Like clockwork.

Snickers, get off the cat!

Cat? What cat?

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Former MP Jackie Blue quits National to join Opportunity party Jackie Blue says she can't stay by what the government has done to low-paid workers.

She said workers were "belittled and mocked" during MPs' debate on pay pay equity changes.

"Some MPs refused to meet affected workers in their own electorates. Procedure was weaponised against the very people Parliament exists to protect."

Former MP Jackie Blue quits National to join Opportunity party Jackie Blue says she can't stay by what the government has done to low-paid workers.

The history of the world in one cartoon…

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Donald Trump's Iranian missile claim unsupported by US intelligence, say sources Three sources familiar with the reports says his claims are exaggerated, casting doubt on part of his case for a possible attack on the Islamic Republic.

Cartoon. title: “Behind Every Number” Eight frames. In each frame, except the last one, is a child holding up a number. Numbers 1-6 have smiling, laughing children. Number seven has a sad child with the number 7 forming part of a banned symbol over their face. The last frame says, “One in seven NZ kids live in hardship. Up 47,500 since ‘22”

Behind every number. Since 2022 the number of New Zealand children living in hardship has increased by 47,500. Seems like that’s by design.
