Oh great. More stuff to have the recipe changed to horrible-tasting sweetners 🙄

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

Our mission was to tire out the pug so he would be cool when taken to a work party. Progress:

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers. Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023. Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

MIL got confused, unbuckled and attempted to leave the car in an 80km zone today. Between that and puzzling over the identification of sparrows I almost think she ain't doing so good

Ice hotels aren't as eye wateringly expensive as I would've thought — M however is all "the. bed. is. ice"

The overwhelmingly positive experiences of trans youth on puberty blockers

‘Shockingly inappropriate overreach of politics’: Doctors slam puberty blocker pause www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

I think we may have started overusing "bro" as a pejorative. Some of these guys are just classic losers.

Listening to the reassuring chuntering about how it's just sensible to renege on this or that tepid climate commitment and Rhea Seehorn's read of "you are traitors to the human race" weirdly keeps playing

Every single journalist or news outlet that uses or quotes the word "woke" without explaining what it means is facilitating and encouraging bigotry.

Absolutely fuck these people. Politicians overruling medical professionals is a shit position.

Restricting the availability of puberty blockers to trans kids but allowing them for cis kids is a blatant violation of NZBORA (1990) and the Human Rights Act (1993). This will undoubtedly end up in court - very quickly as the subject of a Judicial Review.

Pretty astounding in Juggernaut how people are still proud of their work strengthening precarity in NZ this long on.

Do you rely on others for support? From the new Private Eye, out now.

mumbling the Naomi mnemonic to myself to figure out how to read a skeet

Look what landed today!

I'm sure it's coincidental that most of the *anti-woke* people are also racist.

DHS, LAW ENFORCEMENT? DOES NOT. PEPPER SPRAY CHILDREN!!

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

I identify less with my astrological sign than I do with the way people describe my dog. Like, I guess I'm a Capricorn but I'm for sure "treat motivated."

At every turn, the Government has opted for whatever would actually lead to more pollution and a warmer world – even if it costs more, jeopardises NZ’s reputation, overturns a campaign promise or clashes with the Government’s other priorities. The long retreat: newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/07/g...

The trap in this story looks like one of these from an NZ company — I have two I'll be setting out www.hawkeye.kiwi/products/pes...

I accept the basic premise that building a coalition requires bringing in people whose values don't align with mine, which means swallowing some dead rats; but still, would be a bit more convinced if the people making that argument were good at, ya know, winning.

One of my favourite things about NZ politics is there's only two possible categories for ideas: It'll never work here & We can definitely make it work despite it failing elsewhere #nzpol

Bask in the unfeasible glory that is Aotearoa New Zealand's only locally designed and built Tank.

I guess I reflexively resist engaging with art when the creators call it "content" the same way I wouldn't order a dish that a restaurant lists only as "stuff."

David Simon: I have created the police rewards system from The Wire as a cautionary tale... NZ politicians:

Here's some political wisdom for people in NZ. Whether you announce a tiny capital gains tax with a ton of exemptions pinned to a minor healthcare upgrade. Or whether you announce a massive capital gains tax and promise free healthcare for all, you will get the exact same response from the right.

Your Halloween costume is "sexy" + the last thing you web searched Sexy Spock Mononym

Sorokin's The Blizzard, what a bonkers book.

Well I was wondering what the retribution for the cancel party the coalition did at the start of their term needed to be. Rug pulling Collins' arms deals & any gas exploration seems a good start.

Mystified how the energy market & how capacity isn't getting built in NZ stories don't all start with "generation in NZ is financially rewarded for closely matching supply & demand, so it not being built as demand goes up sure is a puzzler!"

This photo only partially captures the contempt this pug has for the very idea of going onto the wet grass

BMO has gradually accepted that Bitey Face is still a good game

Busy afternoon, bracketed by other high energy go-getters

Poisoning on Parker Road is very much around the places the kids grew up

No NZ KPop Demon Hunters singalong sessions??
