MEEP

People used to be getting healthier year on year. Now we're getting sicker year on year. The difference is Covid.

Post a banger not in English. (this one's pretty old!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG6K...

Was this protest covered at all by the NZ media? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Watched this last night and actually teared up. Sir Ian is an amazing actor and Shakespeare's words even today are so relevant.

This is an environmental win for the ages. They tried to start seabed mining in Aotearoa. For 12 years we fought back. And won. A magnificent alliance of iwi and environment NGOs and 100,000s of NZers www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

Yay! I added a kārearea (New Zealand falcon) to my "lifer" list today! My daughter heard it calling and we made our way to a clearing so we'd be able to see the sky and it flew overhead! No photo, so here's the DOC page. #NZ #AoNZ #birds #Pukaha www.doc.govt.nz/nature/nativ...

wtf? Mallards caught preying on pūteketeke chicks? I've marked as disturbing in case you'd rather not see that. #AoNZ #birds But who would have thought that might happen? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

#BirdoftheDay #Reflection #AoNZ mute swan, reflected

Bloody hell. More people out of work. Time to stop wittering about "green shoots" and face the reality: this government is failing New Zealanders. #nzpol www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/u...

oh how cool! My husband's ancestors lived near Muir of Ord (within 5 miles of Windhill) That was in the 1700s, so not sure where they were 1200 years earlier. :) Send in Time Team! #archaeology #history

So a photo I shared before is perfect for #BirdOfTheDay theme of #OpenBeak. (hope it's okay to reshare!). #birds #AoNZ bsky.app/profile/curi...

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

Starts tomorrow! #Aotearoa #NewZealand If you're like me, you have friends/family who have been impacted by this dreadful disease. Every bit helps to raise awareness and support, even if it's just sharing this post! 🚶🏻‍♀️ Thanks! www.moveyourbutt.org.nz/fundraisers/...

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

Never mind jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university 1. Human Origins, Evolution and Diversity 2. Neuroscience - Brain and Behavior 3. Social Stratification 4. The English Bible 5. American Dialects

Seymour: "you can economise on it with the volume you eat" ie, if you can't afford white bread, just eat less, amirite? disgusting.

Went to the park today to do some bird watching but got distracted by all the magnificent eels (called tuna in Māori) in the lake. Must have seen at least 20! #AoNZ #Whakaoriori More info: www.doc.govt.nz/nature/nativ...

Black swan (Kakīānau) couple at Queen Elizabeth Park, Masterton (mating 'dance' and beyond) #AoNZ #Whakaoriori #birds #Aotearoa #video 🪶🇳🇿 taken today

Bruce!

Masterton has 4 now. Soon we will have one.

As a kid raised in Quaker tradition who has recently returned to Society of Friends Meetings and who has Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry, this is amazing. 😍

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Watched this the other day. I can't believe I lived in sight of Logan for many years and never knew about the owls! What a great guy he is! #birds

Woohoo! Pats going to the Super Bowl! #nfl

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Understandable rage. RIP.

So many things wrong with this. But honestly, why do the penguin and Trump have identical footprints??

I don't use TikTok but I had downloaded the app to try it out. Now removed! FYI to others.

Missed the launch of the new-and-improved CS50x 2026? 🧐 Not to worry! Enroll anytime at cs50.edx.org or watch the entire course on YouTube at cs50.ly/x2026. All your progress from last year will roll over!

Sir, you can’t break up with someone who already blocked your number

I am physically incapable of taking a deep enough breath to accommodate all the swears I have about our nations current leadership. With currently about double the support NZF had at the 2023 election, if reflected in a new government their influence could be twice as strong.

And just like that, the US has left the World Health Organization. Link goes to the official announcement—lies pretending to justify a decision that will kill countless numbers—from people too stupid to even include a proper twittercard. www.hhs.gov/press-room/u...

Well worth a watch. And Aotearoa! Listen #nzpol

Has @peoplemag.bsky.social taken lessons from @teenvogue.com ? Getting the news out to those who don't read/watch the mainstream. Well done!

Is there a chance that it was that bus driver flying Air Force One.

Tolaga Bay Civil Defence says homes near the Hikuwai R. are being asked to evacuate before nightfall. Up to 350 millimetres of rain is forecast to fall north of Tolaga Bay, near Gisborne, between now and 11am tomorrow. ...could result in the Hikuwai River reaching levels of up to 12 metres. #AoNZ

Reposting in honour of #PenguinAwarenessDay :)

It’s Penguin Awareness Day which seems like a great excuse to post the greatest ever Wikipedia edit.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

In his mind it was "hole milk" because that's what they use to make Swiss cheese, probably.

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!
