Does anyone more familiar with the NZ twitter cooker scene know what the deal is with the "spider" thing? Clearly some sort of in-group label, but what's the relevance?

Of course you have the usual characters in the comments who railed against Labour's "authoritarianism" supporting the coalition overruling local democracy

🧵My Listener column on Simeon Brown's rule-change on road speed limits. It increases speed limits on most roads, reverts any limits enacted since 2020 and, crucially, forbids councils ever reduce any of them, even at the request of their own voters. nzherald.co.nz/the-listener/…

Opinion: Simeon Brown wants vehicles going as fast as possible at all times

Russell Brown: The lightning speed reversal over speed limit reductions.

Who are these 4% of under 35s voting for NZ First, and what planet are they on?

#BREAKING The Prime Minister has just ruled out a wealth tax; full stop. Inequality has never been worse & the solutions have never been clearer. The time for inaction & tinkering is over; the time for political courage is now, the only option this year is the Green Party.

"while respecting each other's right to their own view" - - you do not, in fact, have to respect hate speech. Bowing to the rabid transphobes, after such a strong statement of solidarity with Shaneel, is pathetic. You were right the first time.

I know rainbow capitalism can be bullshit, but it does at least show the bigots how out of touch they are with the mainstream.

Weird to suddenly see your deformity being discussed across Twitter because one of the worst people on the internet has it too and it may have factored into their marital drama

My take: Pectus Excavatum has a range of severity, it can have minimal to serious health impacts. In my case it has minimal impact and correction would be mostly cosmetic. I don't know where Crowder sat, it seems like it was having at least some heart impact.

So maybe it was cosmetic, maybe not. Was it gender affirming? I feel like if it was then all cosmetic surgery would fall under GAC, and I'm not sure if that's the definition as I understand it. Pectoral implants maybe, but correcting a deformity seems like returning to typical

The Republican Party of Montana is refusing to allow me—a transgender Representative—to speak on any bill. This is fundamentally undemocratic. My light is on, and I am ready to speak on behalf of the constituents who elected me to do so.

The protest that overwhelmed a rally for anti-trans rights activist Posie Parker in Auckland last weekend was described as out-of-control and violent in some accounts. Two reporters on the ground tell Mediawatch that does not reflect what they saw.​ rnz.co.nz/national/programme…
