Right, calm enough to do a 🧵 on the RBNZ decision to increase interest rates.. The high priests of reckonomics have had their say - bring on the blood-letting. Some facts... The only bit of the economy showing early signs of recovery in early 2026 was profits - jobs were still on their ass. [1/n]

Alarms off peeps

Hey don’t forget to turn your alarm off for tomorrow if you have the day off and if you don’t, hey thanks for turning up

That Bonnie Tyler had such a voice #RIP

I mean you've got to laugh haven't you?

Can we give the Prime Ministers job to someone that wants it, who is excited by it, who finds it challenging and wants to go that extra mile to make a difference. #nzpol

Brilliant. I’ll vote for this. Pass it on. #nzpol

Such bullshit - apparently her values align best with NZF - which became apparent to her during the covid years Winston Peters was 100% supportive of mandated vaccines back then! #nzpol NZ First haven: Former MP Harete Hipango-Brownlie latest to make the jump www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

THANKS Luxon we just love everything about what your government choices have been doing here. 🫩

Choose your fighter Kiwibuild Vs RoNS

This is 100%!on the Minister and his government who have defunded Health since being elected. You get a choice come November to vote them out

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Thanks Jacinda for our holiday tomorrow 🙏 #matariki

How about this story from just three weeks ago, about how the nation's transport agency can only afford to fix one (1) more bout of storm damage given current funding: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361... Someone best tell Mother Nature: no more road-damaging extreme weather until 1 July 2027, thanks!

Didn't that weirdo Simon Watts write to councils recently to tell them off for planning worst case climate scenarios? It's such a reality vs ideology intersection, but the fools still choose their ideology and lika Lamia says, sooo exhausting for those of us in the reality based world

Haven't had time today to post on the RBNZ being idiot ghouls. Suffice to say it is bad. On the upside, these kind of macho, medieval monetarist moves do tend to bring down Governments.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

On the 12th of feburary, Paul Goldsmith had two meetings, one with the free speech union, and one with the human right's commission. I submitted an OIA for documents relating to those two half hour meetings, and apparently that was such an onerous request, Goldsmith requested an extension in order

Dare Trump to beat this record.

The fact that Michelin reviewers came to NZ and didn't give any recognition to any pies is how we know they can't be taken seriously.

My upcoming book is absolutely packed to the brim with em dashes—more em dashes than any well-adjusted human being could possibly need or want—and if any of you tries to claim they are the result of some soulless LLM rather than my own unhinged compulsion I will fight you.

Quick update of an old favourite. You see, NZ Govt has more financial assets than it has debts, and those financial assets are liabilities of the private sector. Govt gets a return. Kerching.

Correlation just gets stronger... Real house prices vs the employment rate. You see, it takes two wage slaves to tango in the NZ housing market. The little yellow skulls are changes in Government, which is what happens when swing voters aren't pacified by those sweet capital gains.

The reason the world is upset with Israel is because of the 700,000+ innocent Palestinians they’ve murdered. It’s not because they’re Jewish. Hope that helps.

So the US Ambassador wants to bring something we don’t want into our harbour to hold a sports ball event of a game we don’t really care about. Really trying to relate to the local population

Hey @kiwiev.bsky.social - my son wants a car - I’m trying to convince him to something electric. He needs a large boot wagon to fit three dogs into. Any suggestions on the best model for that?

Just had a wild experience I'd like to share. I tool the bike out for a while around the back roads of the Franklin district in Auckland to get some throttle therapy and fresh air. I was going at a decent, but legal pace, when I came upon a car stopped pretty much in the middle of the road 1/

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...
