So, after trashing a multilateral treaty that regulated Iran’s nuclear programme, killing vast numbers of people, expending billions in weapons, and undermining the economy of the entire world, #Trump lauds a “deal” where nuclear weapon development is not mentioned, and #Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz. What a moron. #uspol
It will be a monument to presidential incompetence and hubris. People will look at it and say, “never again”. #uspol https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/21/trump-arch-washington-dc?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Our coalition government's attitude to the poor, homeless and financially stressed is sickening in every sense of the word. #nzpol
The two page bill to "legally define man and woman" is available at the link below. The coalition government doth protest too much. Implicit in the bill is a mistaken assumption that human gender is strictly binary. The coalition then uses this mistaken assumption in order to attempt to usurp the rights of trans people. #nzpol https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.legislation.govt.nz/bill/members/2026/296/en/latest/&ved=2ahUKEwigtfGVuMmUAxXOiFYBHTzpKzcQFnoECBoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1mkbd4Z1ws0YJXRUv3zIO9
This is appalling overreach, particularly as our government’s climate change policies are failing. #nzpol #climatechange https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/environment_climate/594922/government-changes-climate-law-to-prevent-lawsuits

Jon Carmichael's "108" is probably my favorite #eclipse image and provokes introspection every time I see it.
#Trump & #Netanyahu deserve the opprobrium they have inflicted on each other. They should be held accountable by the world for the evil have perpetrated. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/09/tensions-emerge-bejamin-netanyahu-donald-trump-alliance?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

🇳🇿There are a bunch of folks trying to create 'low emission cows/bulls'... but they're missing the point, at least in Aotearoa: lowering greenhouse gas emissions won't fix the problem of the dairy industry ruining our land and water with nitrogen pollution. We need to halve the herd. There are neither shortcuts nor technological solutions. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/country/594290/outcome-of-research-into-low-emitting-bulls-disappointing
Te Weta 🏴☠️BREAKING NEWS: WAR OVER, WAR BEGINNING, DEAL CLOSE, TOO SOON TO TALK, SITUATION VERY MUCH UNDER CONTROL
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump confirmed Thursday that the United States is simultaneously winning, ending, pausing, resuming, and not having a war with Iran, describing the situation as "very much under control" before warning it could become "the biggest bombing anyone has ever seen."
