i'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is a great sign and i should watch this fantastic movie at once

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

Bishop knows. “When the speed limit went down to 80 km we didn’t have any fatalities on our road. There wasn’t any significant crashes on our road & then - as soon as it went up - there’s been 2 crashes (1 death) today that I know of,” #nzpol www.teaonews.co.nz/2025/07/24/m...

I don't want to freak anyone out but Slow Horses season 5 has just started.

In April 2025 Chris Bishop increased the speed on the Otaki to Levin Road from 80 to 100kmh, against community opposition. Yesterday he called the road a 'death trap'. Yet he increased the speed on this 'death trap'. www.levinnews.co.nz/2025/04/23/c... www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Mood of the Boardroom: 86% say they would replace Nicola Willis with a self-driving Corolla

It’s only an “ugly recovery” if it comes from the Finance Minister’s region of the Beehive, otherwise it’s just sparkling stagflation

No. No they should not. And California has had it with unaccountable, anonymous federal officers.

I really like how blunt this is about the lack of evidence for this bullshit, and its clarity about who it will hurt.

Nicola Willis's $8.5 billion hole means that the National Party is on track to borrow $120 billion without taking from pay equity claims. That's almost double what Labour borrowed over 6 years - all while Labour managed a global pandemic & economic depression risks #nzpol #Kiwi

An update on that insane lease term where the landlord owns everything you create during the tenancy:

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

When you turn a sod 6 years before construction starts are you really breaking ground? #NZPol

Shortly after Kimmel’s suspension was announced, Disney stock dipped about 3.5 percent and continued to trade lower in subsequent days. That loss in market value has amounted to about $4 billion. That is why Jimmy Kimmel will be back on. Don’t believe any other bullshit reasons. Follow the money.

People will blame anything for their kid's autism before they admit they fucked a nerd

A new solar farm that will power 70,000 homes (& still be available for farming) has been approved for Central Otago! The Otago Daily Times headlines 'one business will close', FB comments 'it will cause bush fires'. We better hurry up & fucking rapture sometime in the next 24hrs

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

I think the Stuff all day live coverage of Charlie Kirk memorial & 1News leading with the story shows that there's some heavyweight interest in pushing US culture and Republican talking points into NZ living rooms. NMZE is naturally already atuned, posting headlines painting Kirk positively #nzpol

Once a proud forerunner in progressive foreign policy, NZ now shamefully lags behind Australia, Canada and those wretched old colonisers England and France who’ve joined over 150 countries in recognising the state of Palestine. #onetermgovt #nzpol #freepalestine

Holy shit re: that last point. What a fucking embarrassment New Zealand is under this goddam clown car government.

This is great. Do please watch it.

why does the City of Auckland 1871-1971 centennial coin look like a cutaway diagram of a penis

Private companies do it better? Like Mainzeal? Oh, thats gone. Like the PPP that built Transmission Gully? Oh, massive cost over-runs. Get in the sea,David, you silly little man.

You mean like the University you studied, the support you got, the social housing that was available at the time, the airlane you used to go places, the health system that was available to you and now you want to take away from everyone else you tosser! www.1news.co.nz/2025/01/24/s...

There’s no bigger beef than whatever is going on between prescription drugs and grapefruit.

WTF is going on at RNZ #NZPol? Do they really need to put "genocide" in quotes almost every time it's mentioned? 🙄 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

The shocking thing (although less shocked every time) is that media are unable to do this job - Craig *specifically* has had to call out the numbers on multiple occasions. All the information is there, but reporters are too eager to get out "good news" that serves the National Party for some reason

I am the dad and my boy doesn't know the name of what I played in the car today but it was the Wipeout 2097 soundtrack.

“Nobody voted for Rogernomics 41 years ago — the free market failed our people in the 1980s and it is failing us today. The legacy of Roger Douglas must be torn down root and branch. It is time to end the era of neoliberalism once and for all.” open.substack.com/pub/elliotcr...

This hasn’t aged well in the last 13 months.

I wish our media did too. #nzpol

My kingdom for any article about "speed humps" to mention that hitting anyone or anything going 50km/hr has an 80-90% chance of killing them, but going 30km/hr is only 10%

So to keep agribusiness happy he changes the law to let them dump more pollution in rivers, but to try to trick most people who want cleaner rivers, he says he is doing this so he can clean up rivers. www.beehive.govt.nz/release/gove...

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I wish Nicola Willis understood any part of this.
