Howaboutthat!

@HobsonsPledgeNZ We were lied to before the election and they (National) continue to lie today.

This is why we have co-governance all through local government. They ignore referenda and Govt mandate but treat strategic plans as gospel (when it suits them). Otago Regional Councillor Alan Somerville voted to give unelected iwi members voting rights on ICM Governance Board.

@LaurieFleming @lily20087360 @NewZealandMFA One line from a book. The book is the big picture.. one line is just one line of it.

@2the4winds @lily20087360 @NewZealandMFA What’s your point?

The Minister will travel to Washington D.C. this week.    🇺🇸 🤝 🇳🇿 Press release ⬇️ beehive.govt.nz/release/foreig…

@NewZealandMFA I know you will say howdy for all the conservatives voices in NZ.

@LaurieFleming @lily20087360 @NewZealandMFA You do know it’s a book not just one line.

@lily20087360 @NewZealandMFA Read the bible? You shall not kill. It’s right fucking there.

@TallumAngel @MaxSky44342795 @NewZealandMFA But how do you really feel

@MaxSky44342795 @NewZealandMFA You POS scum bag khunt fukoff outta NZ we are a British colony coming under their protection

@berningman16 Are they.. well I never.

Are Americans the most gullible, easily propagandized population on the planet?

@MrImranPk Not so unless you’re a terrorist.

Do Americans even realize their president is basically the most hated guy on the planet right now?

@FurkanGozukara What will she be doing when the UN goes broke.

Absolute bombshell. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese confirms Israel is actively executing the Greater Israel Project while the world is distracted. She exposes the ongoing Gaza genocide as just one brick in a massive system of apartheid that will not stop on its own.

@Schwalm5132 It’s sad that you need to ask.

European Countries: "Why would you throw away $300 Million in equipment to save one pilot?" America:

@ClimateWarrior7 It was during a rapid climate change event.. they had heated lunch over an open fire adding carbon to the air rapidly raising the local temperature and sucking water from the sea. The sudden drop made it look like treading on water but it was the seabed.. there.. science.

Jesus did NOT walk on water. This has been debunked. The human body, being almost as dense as water, sinks up to the head when placed feet-first in water. #science

@sahouraxo Anyone else notice the secondaries.

BREAKING. Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Naqoura, South Lebanon right now. Civilian homes. No military target. No justification. Just pure terror and destruction. This is a war crime in broad daylight. And the world watches in silence.

@acteduweininger Ouch.

I would fuck the shit out of her.

@nzfirst Let’s make this a great year for NZF

May the blessings of Easter fill your life with peace, joy, and renewed hope.

@The_Real_ITDUDE It didn’t

I’m confused, how did US lose all these planes in ONE day to a military that’s 100% destroyed?!

@Eng_china5 When the Iranian people take back their country from the mullah oppressors, this place will be rebuilt as a reminder.

The United States threatened to return Iran to the Stone Age. Therefore, the Golestan Palace in Tehran was bombed. The palace is a 400-year-old historical site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

@aniobrien Social media is in its growing phase.. I think we’re in early puberty right now so the ability to learn and develop depends on how out of whack the ‘hormones’ are.

It’s probably become pretty clear that I haven’t been coping all that well lately with the level of abuse, nastiness, & outright lies I’m getting online, particularly on X. I’ve always enjoyed robust debate. I actually like disagreement. I like people who can challenge ideas, argue properly, & bring something intelligent to the table. But I’m not getting much of that anymore. I’m getting is people lying about me, attacking me personally, & lashing out instead of engaging with anything I actually say. I share ideas & political commentary. I criticise public figures & politicians. But I don’t go after random individuals. And despite what some seem to think, I’m not a politician. I’m a person who happens to have built a following over time. I’ve been dealing with this for more than a decade. You’d think by now it would all be water off a duck’s back. But I’m struggling. Maybe it’s hormones or where I’m at mentally or just the sheer volume & relentlessness of it all. Whatever it is, I’m not handling it well. I’ve found myself responding in kind. Snapping back. Telling people to go fuck themselves. And feeling vulnerable & looking around for others to defend me. I really don’t like that version of myself. I don’t want to be reactive, bitter, or constantly on edge. Or to be dragged into endless, pointless conflict. So something has to change. I’m not leaving X. I enjoy parts of this platform & I value being able to share my writing & ideas here. But from now on, I will be blocking people much more quickly. Before anyone jumps in with the usual “but free speech” stuff, people are free to say what they want. That doesn’t mean I’m obligated to read it, engage with it, or give it oxygen. You are not entitled to my attention. I’ll also be taking action where behaviour crosses into harassment or threats. And I just have to stop engaging with trolls. I will still screenshot some of the abuse and share it on my thread because I do think people should see how some individuals (men in particular, if we’re being honest) behave online. But I’m not going to waste energy fighting with them. I don’t want to spend my time arguing with people who aren’t interested in ideas, only in saying horrible things to me.right now, I’m just tired. If you want to engage in good faith…argue, disagree, challenge, I’m here for that. If you want to lie, abuse, or act like a coward behind a screen, leave me alone.
