Officials explicitly warned conservation minister that allowing commercial fishing in Hauraki Gulf protection areas would “undermine biodiversity”. Six days later, he recommended ring net fishers be allowed. @nzherald @WWFNewZealand @LegaSea_NZ

@drclairetaylor Not electric ones….they heat up their water on the stove. They also have drip coffee makers.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall, there have been false claims and misinformation regarding the federal assistance available to survivors, from former President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and others.

These claims are not true. 🧵

Everyone forgets how we got Fox News. That story is crucial now. https://t.co/9OamfpqyqS

@elonmusk But New Zealand doesn’t require you to show ID when you vote. Neither does Australia. Fact checking isn’t difficult…just inconvenient

@megynkelly Megyn, this is beneath all of us. Dislike her policies but if who you’ve slept with is disqualifying then few can make it to political office. Sounds like she had consensual sex with a fellow adult. Unfortunately, not all running for POTUS can say the same. #SlutShamingisSO2002

For those for Biden’s departure…I wish they would save the pearl clutching for the man who fomented an insurrection, found liable for not only raping but also defaming E. Jean Carroll, reversing Roe, convicted felon, twice impeached orange prevaricator. #Election2024

@luatunes @WWFNewZealand The preferences aren’t being made to benefit nature or even based on science. Nor does it consider what this extinction would mean for human survival. It’s purely about $. Humans need biodiversity for survival. It’s also arrogant to assume we are so valuable.

[Caroline Bruner @chbruner]

@luatunes @WWFNewZealand It’s not natural selection when WE choose if they are valuable enough to survive.

Could Alito (or his wife) made an innocent mistake? Yes. But I doubt it. Why? Does he live up to the expectations of a Supreme Court justice? No. Is he ethically compromised? Yes.

In 1990, my father was the Commander of a European military base. Dad was at work, Mum and I were home and the phone rang - military police were on the line. ‘Ma’am, who is in the home? Are you okay?’ We said it was just us and all was well. 1/+ https://t.co/a0D2xxfKsi

Turns out, my father hung the flag up that morning in the dark on the way to work, and accidently hung it upside down - an international sign of distress. We thought it was hilarious, and definitely gave him plenty of shit for it. 4/
