If someone came up to me and said “immigration without assimilation is invasion” I’d be like this is great. Can’t believe my existence without picking up a single weapon and killing a single person is getting the job done karma a bitch yo suck my dick 🖕🏽 That would be my response.

When we were at fence level he pointed to the players on the field and proclaimed “Mas are working out!” And I had to be like “yeah buddy they are”. -All women are “ma” -He knows when I’m “working out” he’s usually with me

We know this guy probably better than any PM in recent memory. The first two years as opp leader the media never stopped shoving him down our throats. There’s been loads long form interviews and profiles showing who he is. We know who he is, we don’t like him. Amanda needs to make peace with that

Look it's all media bias y'see they don't give the people the full story like that time he had great fantastic chat with a guy but did the media discuss that, no they didn't, all they focussed on was that the guy did the wanker signal about it

This story is confusing cause she reckons we don’t get the full story but he won’t go on Q+A or answer questions fully at press conferences. She reckons he is never at home cause he is out in the community all day so then why don’t the people know him fully?! The math ain’t mathing.

In an effort to save petrol and not deal with parking we walked 80 mins each way to the Basin to get to the cricket today. I feel spent but the good news is my toe is fine which means normal workouts can resume again!!! Woop!

Had an insanely great day at the Basin today. The tiny hobbit asked to go on the field (aka the park 😂) many times and I told him he absolutely could just as soon as he becomes a Black Cap.

I feel this way sitting on planet earth. The thing is: borders are stupid and nobody wants to accept it but it is. We should prioritize safeguarding our planet (ecosystem, flora, fauna, animals) and the people (no matter who they are) but we prioritize year on year profit growth (a made up thing).

Me realizing that Jane Austen’s characters don’t have access to Jane Austen’s books.

The GBM: do you want me to get the cricket tickets. It says ODI whatever that means Me: One Day International The GBM:

Israel is desperate for this to be a religious war cause the state of Israel has lost the nation-state PR.

Lemme get this straight, the man who raped a child did so while “bored” and on leave from his job because he was being investigated for being creepy to women and yet more than 5 chaps have written letters of support?? FFS 🤦‍♀️ believe women & soliciting a hungry child & raping her is HORRIFIC.

Hey so that NZME guy raped the victim. The whole “paid for sexual acts” is a ridiculous narrative. The world would be a better place if we could just adopt the Tiny Hobbit’s Human Dignity Law of Baby or Not Baby.

Just took my first ever dose of adhd meds AMA.

The PM holds the national security and intelligence portfolio - specific oversight of the spy agencies has sat with a different minister for several govts now, dating back to (I think) the Kim Dotcom GCSB saga under Key.

Yikes Chris Penk is GCSB and NZSIS? That makes me feel deeply unsafe ngl. Why doesn’t the PM have those portfolios.

The Chris Bishop thing has me kinda torn cause he is definitely more reasonable than most Nats, certainly Simeon and Penk however I deeply dislike him personally due to my encounters with him from our uni days.

Never thought I’d utter these words: I WANNA GO SEE THE BIG YELLOW DIGGER! And yet, here we are.

Spoke to my bff in london last night for 2 hours and she is the normiest person out there. She has never ever posted anything on politics ever in her life so I like to sprinkle our convo with grotesquely leftist shit and just the most extreme news I come across and I’m always so surprised by her.

Me: Are you a boy or a girl? Tiny hobbit: no! I’m a baby! Me: is ma a boy or a girl. Tiny hobbit: ma… [long pause] ma not baby. There you have it folks, there’s only 2 genders: baby and not baby.

For years I’ve been hearing about the socialist fruit and apart from @ninjakitty.bsky.social giving me a huge bag once and someone dropped some at MIQ I hadn’t really experienced it in it’s true form until the last 2 days! Been on walks and 2 separate neighbors have boxes of feijoa out?! GOATED fr.

Today a North American counterpart told me off for “my tone” because I said I’m not getting on a call at midnight during a public holiday. I am currently apoplectic and need to be pulled off the ledge by someone WHAT THE FUCK MAN.

When the nurse not wearing a mask looks at 3 people in respirators and asks “and have you been well” and you have to resist the urge to say “yeah dude we mask” but you just nod and say “yeah”.

For anyone interested it was $35 as it’s not funded. He had had a double shot before so he could do just 1 this time. Otherwise if it’s your child’s first time I think you’ll pay double.

Got the tiny hobbit his flu shot today and he was such a trooper in his little mask. I’m so proud of him and I constantly feel like my heart is breaking for him cause he is completely reliant on me to make the right decision for him and I don’t know that I am. I hope I am 😭

17 years ago I posted on Facebook that I was really attracted to the “ginger doctor on Greys”. Suffice to say I am manifesting’s final boss 😂

Maybe it’s a good things she says hopefully because I don’t want us to join the US and storm the strait of Hormuz or something crazy like that

Officiating the opening of a paper bag somewhere, no doubt.

Yo why are both PMs of UK and Australia addressing their nations this evening 👀 where’s our CEO goddamnit

WHAAAAAAAT THIS IS SOME CHRISTOFACIST SHIT YUCK

I’ve been trying to work out what about the “$50 petrol for certain parents” that’s bugging me and giving me the ick and it finally dawned on me that it’s the “have babies” undertone. JUST SO GROSS.

Fonterra has just had to admit it broke the law around deceptive and misleading advertising with its claim that its butter is "100% NZ Grass Fed". They feed their cows millions of tonnes of palm kernel in fact. Here is the backstory to the case: www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

I find it so funny how everyone wants to go back to the office but as soon as my manager is OOO everyone is WFH. The math isn’t mathing.

Unfortunately the insane price rises post Covid has taught businesses that they can get away with it because people will keep paying or die/become homeless and no one will care. The rich will subsidize them cause price increases in essentials don’t bother them. They have zero solidarity.

It’s nice that minimum wage is going up today along with the ACC levy and cost of petrol and food and rent and power. I’m sure people on the lowest incomes won’t feel the pinch and will continue to be thriving and enjoying life while they do the essential jobs that are needed for NZ to function.

Went to the grocery store this morning and just buying a bit extra has pushed the grocery bill to a crazy place. I have no idea what this govt is expecting is gonna happen. Nicola Willis was once again harping on about working parents sounding completely ridiculous.

So we are at the syphoning petrol from parked cars stage and this government is talking about communism. At this point we need a snap election.

I dunno how you would ever imagine that Iranians would ever back down. Literally one of the oldest civilizations. The western world hubris gotta be studied they think cause they carved up random nation states and exploited them whenever they wanted means it’s all there for the taking.

There are full on crazy prepper like content all over social media about what’s coming and also our govt being completely blasé about it. I honestly don’t know what we are supposed to do.

My new little “hobby” is photographing interesting houses. But the cars parked in front always ruin the pics. Hate them.

Honestly it doesn’t feel like Biden was President in the middle there it just feels like Trump has been President for over a decade.

Half the time having a corporate job is showcasing your job to random people in the org.

Alright I’ve posted every thought that came to me upon waking up this morning. Have a good day everyone 😂

People who think countries should be run like businesses are objectively stupid. Businesses fail, countries simply cannot.

People make it seem like the 8 hour working day 5 days a week is like some kind of law of the nature rather than a hard fought result of unions that you could change again. There are so many professions that already do more than 8 hours and not during 8-5. It’s made up!!

Of course the high from daily campaigning, waiting for results on election night, and then winning is not gonna compare to the day to day tediousness of governing, making tough decisions, understanding the complex results from policy, pushing back on powerful donors. But one must in a democracy.

Genuinely do think Luxon was put in there with the pitch that he could just be the CEO. That’s why he doesn’t have portfolios, gets agitated in press conferences, doesn’t do proper interviews. You ever see CEO so a press conference? No. This suits the corporate managerial class just fine.

America screwing up the Iran deal and then starting a war for no goddamn reason is diabolical actually they need to be sued by the world.

My grand theory of how the National Party sucks at governing is that because they think they are just naturally better at it, the only thing they feel they need to put effort into is differentiating themselves from the previous govt. If they do that, the results will take care of themselves
