@FlyAirNZ I wish you’d include at least one simple, familiar menu option alongside the more gourmet choices. Not everyone enjoys ingredients like fish, mushrooms, olives, fennel, or kawakawa. Something basic such as a ham & cheese toastie, spaghetti bolognese, hotdog, chicken and

chips, or a simple pasta dish would make the menu more accessible for picky eaters and families. Sometimes simple comfort food is exactly what people want when flying. It’s a common discussion point among frequent fliers how hit and miss food options are for AirNZ

Ben-Gvir on new law mandating death by hanging for Palestinians: "I've already taken everything from them. Now I want their lives" Meanwhile Israel has not prosecuted any of its citizens since 2020 for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank This is true picture of the Israeli occupation. Israelis are above accountability. Palestinians are below human

I have not seen a single mainstream media outlet give this the attention it deserves. Israel blew up an entire Lebanese town, an ancient place. It should be headline news. There’s footage of it happening. Imagine this was your town, and you saw every building blown up by a terrorist army to prevent you from ever returning. You would at the very least expect wall to wall coverage. Instead it passes without a word. It’s not the only town Israel has blown up. And sadly it probably won’t be the last.
My beautiful village Naqoura, destroyed by Israeli occupation forces.

@dbseymour This is the kind of rhetoric coming from the President of the United States right now. Talking about an entire civilisation “dying tonight” and regime change. This isn’t normal, and it shouldn’t be ignored. The world is escalating fast, and there are serious legal

Well @s_m_marandi absolutely perfectly sums up the situation expertly in response to Trump’s demented reckless Easter Sunday post Things are tremendously dangerous because @realDonaldTrump is completely out of control and willing to do anything to usher in the third temple and his Messiah (the anti christ) and cover up his Epstein files “This is a psychopath. And you can only imagine what they have on him—what kind of leverage or dirt they hold. But Iran is not going to back down. When those 10 days are over, if he begins to annihilate Iran’s key infrastructure, then everything in the Persian Gulf region will be annihilated. That will be the end of Kuwait. That will be the end of Qatar. It will be the end of Saudi Arabia. It will be the end of Bahrain. And it will be the end of the United Arab Emirates. It will be over. Everyone will have to leave immediately and cross the desert. And by the way, we are in spring—the heat will rise quickly. The weather will become extremely hot. You’ve lived in that region—you understand how it is. In the Persian Gulf, everything depends on electricity. Without electricity, those regimes collapse immediately. And with that, everything tied to the U.S. presence in West Asia collapses overnight. Of course, the Iraqis will act, and Yemen will act. So if they go for all-out war, the Iranians will respond with all-out war, along with the Axis of Resistance. And who will be the biggest losers? Zionism. Trump. Netanyahu. Because the world will see who destroyed their world. Even in India, those who foolishly supported Netanyahu and Zionism—despite being viewed as inferior by them—will come to realize that it was Netanyahu and the Zionists who destroyed their lives. The world will see everything for what it is. So when the 10 days are over, he can do what he wants. But Iran will finish the job. We are determined to end this war—this aggression that has been directed against our country since 1953—once and for all. I think the key point, when discussing the Strait of Hormuz, is: what role would the United States actually play? They are not prepared to fight Iran directly in the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, they have been trying to encourage or pressure Europeans to take on that role. As we speak, European countries are in contact. They are trying to engage diplomatically with Iran. For example, just before this broadcast, Austria’s foreign minister said she had been speaking with Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, about facilitating tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the reality: anyone seeking a solution must speak with Iran. No one else controls the Strait of Hormuz. That is exactly the point—the so-called “mafia don” is no longer in charge. They must deal with Iran. You saw this shift at the UN Security Council—France changed its position. They understand where the real power lies. Even if they joined the United States in the Strait of Hormuz, they would not change the outcome. They would only make things worse for themselves and for the world. The Strait of Hormuz is under Iran’s control, and going forward, it will remain under Iran’s control—potentially in coordination with Oman, if they choose to cooperate. But Iran will control the Strait of Hormuz. That is the reality now, whether the Americans or Europeans accept it or not. And the Europeans are beginning to recognize this. Trump, meanwhile, behaves like a five-year-old child—a psychopath throwing constant temper tantrums because things are not going his way. He’ll break his toys, your toys, everyone’s toys. And this is the person leading the United States. The political class around him is not much different—he is just more crude. The fact that European ships are now passing through safely reflects this shift. France changed its position. If Europeans want access to the Persian Gulf, they will have to change their mindset and their policies.”

JD Vance, you and Trump are where the truth goes to die. You are deliberately trying to mislead the police. Here's a slow motion video of the killing (I can't recall who made it). As can be seen the agent who fired the shots was in no danger, and was firing from the side of the vehicle. It was murder.

Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years. This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption. Thread

@briancheeky are you aware of what is happening @Airbnb ; I included you and @dereknolan in the email to your media team. @Airbnb has introduced road blocks to send hosts in loops hoping they give up from fatigue. Tickets are closed and cannot be reopened, staff lie (audio)

(Audio recordings available) and will be published to media in the coming weeks, but I did include 3 or 4 recordings in my emails to your team. The team call at 1am-5am and have done so on about 9 occasions in 2 weeks even after assurances it wouldn’t happen again.

It seems cost cutting and revenue generation at all costs for short term gain is the drive, even at the expense of your superhosts of 9 years. This isn’t isolated, we even see a 70% shift in bookings going to booking.com . Time to listen to your partners!!??

@elonmusk don’t get me wrong, love my @Tesla cars but after 6 years I’m confused why you favor a head on collision hugging the center line over keeping left on cornering on RHD. Not sure if this happens on LHD or maybe someone forgot the toggle for RHD market that we are oposit

Maybe a setting like mad max but I’m feeling lucky hug center line (cut corners) Or Safety dad, hug outside lane
