I see why people were doing reintroductions now.
I am an ADHD/Autism self-advocate and researcher. I skeet these things sporadically ADHD/Autism/AuDHD science, local Aotearoa (NZ) politics, my own personal experiences with AuDHD.
I also skeet a lot of shitposts, and reskeet cool art I love.

If my country's government was mudering citizens with no repercussions. I would not go to work until that stopped happening, because there is no point of return past this.

The more I think about this, the more infuriated it makes me. It completely denies our history in global politics. New Zealand punched well above it's weight in the foundation of the UN.

One of the easiest ways to frustrate me is to provide technology that doesn’t work according to it’s instructions.
That I think is the fundamental reason AI will never appeal to me.
It doesn’t do what it is supposed to do much of the time.

I think our ties to specific nations based on current political parties pandering should be a bigger feature of our election cycle.
Because JuCo cozying up to DHS Fascist Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth, as well as the utter silence on USA shows where the current government affiliation lies.

Wild that there was no Christmas bump in spending. We are not doing well economically as a nation.
Brutal data day continues. Twenty-twenty-sux here we come. This is card spending. Remember, we live in a consumer economy. No spendy, no jobby.

The male loneliness epidemic and dealing with young men experiencing it, who don't want to be lonely and are not assholes, but are alone because there's no easy way to find other people to connect with due to a lack of anywhere to do that is a shit thing. Don't know what else to say.

the thing is, universal human rights are only universal if they include everyone, even the groups of people society has decided are less important (children, prisoners, people with names you can't pronounce, homeless people, the unemployed, disabled people who don't make good inspiration porn, etc)

Getting rid of those 'back office' staff for savings, and taking an axe to the IT departments was among one of the most obviously going to backfire solutions they had to 'cutting the deficit' (that they created by giving tax cuts to landlords).
'Ongoing technology issues, including the axing or deferral of more than 100 IT projects, delays to roll outs and the outages were "not a good advertisement for New Zealand being a great place to work" amid a globally competitive health care market' - Sarah Dalton, ASMS union.
Health NZ confirms another major tech outage
A union says crumbling systems put staff and patients at risk, however, Health NZ disagrees.

Trying to think of another time that citizens of a nation rounded up the "wrong" type of people for mass deportation/exclusion/imprisonment, and then it started to rapidly include those who oppose the regime.
