As the date for Election 2026 has been announced (November 7), now is a good time to check if you are enrolled to vote, and to update your details if needed. vote.nz/enrolling/en... #election #decision2026 #nzPol

Reminder: regime voter suppression means you need to enrol early. vote.nz/enrolling/en...

Suspect a HUGE issue with "A.i." summary tools is that they're full of mistakes that you'd only know if you already know the material. So people THINK it's helping when it's actually making them more ignorant.

Looks like another eatery is gone. The BBQ Duck Cafe branch across from Aotea Square (350 Queen St) is no more. The notice says they've decided not to renew their lease because of the economy. The 115 Queen St branch is still going though. #AucklandEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits

Genzui was my favourite town ramen spot so I was gutted when the Crowne Plaza shop closed. But last year they re-opened in Birkenhead. I had the shio ramen ($16) & the karaage chicken ($8). Tasted as I remembered: delicious. #AucklandEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️ 1/3

Went to Chubby Boy (42c High Street, Auckland CBD) for lunch: soy sauce chicken on rice ($14.8) which came with a small bowl of soup (complimentary). It was a bit saltier than I like but was tasty & good portion size. #AucklandEats #kai #food 🍜🍽️

If you're seeing encouragement/demands to do alt text and you're overwhelmed or confused about how to do it and you're worried you're going to do it wrong... this thread is for you. First: prompt questions to get you started.

I’d just like to remind everyone that the first iRex ferry would have just entered service had the coalition not cancelled them purely out of spite for the opposition, Wellington and the South Island.

My real dark humor was my nz friends showing me in horror what they considered to be police violence and me basically laughing and then realising oh no, they're right, my baseline is just insane. So much malleable context relativity.

Neuroplasticity is a blessing and a curse. I've lived in multiple conflict zones 😅 and really life felt kind of normal to me until I went somewhere safe and was like oh shit lol I'm fucked. And for the record, same experience leaving the US.

I always thought she'd do the right thing: "A top Australian arts festival has seen the withdrawal of dozens of writers, including former NZ prime minister Jacinda Ardern, in a backlash against its decision to bar an Australian Palestinian author"

Gee whiz, if I was the leader of a nation and got pissy about folk taking too much time off over summer, and backed up that statement by saying Jan 3rd is a normal time to be back at work... and then was *very noticeably* not at work by then... I'd be very glad 99% of the media was also on holiday.
