Courageously blamed his subordinates then, too.

Bishop or Todd McClay haven't totally shat the bed to quite the extent the others have (this is the very fucking definition of faint praise).

More than 180 authors quit writers' week. Many returned for a DIY replacement Constellations emerged from the ashes of Adelaide Writers' Week, which was cancelled after authors withdrew over censorship. Organisers share how it came together and lessons for the future.

We stood together against anti-Palestinian racism and they cancelled our festival. So we organised our own.

Very tired now, but very proud of Constellations!

Great in depth coverage from Hannah Story here

Meridian, Contact, Mercury and Genesis Energy are reporting record profits. Meanwhile, are your power bills any lower?

Same thing with high-compression combustion engines. Be smooth coming off the accelerator, or you're going to make your passenger grumpy.

No, no, they took his old church's website offline when it became public because they just didn't want everyone to see how boring and routine their views were.

My boomer father-in-law just spent the weekend on the couch bemoaning other people who only ever vote for a right-wing party, and how they never think about the consequences. Guess who he votes for.

Also he broke our vacuum cleaner. After we replaced it two months ago. After he broke the last one.

Dogs can be such drama queens. At one point, Massey diagnosed our puppy with some incredibly rare disease, then they rang back and were like "So, actually, it turns out she's an enormous wuss."

Except if their supporters understood cause and effect in the first place, they wouldn't support them in the first place.

"NZ condemns Tehran's retaliatory strikes..."

I'm sorry, you fucking what?

So glad we have a fundamentalist piece of shit who thinks he's gonna get "saved" along with the 12 tribes of Israel, in charge of our country.

Office of the Prime Minister
Cabinet du

Statement by Prime Minister Carney and
Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East
"The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions.
Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.
Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September.
Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people.
Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.

Evil is getting free reign to make the war they lust over right now.

There's no such thing as a preemptive strike on a school full of children. Nobody believes this do they? Their bullshit is horrific.

I just got to the part where he says that Iran has resisted every attempt to get them to give up their nuclear program, and I have to say: HELL NO. They signed a deal. Trump tore it up. Never forget this.
