Reading this story really does prove the theory that racists are just really fucking dumb. Being a billionaire also does not make you smart.
I spent three days in the Auckland District Court watching the weirdest trial of the year.
Billionaires, secrets, conspiracy theories, denials of racism, contempt of court and twists at every turn. This case had it all.

Every single news (adjacent) story about an "amazing" property that has come on the market is always - greige, greige, white, white, eggshell, greige. It is so depressing how people hate colour

Luxon loves to talk like a CEO but the board would have him and the CFO hand in their resignation for poor leadership and financial management.

Maybe being anti-trans is just .... cursed 🤷♀️
1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.
A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.
The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.
Our latest wild story.

I would also like to add to this that when women are extremely stressed and/or hungry - an unsafe home life, poverty, homelessness etc - women are unable to provide a consistent supply of breastmilk - babies starve.
Some of you may be like “what about people who can’t breastfeed or babies who can’t latch” and the answer is that he wants your babies to die

Dates now on the record: Police Minister Mark Mitchell was told of a McSkimming complaint on Oct 14 - three weeks before the date he’s given publicly as when he first heard of concerns.
Timeline shows Minister knew of McSkimming complaint three weeks earlier than he has said
The police minister was alerted to an IPCA complaint about Jevon McSkimming on October 14. He’s publicly stated he wasn’t told until November 6
