This is what I get to come home to. In addition to losing an aunty and an uncle. And seeing progress on Mark's apocalypse fortress.

Been enjoying decolonizing ChatGPT in my free time. Hawaiian history has been fun, she’s been learning pretty quick. I’ve gotten to 2 “load fails” thus far when it times out & ends the sessions. One was the occupation of Palestine by Israel & the other United Fruit Company 🤣

There's more to this than we are seeing right now. Witnesses reported Worth essentially bullying Kawānanakoa into giving her access to her bank accounts, possibly abusing the Princess in her old age.

At age 96, Hawaiian royal heiress Princess Abigail Kawananakoa died Sunday. Kawananakoa held no formal title but was a living reminder of Hawaii’s monarchy and a symbol of Hawaiian national identity. This image shows her in court sitting next to her wife, Veronica Gail Worth.

A reflection on the town hall last night..too many people buy into the "Hawaiians are going to be loud and cause trouble" mindset... especially Hawai`i legislators, some of them Hawaiian themselves. Bias, racism, privilege-influenced.

The police have quietly lowered the threshold at which speed cameras ping drivers. The result is tens of thousands more tickets handed out for drivers doing between one and 11 kph over the speed limit. rnz.co.nz/news/national/

National’s boot camps are costed at $15m for 60 youth offenders a year. That’s $250k each. For just $40k per year they could give each of these kids a full scholarship to St Paul’s Collegiate, the elite boarding school Sam Uffindell went to after he was expelled from King’s.

Do MPs get paid even if they don't show up to work?
Quote Tweet
A big show of hardworking @nzlabour. Unlike National party MPs who are absent again. National just cast 28 votes only on a bill. This means that in addition to their normal leave entitlement they have a further 5 absent members. Much like the previous week and yesterday. twitter.com/JudithCollinsM…
