left leaning people today: #NZPOL

I can't recommend these enough. I bought one off Paul maybe 10 years ago and it still looks brand new.

Who hurt you as a child Mr Brown?

Think they should have stuck to designing phones: www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/f...

In other news: I've become slightly addicted to leetcode. Send help.

What's worse? The arseholes making the terrible decisions or the arsehole, who has decided that if he is in a position to reverse the terrible decisions, will just let them stand in the name of consistency? #nzpol #hipkinsout

No one more corrupt than the pious.

You can tell she was lying, her lips were moving. #NZPOL

This basic economics should be taught in schools. Every citizen needs to understand this. It might finally stop the bullshit - "oh too much spent of our tax payer money spent on X" It's simply not how it works.

I can think of a few tax payer funded Govt employees I'd like to get rid of and never see again. They're all in cabinet #nzpol

Absolutely spot on. I turn around and can see maybe 10-15 immigrants in my direct view in the office I work. All brilliant individuals that have brought more to NZ than any fucking politician ever will.

Or maybe you're just a cunt

I was thinking on the way into work this morning, we should start a Bluesky political party. Not left, center or right aligned, but take everything on merit. The party motto and manifesto would be hinged around, "No tribes, just fair". #nzpol

My cartoon on today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... A lot of people are feeling despondent & rightfully angry. The opposition needs to get its shit together as many don't believe they're doing anything to push back on the destruction of our motu. #NzPol #Cartoon #WheresWally

Fun fact: My first ever "proper" job was as a software developer working out of the place that show is filmed in. It has an amazing past and is an amazing building.

i wonder if Chris Hipkins is paying attention to how badly moving to the right is going for UK Labour. grovelling to people who won't ever vote for him while ignoring those who might is not a winning strategy. #ukpol #nzpol

Hopefully the goals it achieves is to get a record number of young people out to vote for not bald frauds. Preferably Green.

What The Luxon Years Produced, In One Picture

When the terms legend and GOAT get bandied around, this guy is both.

Good. Hope they get banned.

Too many, but I'll settle on Manic Miner.

You do you mate, but the dots he's not connecting are we do like to wear shorts outside and don't "rug up" outside in Winter like they do in the Nth Hemisphere, so having it 25 inside and 4 outside is probably pretty dangerous too.

I've seen worse officiating before, but can't remember when.

Oh look it's the 1st of May. You know what that means? genius.com/Jonathan-cou...

Nottingham Forest really should have called their ground Robin Hood arena. Such a missed opportunity.

NZ infrastructure could be better for cycling. CHC is pretty good and a lot of people commute. I think compulsory helmets shouldn't be a thing for 18+. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand the need, but if you want more people cycling, no helmets would help IMO.

Industrial Disease is such great song. The lyrics are *chefs kiss* and apply today as much as they did in Thatcher's Britain. Knopfler is definitely a word smith

⏰ Last chance to back PlanetSmith on Kickstarter. The campaign ends today! It's been an incredible journey and I'm so grateful to everyone who's made this possible. I can't belive we are over 1200% funded with over 1,000 Backers💙 👉 www.kickstarter.com/projects/inc...

I'm old enough to have been around when proportional voting was voted on. MMP was sold as a way for minor parties to have a voice. Lately all it does is allow horrible people into parliament who would never get voted in an electorate. Cough *shane jones *cough #nzpol

If anyone knows of a Junior/Intermediate C++ coder looking for a FT gig in CHC with a great global company, LMK. I'm hiring and struggling to find decent candidates. A bright recent grad would also definitely be considered.

why do we allow Billionaires as a society? Remind me again? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One thing that always puzzles me in Sci-fi: they fly into a new planet looking for one person and can pin point them exactly across the whole planet, somehow.

You always get the green light when you're early.

I lived through the entire 80's. It was pretty bleak at times. The best thing tho was that endless summer feeling. I'd like to bring that back. If not that then the absolute joy and ridiculousness of tech in the 80's

Vote them out NZ. We need a renewables future, not a bunch of donor bootlickers and cookers.

It's pretty obvious when you think about it, yet media/people still suck up to Billionaires like they're next. Narrators voice: you're not. There's only one way to disestablish the rich and powerful. Let's just say the French had a few ideas around the late 1700s

Leave Luxon in there. He's doing great. He'll have an uptick any day now. Signed anyone who doesn't want this govt to get a 2nd term

Luxon has never been questioned in his life before. Failing upwards doesn't prepare you for politics. He's so out of his depth, but everything he's ever experienced won't allow him to realise this. His responses are that of a CEO who isn't used to push back. #nzpol

I used to play weekend football in the 90's to a reasonably high level. (I played school Rugby and League during the week). I can't watch modern football. It's slow, boring and not fun. Don't get me started about the grown arsed "men" who roll around at the slightest touch.

Easy. We're a country full of arsehats who aren't keen to be taxed fairly.

Never forget. #LFC

Jorja Miller, Tom Walsh, Jack Lovelock and Richard Pearse [and the guy who created the Bird Flu vaccine, but you've never heard of him]

Far be it from me to tell people how to look, but can we please agree as a society that surgery to make celebs look like a wax doll that's been out in the sun too long should be frowned upon. If they could frown that is.

But y'know the cookers are still putting the signs up saying the Paris agreement is destroying us all over SH1 in the SI. Fuck those guys. I'd have 1 penguin over 100 of those fuckwombles iucn.org/press-releas...

But oddly enough money to give themselves raises and their landlord mates. #nzpol #votethemout
