I think Seymour’s greater impact is on the Māori wards. Destructive racist shit that he is.

Oriini Kaipara said in her maiden speech today in parliament:
“When I stand in this House, I do so not as a survivor of colonisation who made it in a Pākehā system, but as the product of Māori resistance."
Wait Oriini, you forgot you also stand there as a benificiary of colonisation, which gave you the Pakeha system to learn to read and write, and study, and have a career, and earn money, and pursue your ambiitions, and enter parliament.
Learn some bloody respect and gratitude FFS.

I don't even have a single picogram of sympathy for Vivek.

He jumped into bed with nazis and the second they no longer had any use for him they went "The fuck? You think you're one of us? you're BROWN!"

When will the climate change coastal property bubble pop? A significant acceleration in coastal flooding from a lunar orbit shift (mid-2030s) will significantly stress the market. My 2024 post: "When will climate change turn life in the U.S. upside down?"
