"Māori facial tattoos get visibility boost following appointment of New Zealand foreign minister"

"Politician Nanaia Mahuta made history this week when she was named New Zealand's first Indigenous female foreign minister. But for those with traditional Māori tattoos, known as moko, she has long been breaking down barriers.
In 2016, after taking part in a Māori tattooing design ceremony, Mahuta became the first female member of parliament to wear lip and chin markings, or moko kauae. Traditional tattoos offer 'positive ways to enable cultural expression and pride in being Māori," she tweeted last year.'"
New Zealand is the place to live rn

$100k in damages awarded for attempted murder with an animated GIF
- I consider the threat of seizure to be the seizure warning. lol at “attempted murder” and “deadly weapon”imbecile
- A question for you Americans... If you have to pay something like that amount is it an insurance thing or does the person actually have to give £100k?!Hayzilla
- Not an expert but I would assume if the person has insurance like if it was a car accident it might be covered. I don't see how it's covered in this case lolyuekit
- they take anything you have in savings to pay it. you can claim bankruptcy but you can garnish their wages and take a % of their wages until its paid off.shellie
- Most people have to keep working to survive so there's income. A woman sued my sister for talking shit and my sister paid her $100 a month until she died.shellie
- you could have prepaid legal services which helps to fight it with lawyers. there has to be some sort of liability insurance that covers this but never seen oneshellie
- Fuck me. Are Americans not petrified constantly that they could lose everything at any given moment. Mad.Hayzilla

Stockholm Syndrome
A grim discovery has been made in Stockholm, Sweden: A man in his forties found wounded in an apartment -- and may have been held captive there by his own mother for nearly 30 years.
The mother -- a 70-year-old woman whom neighbors thought lived alone -- has been arrested.
The man was reportedly found by a relative on Sunday (November 29).
Swedish media say he was found lying on a blanket on the floor, toothless, unable to speak, and covered in sores and injuries.
