Day of shame for #NZ. In late timeslot towards end of high-level segment of UN General Assembly, Foreign Minister reveals what Cabinet decided 11 days ago: that unlike many others with whom #NZ normally is likeminded, Govt will not recognise #Palestine. Incomprehensible.

I’m still on hold 😭

[Alex @aselles]

@ato_gov_au I’ve been on hold for 45 minutes and told I’m next in queue for 30 minutes. Is anyone working in your call centre today?

@JoeyMannarinoUS @MenchOsint If you ever wanted to know what side someone would have fallen during ww2… here’s a very public answer…

[Christopher Luxon @chrisluxonmp]

New Zealand remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine as it defends itself in a war that Russia started.

It's mounting the defence of a proud, democratic and sovereign nation, but also the defence of international law.

Jon Stewart’s 2-minute history lesson here is worth everyone’s time before we start confidently breaking out our theories of what happened

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

We have freedom of speech in the UK; it's written into our law in the 1998 Human Rigts Act. But rights come with responsibilities (I appreciate that's a concept you're not familiar with); there's a requirement not to incite criminality or spread hatred online. We find society works better that way.

I’ve been using the same word first in Wordle for over 6 months, and it finally happened today!

@trussliz @CPAC This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. There’s no coherency or logic between points

[Alex @aselles]

@LozzaFox You got less votes than @CountBinface for London mayor. You and your hate filled views are the minority. Please disappear…

My first hill climb race with @UrbanHillClimb on Swains Lane. Who knew so much enjoyment could come from so much pain 🥵😅

[Alex @aselles]

@winstonpeters Accusing someone else of underhanded politics while casually leaning on bigoted culture wars that won’t make the lives of New Zealanders better…

🎙️ Had an absolute blast sitting down with @tomedwards for his new podcast, Complete Tech Heads.

An excellent opportunity to geek out on a myriad of marketing and tech subjects. Check out the snippet and give the pod a follow!

[Tom Edwards AI @tomedwards]

Massive thanks to Alex for joining me. I really enjoyed the conversation, I hope you do too. Links below – and here’s a snippet of the chat…

@HarryHamishGray Unsure how a helmet is safer than proper cycling infrastructure. Helmets aren’t designed to stop you getting mangled by a crappy driver 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Alex @aselles]

@radionz I saw this hatred when I visited NZ recently, I see it often from people I know online. She’s had her struggles (every leader has the last few years), but she’s led with empathy & intelligence and is an absolute credit to NZ. Would a man have faced this abuse? Probably not.

[Sam Neill @TwoPaddocks]

#PrimeMinister @jacindaardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

[Alex @aselles]

@gunnerjez89 @benmackey National’s climate policy in 2020 was disqualifying and I can’t even find anything on their website now. Less said about ACTs the better. Greens are only party putting necessary climate policy forward. Step out of your media bubble if you think they’re just a social justice party

[Alex @aselles]

@gunnerjez89 @benmackey Take your pick between people who care about the future of the planet, or are ten years ahead of the rest of the population on social issues.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

If @RishiSunak becomes PM without a single interview or a smidgin of scrutiny, let alone a public vote, the British electoral system will look no more democratic than a banana republic. He will have no mandate. And that is disgraceful.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

There are no words to describe this utter shambles adequately. It’s beyond hyperbole - & parody.
Reality tho is that ordinary people are paying the price.
The interests of the Tory party should concern no-one right now.
A General Election is now a democratic imperative.
