Wellingtonians DO NOT DRIVE NORTH ON SH1, there's been a huge crash and everyone is being forced to take the Tawa offramp, queue is currently all the way back to the Churton overbridge

Whomever did the Harvey Norman car park on Tory St had clearly never driven, or even seen, a car before.

some say that nick tansley hasn't stopped singing christmas songs since 1872

this interview is new zealand's greatest sporting achievement new zealand relevance klaxon can retire

the singing will continue until morale plummets

Am hoping a valuable life lesson is taught tonight

scapegoat a villain too early and he'll drag you all to hell. a tale as old as time. and in my patreon weeks ago.

thespinoff.co.nz/politics/04-... did i stir up my readers? i thought i inspired them

i get the populist appeal of a rates cap, but surely that inevitably leads to user-pays? #FeelsBumBro

The perils of shortening headlines... #RIPnorthland

for our engagement party, Kim and I wanted cheerios. People tried to talk us out of it. People went and fucked right off. We had cheerios. People fucking love cheerios. Sorry people who don't eat misc processed meat. Also don't call them little boys.

as a non drinker hosting a friend, this is what you lushes want innit?

is every relationship made up of one person who inexplicably cannot stack a dishwasher and one who is unnecessarily anal about it?

highly recommend singing and videoing yourself while stuck in traffic as a form of just feeling a bit better about the state of it

today is the second holiest day in the cormack family memories, behind kim on the slide. it's couch day. my facebook memories are just this picture so many goddamn times.

tweets that aged like wine

have started videoing myself belting out songs in the car. it's genuinely therapeutic. I have posted some of the videos somewhere safe. But it's more for me. Here's me going ham on It's All Coming Back to Me

Cook Strait Tug was my nickname at school.

baby I hate ur screams but i love the way ur beak looks at dusk

Hope I'm right. Suspect nyt isn't an edgelord like me.

Greta wrote this song in her music lesson yesterday. I love the punk break. And the "hello". And the plot twist. Really the whole thing. Also grateful that what started as trumpet lessons (nerrrrrrrrrrd) have turned into drum lessons.

Somewhere out in tumblr, there is a slash fic writer devastated that they've lost their bit.

got all flustered by the police force insisting Jevan McSkimming fuckery was a few bad apples, and definitely not a system issue. wrote about it being a fucking systemic issue. www.patreon.com/posts/they-w...

Dog park next to creek. How it started...

This year I have: Forced my father into a retirement home against his will. His dementia was bad enough that POA was invoked. Which was me. Watched him decline. Had work stress both due to too much work and not enough work. Had money stress. Been diagnosed with severe adhd.

Just make it illegal to be homeless.

99 nights... My body... Truly the most beautiful suicide (alpha wolf attack)

what. the. hell. maybe help reduce the number of people who don't have a goddamn roof over their heads instead of hiding them away.

im actually almost beginning to enioy the insane self aggrandisement

what if... hear me out... we made uni free AND did the cgt?

tonight matthew, im a deadBeat dad

whenever I have a rough few days mentally, I can't face tiktok for some reason And then this happens

The bar is now "blemish free"

If your dad's name is Murray, he drives for Corporate Cabs, and you're his daughter in her final year at Wairarapa College, he is so goddamn proud of your writing. I heard the synopsis of several of your stories and films and he was beaming. Keep doing.

This is Andrea at her pure best. Phenomenal column. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

how long can your call volumes be "higher than expected" until it's your fault for not adjusting your expectations?

it's cool that the US has just biffed metaphors out the window and are now just living it

ummm spotify dj x, if you're going to introduce a section with "right now we're going upbeat", i'm not sure that sharon van etten's every time the sun comes up fits that great song tho, so i'll allow it.

do u ever feel like you're living your own special version of the Book of Job? this year eh. it's been ... challenging.

If labour does run a cgt I hope their comms is prepared. Last time national convinced everyone they owned a bach and Labour was gonna steal it. Make the case better. But we also need to be prepared for the fact it ain't a silver bullet.

Why is the most anxiety inducing part of getting Greta ready for school, making her lunch? And why do I put so much sense of self worth in checking the lunchbox at the end of the day to see how much she ate?

I didn't last long at the Greens, but while I was there I got to have fun working with. @misswhanau.bsky.social

Still furious about this

truly the new zealandiest of news alerts

with the exception of JA and Jones, these names feel like the future of some of the parties in parliament
