And yet @NZStuff linked TikToks into early stories showing vehicles regos etc. Hope no one found out via voyeurs. Worth an @MediawatchNZ broader discussion?

Dear American University Students…
You have every single American politician and mainstream media outlet in absolute meltdown…
They care more about your actions in standing in solidarity with Palestinians…
Then the actions of Israel bombing hospitals, universities, refugee camps, WCK workers and children…
You are fkn AMAZING…
Kind Regards… THE WORLD…🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Out of curiosity, when was the last time massive student protests turned out to be on the wrong side of history, and the state using police violence against them turned out to be right?
So is @iamjohnoliver going to pick up the NZ ram of death story or the feijoa, the socialist fruit story? As a lifetime feijoa lover who watched my father almost get head butted to unconsciousness by a ram, I'm torn.

Been at prison to visit my cousin this morning and we were the only visitors there. Maybe 'tough on crime' could mean people showing up for each other.

Blink 182 saying “fuck Christchurch” when they’ve been through horrific tragedies and have a massive fan base down who were frothing for their show there is beyond average.

This is calculated disinformation. Ignores fundamental difference between equity and equality. Designed to inflame ignorance.
Every child growing up in New Zealand deserves the same respect and dignity, no matter who their ancestors were. That's what the Treaty Principles Bill is about.

There’s a cost of living crisis, Govt depts have been asked to cut budgets by 6.5%, but we’ve managed to scratch together enough coin to bomb the poorest country in the world so Israel can keep slaughtering Gazan children. Is NZ back on track yet?

Beyond awful. How terribly, terribly sad.
Bidding farewell to his third child in around two months.. Aljazeera correspondent Wael al-Dahdouh lost his eldest son Hamza in an Israeli airstrike today.
In October, he lost his wife and 2 other children in the ongoing Israeli attacks. teapawt.net/KhaledSafi/status/1743…
Would we have been left with two Deputies if Luxon hadn't offended Winston so badly with the initial proposal? The last few weeks smacked of revenge negotiations from Winston. #nzpol

Even my right- wing colleagues are cringing about the co-Deputies, and I quote, 'mortifying on the intl stage that they both needed a certificate of participation.' #nzpol

This reminds me of the time as a poli journo when a bit slizzy, I told Winston my FIL had a kunekune pig named after him cos he was such a boar.
Good times.

While my sister is currently working in Afghanistan, I'm thinking about how the US response to 9/11 cost trillions of dollars, thousands of lives and 20 years on, achieved nothing. Take a breath Israel, take a breath.

Christ. The Voice vote got destroyed too. Bad day for many of us who believe in making it better for those who need it most.
Pilot on my @AirNZMedia just told us to 'hush now, sit back and relax.'
School holidays been rough eh?
