterpiece.

Watched Revenge of the Sith with my son the other day and oh boy did George Lucas nail it twenty years ago. A New Hope was considered a commentary on the political climate of the time. Was the prequel trilogy instead looking forward to where we were heading?

The best riposte that I have heard thus far is that a bishop can move diagonally as far as possible, but a Russian pawn can only move one square at a time.
