This makes it really easy to let your local MP know you want them to stand up for Palestine. Let’s show our government what we really want them to stand for!

You can sign an open letter to your MP about the genocide in Gaza from here:

Always remember that more people are not fascists than are fascists but fascists are very loud and insistent and are good at grabbing media

I appreciate you're in a difficult position here with party politics, but I think people really really need to hear "Labour will remove this abhorant political interference as soon as we are in power" to be able to believe that everyone in Labour actually means it

This is a big signal that Nvidia's cash flow is becoming a tangible problem.

Remember when Elon Musk stopped paying Google Cloud bills so he could keep the electricity on at Twitter?

Cutting non-critical expenses when cash gets tight, even if it makes operations harder, is the Death Spiral.

Just a reminder that my not-a-Black-Friday catnip sale ends on Sunday night. There will be no "Cyber Monday" discounts.

I've got a special offer on the site for #SecretSantaAoNZ, and that runs until Dec 4.

They make great gifts for cat people, and your cats!

The actual fuck?! 🤨 #nzpol #OneTetmGovernment
My nephew is dyslexic and his high school offers an alternative learning track for students like him.
My sister called the school yesterday to confirm she'd like him enrolled in that programme and was told it might not be available next year because the new curriculum doesn't include it. 😱😱

Whoah!
Hamilton Boys High came through.
Kirikiriroa's equivalent of AKL Grammar/Chch Boys etc.
Surprising and welcome.
Times have definitely moved on - this certainly wouldn't have happened during Hassall's reign.

This useless racist Govt is being absolutely CANED on this.

Govt committee that has 6 NACTFirst members and 5 opposition parties members votes in favour of law that advantages NACTFirst despite vast majority of public submissions being against it.

They aren't even subtle
This Bill could invalidate the votes of enough people to swing the next election in favour of the current government for no reason other than that they failed to fill out the correct piece of paper by the "proper" time (as defined by the people who benefit from the rule change).
Justice Committee recommends passing Electoral Amendment Bill with some amendments
The bill would prevent same-day enrolments, ban prisoners from voting, and tighten up the rules around treating.

Whenever NZers have an option to say publicly that they don't believe in what this government is doing to Māori, there are more on the side of right than the side of wrong
- more people voted for Māori wards than against them
- more schools decided to give effect to Te Tiriti than did not

A tip for folks who use kobo to buy ebooks (at least the UK & US stores: until the end of the week, they're having a "buy 50 dollars/quid of gift cards & we'll give you a $10 credit" promotion... and they don't stop you sending the gift card to yourself.

Effectively 20% off 50 bucks of books.

Baggy-blues are the wages of our ongoing public health refusal to undertake a robust public education campaign to teach people that #CovidIsAirborne, and #FluIsAirborne, and #RSVisAirborne, and to #WearARespirator to breathe #VirusFreeAir.

Another mask story.

A family boarded the flight, and as soon as they saw my mask they pulled their masks out and put them on.

Now mine was a respie of course… and they were using whatever they had, upon which I’m gonna chose not to pass judgement…

I left the Ministry of education because it wrecked my mental health being instructed to do things that were morally wrong. How are these people sleeping? Do the managers in our govt organizations get their souls removed?
