Stay safe American's. The majority of the world knows that you are not the scenes of antidemocracy we have seen today and over the past. May this be a day where the USA begins a process of healing and addressing issues of inequity and inequality

Chris Wallace's debate performance tonight is a great reminder that kindergarten teachers are underpaid. #Debates2020

We're all angry about George Floyd. So, want to know what you can ACTUALLY do to help? Where to donate? How to organise protests? How to stay safe around police? Where black people can find free therapy? What to read to educate yourself? Here's how you can make a difference:

I do wonder if some of the areas of NZ with lower Covid-19 cases is due to there not having been as much testing carried out in those regions. It'd be interesting to see a count of the number of tests carried out by DHB.

I love you #London but what are you doing to your people. I've seen more #homeless in the past two weeks than the decade I lived there. You're breaking my heart.

Thanks @ScotRail I found out the reason for the cancelled trains by stepping out of the train. It would be nice for your staff to pass on information to customers. 150 minutes at Paisley Gilmour Street with no information or a plan for how to get customers to their destination.

It seems a number of people gazing skyward this have noticed a meteor making its way across NZ this evening, and given us a call to let us know. Rest assured, we have confirmed with our Paranormal Division, and it is nothing to be concerned about💥💫
