The crowdfund for a podcast investigating how the idea of quitting the Paris climate accords went from fringe to mainstream is getting closer and closer to the goal. If 25 more people pledge $5 we'll be three quarters of the way there

people who are money-smart: if I sold cleaning/organising vouchers for the express purpose of raising funds for surgery, would that qualify as tax evasion? in New Zealand

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

The people who founded this country mentioned both Muslims and Hindus explicitly.

Vivek is a dipshit. But he's a dipshit who has every right to be here no matter what a bunch of baby Nazis think.

Maybe he'll learn from this. Or maybe he remains a dipshit. But you too can grow, Vivek.

Attn Aotearoa NZ

After that disappointing local election result...

How about we show more love to @nzgreenparty.bsky.social and @tepaatimaori.bsky.social ?

And start working on making next year's general election a proper showing? For the majority of us, not just the rich and the venal?

Is that a good price for crap?

One crate is labeled “50c Crap” and another “$1 – All Styles.” A sign below reads “RECORD MAN – Records Bought & Sold – Here at Riccarton Market since day one,” along with a phone number. The surrounding area shows other market stalls and shoppers.

Right now, the most radical thing you can do is survive.

Keep waking up. Keep moving. Keep walking.

There will be an end to this. It may take a spell. But have you lived through 3-5 economic collapses to fold now?

No. No you didn't. Get some rest. Reconvene tomorrow. Keep living. It's radical.

I just... Don't know what I'm doing anymore. At all.

Shit's hard.

I know it is for a lot of people, but... I don't know.

I just want to do more things I'm actually good at, and fewer things I suck at.

But life just isn't set up that way right now, and I don't know when it will be.

Centrist: 2 councilors
