Did they camp on his lawn for weeks? Did they call for his summary execution? Did they set his playground on fire and spit at his neighbours? Did nearby schools and workplaces have to shut down? Cos, yeah, that sounds bad!

Wonder what Mister "The world doesn't owe you a living" Luxon would be doing if the Fifth Labour Government had said that to Air New Zealand in 2001 instead of writing a $900m bail-out cheque. Oh, I keep forgetting - Market Forces for Thee and Thine, Corporate Welfare for Me and Mine! #nzpol

If you need a break from ..... all that, here is a mini-quiz I made this morning for work. No cheating - let me know if you get 10/10 forms.gle/a4vSRkU1u7wY...

Close Encounters of the Bollocks Kind

Bollocks on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown

The Guardians of the Bollocks

The Fellowship of the Bollocks

Four Bollocks and a Funeral

Bollocks Actually

Ghost jobs you say?!!

No Country for Old Bollocks

The Good, The Bad and the Bollocks

The Unbearable Lightness of Bollocks

Luxon is the kind of man who claims every entitlement he qualifies for whether he needs it or not. Luxon is the kind of man that takes benefit entitlements away from 18 and 19 year olds, saying that "the world doesn't owe them a living." Luxon has created an economy where they can't find jobs.

Means testing is how we got into this penny-pinching mode in the first place. Extend super and call it a UBI

Luxon: ofc we can't afford the healths, you stupid people! Also Luxon: 'invests' 15m of taxpayer money in a *checks notes* tennis roof #nzpol

Does anyone in Hamilton or surrounds know where I might find Aztec Broccoli? I'm having an old acquaintance for dinner tomorrow, and this recipe seems ideal

I'm not a fox, but I feel that this could fix me. Temporarily at least.

OK this one made me laugh.

Do I know anyone in the PNW looking to make friends with a Unicorn puppeteer artist? Who knows? It's worth an ask 😁

Thanks! The point I was trying to make, besides the obvious, the absurdity, is that targeting Portland is just another big fat dancing unicorn of a distraction from things that matter more. (But it's all fascism)

I'm actually quite friendly. :) (this is a thumbs up on a hoof, not a middle finger on a hoof)

OK. Its official. Bluesky has the juice. I post an off the cuff little shitpost about a picture someone took 9000km away of some random in a unicorn costume and, 7 hours later, I get a reply from the unicorn! And, they're lovely!

Accidentally thought too long about how small my dog is and got emotional

Underneath it all, aren't we the same? Don't we all wish to be an author of mild esteem who lives in a small coastal town and solves minor mysteries that befuddle the local authorities using our wits, charm, and strong whiskey?

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

This Neutral Planet PM is getting on my nerves.

It's all shits & giggles Until someone giggles and shits

So why are the headlines not. National pushes for voter suppression? National aiming to suppress 55,000 votes? Will the election be fair if National bill passes? No public consultation on voter suppression bill? Project 2025 NZ: National's voter suppression bill? Any of those would be more accurate.

Immigrants? Hell yes! Come on over. Bring your mum, and her recipe book! 😋

Look, the world sucks and the news is depressing, but did you know that Castle Rat just put out a new album? Everyone should give this album a whirl

Raptured? Oh, sorry, no, you misheard. You're about to get _raptored_...

Our new RB guvna is Brienne of Tarth?
