Missing PM update. Spotted this evening on Onetangi ((Waiheke) not back at work. I saluted him with a single finger and he responded with a thumbs up. Knob.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

events in Venezuela really making me question the credibility of the fifa peace prize

Waiting for the criticism of Luxon and Seymour for wearing religious garments in solidarity that Ardern recieved.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

We have just finished the annual dust and polish of our trophy cabinets and what a glorious job the cleaners have done.

From National using generative ai still images in 2023 to this. Can’t wait to see what Topham Guerin does next year.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.

Auckland. 1967. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Any budding kiwi Cassetteboys out there? Luxon has the tone, the material and the look to take on Slim Starmer.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

FFS. What a bullshit speech. Fuck Winston, fuck this government.

OUT NOW ON EXIT FROM AFFCO: a short history exploring why "prominent NZers" keep on ending up in court, including the birth of the colony, the institutional cover-ups across NZ history, and the new elite building bunkers in the south island www.exitfromaffco.com/p/heiress-ki...

That was a very compelling, reasoned and, yes, passionate argument. Brownlee excels in ineptitude and hypocrisy. But, more importantly, where the fuck were all the MPs, the house was practically empty on both sides of the house? Spineless or otherwise.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

You’ve got to love Adam Curtis’s phrasing…

A must-read. Well done again, Andrea Vance. "C... is an incendiary word. But that doesn’t mean its use is indefensible — especially where the point is to expose entrenched misogyny and political betrayal." www.thepress.co.nz/politics/360...

Great emergency message. It cuts off potentially important information.

Did you see this floating around the interwebs today? Gave me a much needed laugh, especially the facials they chose

Jennings: This salute trutherism is outrageous.  Rampell: Do it right now on TV! If you think it’s a normal way to greet people, do it right now on TV. Why won’t you?!

Read it.

The failed Auckland Mayoral candidate Leo Molloy's misogynist campaign against a woman of colour, & former MP has been widely derided, & decried. Molloy's violence against women spans decades, & is a matter of public record www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-day-t... You'd think the matter would end there.

Remember, it's only called a Nazi salute if it comes from Bavaria. Otherwise it's a sparkling hand gesture.

Brings to mind this now deleted but classic tweet:

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

Loved the ADHD doco. Guy was almost likable in his vulnerability. Nice to see @publicaddress.bsky.social share some personal perspective. Does anyone know the proportion of population that present with ADHD?

Got to start somewhere....
