anyone who knows a cop knows that even the leftist critique of police is too good faith for them

wasn't it also her constituents concerns that she was raising... so they were belittling the literal community she represents not just her

This! Plus we need to put every climate criminal in prison

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Doctor Who wiki diving is a great way to pick up information nobody should ever know

man i miss dumbass nz lit twitter the discourse and the discourse about the discourse it was all so fucking stupid and beautiful

George Lucas says AI will make it 'much easier to make movies' • Says rejecting it is like rejecting cars in favor of horses • AI has risks, but he believes the tech will provide its own solutions "There’s nothing you can do about it ... That’s progress, it’s the future" (via A Rabbit's Foot)

been cultivating a completely heathen crush on Hannah Einbinder in the lead up to Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma so excuse me if i make bad noises in the cinema in August

sam neill was one of my early celeb crushes when he played merlin in that tv movie 😭 rest in peace sam 💚

writers should only want to fuck each other but never actually date, kaveh akbar and paige lewis have taken that privileged spot already

nzers looking at rancid old politicians carking it like

Like these two statements are so contradictory that I think the first one is misleading. My point is if we want officials to read submissions - & we should - we need to be very clear that AI analysis is not and cannot be a proxy for that. At least in terms of dignifying submitters with attention.

i want sexless media cos im the most boring motherfucker in history

Ricky Fontaine@officialblee.blacksky.app · last mo.

I cringe at sex scenes in movies. I have never watched a sex scene that was actually imperative to the story. It always makes me feel like the producer is working out some sort of fetish.

it's beyond the pale at this point the way that NZ media and journos promote and amplify the more palatable ACT and NZF propaganda to increase their vote share, while both parties have become absolutely rabid when talking directly to their own supporters - particularly on race and gender

PSA because I see this mistake a lot. If person A quote posts person B, and then person B blocks person A (or vice versa), it will then say "Blocked" for every single other person on Bluesky. It DOES NOT necessarily mean that the person being quoted has blocked you, or that you block them.

why flaps on a paperback? seriously asking

it should surprise absolutely no one that the first trillionaire is a white supremacist. capitalism and white supremacy are inextricably linked, and we cannot dismantle one without dismantling the other.

Just once, for a treat, I'd like someone to say "government spending is good actually. It has social *and* economic benefits and we should do more of it." #nzpol

Ganesh Rajaram Ahirao@ganeshahirao.bsky.social · 2mo ago

#nzpol Sigh😢💔 Here we go again - monotonous regularity every election period - claims & counter-claims of spending gaps of $bns on 'promises'. *All* parties perpetuating the same insidious narrative ... "we can't 'afford' to feed or house our people" ... but our 'books' are our priority ... 😠😡

what are like some of the worst books that have the best titles, Atlas Shrugged would be up there for me

Kiwis overseas 🚨 I don't think there was any announcement about this but you wont be able to vote this time unless you've been home in the last 3 years. Your name may also have been removed from the roll. Check your eligibility #nzpol #kikorangi vote.nz/enrolling/ge...

Legit the NZ press gallery constantly whining about this last election gave cover to this government to very likely disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters (via making it harder to register late). But I'm sure being able to make a call on the night (you still won't be able to) is more important.

this fucking image is so stupid but it kills me

didnt think i could hate israel and the US empire more but having a baby now it's so clear in such a visceral way what they have taken from thousands of families
