Australia: let’s roll out so much rooftop solar you can have free power during the day NZ: businesses are closing down because they can’t afford power so we’re building a one billion dollar fossil fuel terminal so we can keep not having free power

Winston "baubles of office" Peters from busted for rustling up an unnecessary trip to Saudi to watch racing and Joseph Parker fight. How about you pay the taxpayer back, you thief. #nzpol. www.1news.co.nz/2026/02/10/o...

'Essentially, what they’re doing is putting a new tax on every New Zealander’s power bill to subsidise an expensive sunset industry. This is a political choice this government is making.' Alva Feldmeir #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/why-not-sp...

NZ building a fossil gas import terminal in the #climatecrisis could be Luxon’s most STUPID idea yet. Why not spend that BILLION dollars on household solar and battery installation? Would be safer, more resilient, provide cheaper power and climate-friendly. #nzpol

like this a lot, just adding alt for accessibility, text search and such

Helen Petousis-Harris's piece on how the WHO is vital for New Zealand just nails it. While I am here, can I also just say that @helenp-h.bsky.social is a national treasure. theconversation.com/who-membersh...

another year of us not running a super bowl ad

When I went to the Hamilton gardens last month I bought a couple of postcards at the gift shop and I sent one to my bff in London and one my my mum in America. They both were so happy to get them! Send postcards to your people. People love it! It’s a cute surprise and the world needs more of this.

Spain -- unlike the US -- still believes in accountability.

I DON'T LOOK LIKE THIS WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANY ACTUAL COMMERCIAL SITE MAKE AN "AI" PICTURE OF ME WHEN THERE ARE DOZENS OF PICTURES OF ME AVAILABLE ON STOCK ART SITES AND EVEN SOME GODDAMN CREATIVE COMMON PICTURES FOR FUCK'S SAKE THIS PERSON LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN BOOGER DON'T FUCKIN' USE "AI" Y'ALL

Working with #kakapo, this is the best thing you'll ever see. When "candling" an egg you hold your breath, hoping to see this: beautiful embryo development in a fertile egg. This is Tiwhiri's second egg, about 8 days old. About half of eggs are infertile. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Will ANY NZ Journalist please ask Luxon: How is Cabinet Minister Shane Jones' comments any different to Maureen Pugh's? "There is no room for climate deniers or climate MINIMALISTS in the twenty first century" The current Prime Minister of NZ - 22/2/2023. [ www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiVF... ] #nzpol

Mother nature is a raver.

They really need to learn the meaning of the word

Do you remember when John Key spent 26 million dollars trying to change the New Zealand flag. Then we have Winnie saying the $222M breakage fee was "reasonable" when breaking the iREX Ferry contract. And it costs $3M PA for WHO🤦 Please vote these loonies out #nzpol

Woah, comprehensive. Make yourself a cuppa and settle in. #atlasnetwork #thinktanks

There should be something that men's noses can be rubbed in. As a bloke I think that is appropriate in these situations.

Let's get ready to fumble.

OK that's enough rain now. #NewZealandSummer #CantWeTrySomethingNew #kikorangi?

@metservice.com @metservicewarnings.bsky.social Will the NZ Metservice website ever be unfucked? Nothing loads and the five day rain forecast hasn't worked for ages.

My son just now: it is amazing that a century of American world dominance has abruptly come to an end because egg prices were up by 2%. #TheKidsAreAlright.

Excellent analytical thread.

I was let go from my day job. So until I get a new income I'm a full time author. So if you want to support an author my novels are 0.99 or you can sign up for my newsletter and get books for free. Links in comments or bio. Until then my cat is enjoying my book from her box. #caturday #cats #sff

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Literally EVERYONE I see mentioning the new ICE account says block them, IMMEDIATELY. Cause they won't just harass, they'll be combing our photos and posts for information to use in their campaigns of terror. And when I got to block them myself I see this jackass has followed them.

Im my ALL IN THE FAMILY rewatch, and it’s nuts how much this show remains relevant. Archie Bunker operates on fear. It’s his default setting. Fear that he’s not important, that he won’t get what he wants, that other people are having a better life than him. Carroll O’Connor was a brilliant actor.
