Christopher Luxon, such a Good Bloke that he's prepared to sit on slightly damp ground to look good to the people who are mourning because a climate-related disaster that his govt can't be fucked to address.

It’s time for the world to boycott the US. If you send your team to the World Cup you agree with all that Trump is doing.

The World Cup in the US must be boycotted by foreign nations. Outside financial pressure is the only thing the thugs in suits (as opposed to the thugs in camo) will respond to.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Perennial good advice
If you ever wonder "Should I rewatch The Lair of the White Worm right now?" the answer is yes.
And if you're ever unsure what to do, the answer is to ask yourself the question above.
