The British government made a 27 point plan based on 29 kids.
Jesus fucking Christ.
All for Israel.
If you think Elon Musk’s flying car (that isn’t a car and can’t fly) is engineering genius, just wait until you hear about the car Doc Brown made over 40 years ago.
All time hall of fame for tweets that aged poorly.
Congratulations to Pepperdine alumna @KatieZacharia on her appointment as White House press secretary! A graduate of Seaver College and @PeppLaw, Katie exemplifies Pepperdine's commitment to preparing students for exceptional lives of purpose, service, and leadership. We wish her every success in this important role. Go Waves! 🌊

One cannot take an American state bar exam in China. Bar exams are administered at designated testing locations in each state of the union.
Are Katie Zacharia and trump lying when they say she is an attorney?
If not, then she needs to disclose in what state she passed the bar.
I would like someone in @nzlabour to explain why they decided in the last three years that the rest of New Zealand should continue subsiding big agribusinesses’ climate pollution indefinitely…

Impossible to invent something as absurd as the Minister for Cracking Down On Truancy And School Lunches not knowing it is the school holidays

It shouldn't be a controversial opinion for a Labour Party to leader to say that the existing of billionaires is a gross moral failure.
How is it that the leader of @nzlabour can speak with more moral clarity about parents taking kids on holiday during school time than about billionaires?
Chris Luxon really pulling out the relatable examples for ordinary New Zealanders like ... a snow factory at Coronet Peak?
It is hilarious that Todd McClay fairly obviously confused Fernando Hernandez Espino of Both Ends with Francisco Hernandez of the Greens but neither he nor Luxon will admit it. rnz.co.nz/news/politics/1685…

It's wild that people convince themselves there's a conspiracy to overplay the risks of the climate crisis when it's actually the exact opposite.
The UK’s spy chiefs examined the impacts of the collapse of overseas ecosystems, under pressure of climate crisis and biodiversity loss, on UK’s national security.
Their findings?
“Apocalyptic.”
UK defence and society at risk, impacts within 5 years.

It's no shock that a European civil society organisation has filed a complaint about the New Zealand government's breach of the #climate provisions in its free trade deal with the EU, nor that legal academics, NGOs, and Māori activists backed it. newsroom.co.nz/2026/09/30/fo…
It is, however, surprising to see credible journalists uncritically republishing ministers' bad faith attacks on New Zealand civil society organisations.
Instead of accepting responsibility for breaking their trade deal with the EU, ministers are choosing to blame critics.

Sam Altman is warning the world about Sam Altman, and says we need to stop Sam Altman because Sam Altman can’t stop Sam Altman.
