No way to predict this, says Government of nation whose media outlined exactly this scenario 16 months ago.

SICKOS FUCKEN YES LEVELS OFF THE CHARTS. DO IT MOTHERFUCKERS. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Brodude farmerguy on the radio saying the Watties closure was because there was too much compliance and paperwork. I call bullshit on that. Are you telling me farmers in Australia have less paperwork and lower wages?

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

Auckland sky has gone ridonkulous

In a sane political environment, the iReX debacle would have the current government unelectable this November. In a term chocka block with monumental cock ups, this has be pretty much in the no. 1 position. #nzpol

WE WOULD HAVE A CENTURY PROOFED PORT AT PICTON AND WELLINGTON BY NOW. TODAY. RIGHT NOW. TWO BIG ASS RAIL FERRIES PURPOSE BUILT FOR THE COOK STRAIT SWELLS. NOW. HIGH QUALITY QUAKE PROOFED PORTS FOR OUR SHAKY ISLES. BUT NO. NO. WE DON'T GET "MINIMUM VIABLE" UNTIL TWENTY TWENTY FUCKING NINE!

AAAAAGH they're still going to have to replace the entire Picton Portside because it was munted and that's what iRex was doing, they're still going to have to build temporary buildings while they do that and that's what iRex was doing, they're going to need mor shit at Wellington and that's what iRe

Could we just perhaps have a little enquiry about the rapid rise of antivax rhetoric and the impacts of vaccine hesitancy? As a treat?

This actually feels really reassuring I get the appeal

This is so ridiculous. Pro Cycling needs a salary cap system ASAP. UAE cannot continue to just buy up anyone who is a threat. www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/paul-... #procycling #cycling

I imagine Peters will now use this RC's findings, that the asked for, to put the fears and doubts of his followers to rest

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I won't be taking any lectures from this government about the previous government's ability to communicate complex issues clearly. #NZPol

This guy is lowkey the best channel on YouTube these days. youtu.be/X36u56I36rg?...

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone! The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

RATIONING DIALYSIS

Persist against all odds

Luxon’s mates in cabinet are like

"The only thing I am considering is the future of our children and grandchildren." Who even speaks like that? Luxo is just so weird.

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

This is my favourite screen on the Bosch ebike when there’s a war on in the Middle East.

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.

“March madness” is the name coined for terrible new school year traffic in Auckland. Also a good way to describe sitting in your car when you could be riding on a March day like today!

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

I’m in the US military and I’m about to make a fortune betting against me surviving a drone strike. The other gamblers don’t know how slow I run

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

uh oh

#MarchMadness is back. As people return to their commutes, motorways are once again hitting breaking point. There is a silver lining: we don’t need everyone to ditch the car to fix it. Here's how 👉 https://www.bikeauckland.org.nz/news/keep-march-breezy-beat-the-heat-and-the-commuter-blues/

Rising gas prices hate this one weird urban trick.

Wait Lebanon has nukes now too?

In recent years, Bilbao has quietly built a cycling network shaped by lessons from the Netherlands: calmed where it can be, protected where it must be, and always comfortable and connected. The result? You can now pedal across the city on infrastructure made for everyone—not just the fit and brave.

Apparently bicycles do not exist. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei killed, senior Israeli official says reut.rs/4rLPrBs

Hey Chris Luxon, remind me again how much solar energy passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

An interesting, impromptu thread from someone who worked on the Nokia N-Gage.

We are so back 😎

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

The fuckwit health minister and his lackeys in Health NZ leadership fired a ton of IT staff and now there are major tech failures every other week. Opposition needs to hammer them on this - it's a direct connection between their bullshit "back office" cost cutting and patient harm.

Green Lane West in the heart of the isthmus is home to new housing, key bus routes...and the measliest painted bike lanes. In 2023, Auckland Transport designed a protected two-way cycleway—but then shelved it. Now we're daylighting that plan, to ask: WHY? www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2026/02/26/h...

This won't make a material difference to me personally, but holy fuck electricity is continuously getting more expensive, and this is BEFORE the LPG tax goes on right? #laserfocussed #rockstareconomy

Gen Z heart technology is reaching unprecedented levels

TI (finally fucking) L: what Claude Code calls an "agent" is not the concept of an "agent" that I had in my head. They in fact have partially deprecated what they called an "agent" and now call it a "subagent" in their Agent Teams documentation 🤦

We've got a new "no slop" commandment

$4 for a can of 185g tuna seems utterly insane to me the grocery store situation in this country is completely untenable.

Tim Murphy’s “omg everyone hates Luxon” piece is so funny bro white bread is up 60%, there’s no jobs, there’s literal shit in the air in the capital city, people responsible for the engines of economy are leaving in droves, no workers rights, no action on climate change, voter suppression 🤷🏽‍♀️
