Any time it just happens to be the same area that was stolen during a war, people always tell me it's a coincidence.

The consequences of actions are a coincidence? That's convenient.

The Olive green areas are councils where citizens voted down Māori wards (the little blue blob in the middle is Kirikiriroa, which voted by a whisker to retain theirs).
Coincidentally those Olive green areas also pretty accurately represent land confiscated by the crown after the Waikato wars.

Just listened to an update from 2 UK surgeons. Three of them were booked to travel back into Gaza with a UN convoy on Sunday but Israel refused the Doctors reentry. They're also doctors who gave expert testimony at the UN about war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. Israel is being duplicitous.

A digital drawing of a seagull character working in a stand selling french fries. There are frie shaped lamps, ketchup, napkins, and the seagull is standing with his wings outstretched looking happy. On the sign above the stand it says "we love fries" followed by a heart.

What five events defined your childhood?

• The Challenger Explosion
• The Fall of the Berlin Wall
• The Gulf War
• The Oklahoma City Bombing
• The Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal

I have no memory of the Chernobyl disaster. But I remember the Challenger disaster from the same year.

Daily bunny no.3104 does not have a map
An intrepid bunny creeps through a labyrinth or dungeon, arranged in a grid like an old videogame. There is a snake and a skull in the bunny's path, as well as a spike pit. The bunny has a small sword.

Good luck.

Have fun.😱

We live in a Māori nation. Our Parliament should reflect that more. The haka from the public gallery is an appropriate response to a maiden speech. Suspended Parliament only reminds Māori that they are not welcome to be authentically themselves there. #nzpol

TikTok doesn’t want the platform being used for journalism - even thought users expect to access it there.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”
