What a shame Judiths mate got the sack.

We'll go into the final as massive underdogs, but if there is any team in the world that can beat India in a circumstance like this I think it's us. Will we? Would need a lot to go our way, but I don't think we will go in with any fear #cricket #blackcaps

I think this is just a (racist) distraction. Using immigration to distract from the truly terrible emigration problem we have.

Thought the bald fraud was a Christian? Clearly hasn't read Mathew 25:40

More fuckwittery by the Bish. What a complete twat www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

so this is a hell of a subtweet. it makes our statement being milequetoast-ly supportive of the US clearer, govt doesn't want to upset gas-daddy at a time when they have shown no economic plan and are desperate for something - anything - to take into the election. remember kids, always be craven.

Brody Retalick is only 34. Get him back into the ABs Rennie! #rugby

Share this far and wide. We CANNOT allow this to happen.

Totally not of this government's making... #nzpol

Wow. Listening to a bit of Brad Thorn in podcasts atm. Hearing him talking about ABs v Springboks brings chills. Thorn is my favourite player OAT FWIW. He, IMO, is the greatest player to ever play the game both codes call Rugby

I love the internet. I had a memory flash of a Max Headroom like basic type in from the mid-80s that me and my brother typed in one school holidays. 5 minutes later I found it! www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Fi... BTW I was blown away by the cartoon graphics back in the day. We've come a loooooong way.

The sooner people realise that economists are the sports pundits of the financial world the better.

When Govt can pass bills under urgency like these terrible ones, it feels like the High Court or some similar check and balance should have power to overturn.

Scum vs Toffees is a hard one for me. I want both teams to lose

Hipkins gotta go. He's so vanilla and centrist. It's disgusting to his forebears who fought alongside the workers for rights to have this milquetoast leader. C'mon Kieran roll him before it's too late.

With a lot of shit happening around the world, I can gain one glimmer of joy from the fact that Spurs could get relegated. I don't actually care either way other than I have a lot of Spurs supporting mates and it would be a year of fun if they had to play in the Championship next year.

I still can't hear "Old time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger without picturing this:

Also encourage young people in your life to vote. This is your future. Stand up and be counted.

I'm sure this is absolutely true in Iceland. In NZ we are the country that punches above it's weight in everything we do, however it's not Govt funding - it's cos there is fuck all else to do! Isolation breeds creativity and resilience.

I'm old enough to remember the RAM shortage of the 80's and 90's.

True, but it's missing the bit about how someone then argues with the expert, because reckons.

Might be missing something but wouldn't the record emigration figures be masking unemployment numbers a little? Probably actually worse than the really bad numbers suggest? #nzpol

Watched 3 News last night. Interviewer hauled prefect Hipkins over the coals in a interview. Same interviewer just let Nikki No Boats and the Bald fraud away with claiming the feels about the economy. No issues questioning Hipkins but don't be a coward and allow Govt to get away cheaply #nzpol

Just read the communal paper while making a coffee. Apparently it's time to join Australia as a state and even tho it's better to rent not buy financially, economist telling young people to buy because of feels. I swear these articles are printed every year.

We have been living in CHC FT for 2 weeks now. The thing I had forgotten after living here early 2000's is the cicadas. So loud. Also I don't recall it being so windy back then?

Not the kind of miracles we need in 2026, but the lord works in mysterious ways

I've said it before, under Hipkins I could see this happening. He's a centrist through and through. It's an interesting thought exercise if red & blue could meet in the middle. Would it be better for the country than current coalition, especially if it kept those fn Act loonies away from govt?

Counterpoint: Anyone who needs to work 72 hrs/wk to get their shit done, is either incompetent, a moron or both.

Wow never saw the revelation episode. I can distinctly remember being really frustrated that ole Mr S would disappear on BigBird at the wrong time.

I'd feel sorry for the workers if Oracle imploded, but man if anyone deserves some hubris payback it's that dick.

These cunts are the just playing to their base - laugh while the earth burns. (or floods in this case). We've seen enough to know they couldn't give a flying fuck about things that don't effect them.

Silly National party copy editor forgot the "In"

This is a damn fine metaphor. It even encapsulates Willis' disdain for boats. #nzpol

Is James May on here? James Gin should be represented www.gindulgence.co.nz/christchurch...

Any one else wake up and go to their favourite news site to check if WW3 has started while you were asleep or is it just me?

It's hard to be positive at the moment. Everything is shit. The All Blacks are shit. Our politicians are the bumbling incompetents from a Gresham novel. The young are leaving in droves to be with the hot neighbour. The weather is shit. Everything costs too much. Only saving grace is the Blackcaps.

Every day Luxon feels more and more like a character from a Douglas Adams novel.

It's always a roller coaster been a #Blackcaps fan, but on reflection the last 5-10 years have been pretty bloody good, on balance. We are the cricketing worlds quiet achievers. Just hope we can keep healthy and in form for the big test at the end of the year. #Cricket

I’m sure a small Earthquake on moving day isn’t an omen. Nope

Moving sucks.

WTF do we need these roads for? Not to drive to hospitals to get treatment that's for sure.

I won't name names, but just saw a post somewhere from an Engineering firm who create stuff for other engineers praising how great AI was for building demo apps by their marketing people with zero input from design and engineering. Not sure if it's really the message they want to be sending

Excitedly saw a video about Borland come up in my YT suggestions last night. Watched the first minute and had to stop as it was effectively just AI video with a horrible voice over. Script had a written by AI feel to it to. Really hope YT doesn't devalue into a AI slop fest.

Good to see 888 coming home. I like Will Brown and will support him. I won't be cheering for the cry baby jug head tho. #supercars

We are wonderfully lucky in this country. Just drove from Timaru to Wanaka. The roads are a bit dodgy at times, but the scenery is just stunning. #simplythebest

Going back to 2009 would be excellent. I made money selling apps on the App Store back then and it was glorious.

It's almost time for NY resolutions. Here's one as a society - instead of looking for the problems and negative in things and looking for ways to be offended, maybe we could pluck the joy and good out of things? Just try it for a day and see how it fits on you? I guarantee you will enjoy life more.

Merry Xmas for those that celebrate to all you good bastards on BlueSky. I've found a SM platform I enjoy again. Long may it continue
