My brother graduated to angel status at 3.45am on Wednesday 12 November. So well loved, so dearly missed.

🧵Spotted at a Mask Carnivale in Aotearoa New Zealand: A dreamy young human (7?) is participating in a haka but he's a bit distracted. But it's okay. His friend is at his side. Hip bumping him and reminding him how it goes. Yes! He's got it now! Eyes wide. Face fierce. He's in the zone. (1)

Judith Collins should be sacked!!!! Bringing New Zealand into disrepute- cosying up to terrorists!!!!

David Seymour pulled the land rover stunt at Parliament to take attention off the fact he took money from Philip Polkinghorne & then leaned on top cops to "go easy" on his constituent. Polkinghorne was the police's sole murder suspect in the death of his wife #nzpol #Kiwi Shameful Seymour

Two History postdocs at UNSW (Sydney) and the net is wide: "open to candidates working on any time period from Ancient History to Contemporary History, any area or region, incl. global and international history, and any methodology, incl. oral history, gender history, history of race and more."

Suck on that, Bryce Wilkinson (and Luxon of course). All that Covid $$$ support, was actually almost fiscally neutral and saved the country. #nzpol

Cloudy start to the day, Sunday, 5 October, from Okitu Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand. Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️

The govt says it has a plan to combat high power prices, but their plan could do the opposite, report warns. They have rejected most of the energy report’s recommendations. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Energy #FossilFuels #CostOfLiving

Yes #Luxon you are… #OneTermGovernment #nzpol #Election2026 #WorstPMEver

Hey Chris Luxon, maybe have a wee read of the Electoral Act 1993, s7 before trying to play the Big Business CEO, huh? "The Electoral Commission must act independently in performing its statutory functions and duties, and exercising its statutory powers, under— (a) this Act ..."

Nurses have no other course than to strike, with this government continuously lying to them. Again Simeon lacks a spine in being upfront with us about the cost of privatisation, the dishonest figures. Thank you @mountaintui.bsky.social for a great write up! open.substack.com/pub/mountain...

Would love a journalist to ask David Seymour which of Charlie Kirk's views he himself supports, and why he thinks a tribute to Charlie Kirk in NZ parliament would be appropriate.

Good night, dear friends. It’s 00:50 in Ukraine. I wish everyone has a safe, peaceful, and calm night. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. 📹One day this war will end, and broken families will hold each other again, hearts reunited where they belong.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A woman (20s?) walks up to a cafe counter and says, "I've had a terrible morning. What do you have that's a full tummy hug? I really need one right now." She's seen a bit later tucking into a big bowl of soup and a massive cheese scone. (1)

Good night, dear friends. It’s 02:30 in Ukraine. That’s what we are fighting for — our country, our future, our children, and our freedom.

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content

THIS. IS. THE. WAY.

Happy birthday, Santa Elf Supremo!! @witchnwords.bsky.social I hope you have a truly magical day!!

Though I’m reluctant to share, I think we can all agree the use of the image below was intentional and alongside the headline intended to make Chlöe look silly. This is a pathetic attempt to undermine an incredibly brave leader gaining traction around the world. Shame.

YASS WHAEA!!! #nzpol

As of this week, there is nobody left on Earth who witnessed this moment live.

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (4?) is waiting for a cheese toastie to be made while roaring what can only be an ancient summoning spell. It goes: "Melted CHEEEESE! Melted CHEEESE. CHEEESE! In. My. TUMMMYYY! CHEESE!" A toastie appears. Her work here is done. (1)

Bishop took down his tweet implying Whanau was an anti-semite saying 'fair cop' like he was busted pulling a cheeky prank. Dude should post an apology. A deletion is just pretending you never did it. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

A quiet and restrained reflection on today's news about the increasing unemployment in our country and the Minister of Finance saying that people who have lost their jobs shouldn't take it personally.

RNZ: 'Nicola Willis bemoans 'glass half empty' view of unemployment figures' 'Willis said the 16,000 people who had lost their jobs "shouldn't take it personally" and blamed the previous government.' I'm sure this will be a very popular approach to the issue #nzpol

FBI can get the hell out of NZ. We’re an independent sovereign nation. This is a shameful obsequious kowtowing to the world’s biggest bully. #nzpol

🧵Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand: A young human (4?) is walking, holding his sausage in a bun, looking very distressed. He announces: "Dad! I want to eat my sausage but I have a VERY ITCHY BOTTOM!" Dad nods and says: "And that's life right there kiddo." (1)

As someone who lives in Hastings, grown up here, yadda yadda, I fucking love this headline😍

(Sorry I'm always sayin the same thing, but every news item about this gets it twisted) Ray Chung’s email about Tory Whanau is not some random thing he did. It’s part of a global pattern: women leaders being targeted with false, sexist rumours to undermine their credibility and leadership. #nzpol 🧵

100%!! I want my councillors to push like shit for a fair share of the national tax take to reduce the burden on ratepayers and to keep all the lights on #nzpol

A 200 Year Alliance DESTROYED! Because of Trump's military threats, insults, bullying & economic-damaging tariffs, (to both our countries!), against the most peaceful country on Earth, Canada has moved on. Their trade with us is being transferred to the EU. A Canadian friend described it this way:
