I suppose if we’re gonna have corruption anyway then at least make it corruption that builds cycling infrastructure www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

WATCH: Another video shows the massive explosion in Ezeiza, Argentina, no word on casualties.

Imagine going to a record shop in November 1977, and having enough money for a single, and being torn between “Name Of The Game” and “How Deep Is Your Love”, an absolutely brutal decision (Anyone saying that it’s an easy choice because one of them is obviously better will be blocked and reported)

As Corporal Jones would say "Don't panic, Mr. Mainwaring" BUT holly #Aurora Alert Batman! There's a big fuck off Aurora going off right now & for the next 24hrs. If this keeps up, it will visible from Auckland New Zealand after dark. Moon doesn't rise till 2:45am tomorrow so no issue.

/3 Meanwhile, she actually gives a shit about carceral culture and has used fame and influence to try to encourage clemency in actual cases impacting actual lives. I have the bog-standard old man view of Kardashian Kulture, but her heart seems to be in the right place on this.

since you get datamined 24/7 and have to take your shoes off at the airport anyway, we should be allowed to get silly with passport photos

Just call it what it is: corruption. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Is it good when a major international news organization is actively soliciting stories about people leaving your country because the government has fucked it so hard?

A, and I do mean A, CAB.

Well, this story just got a lot fucking worse. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jevon-mcs...

"He said the net interest margin - the difference between what banks pay for deposits and charge for lending - was 2.6 percent for ANZ in New Zealand compared to 1.83 percent in Australia." Do you want regulation? Because this is how you get regulation.

Game of Wool episode two. Knitters must make a two piece output for a dog. These are the essential aspects of headgear 🥹🤣

If you still think pickleball and padel are the same game, you need to watch some of this weekend‘s padel World Cup. This fakeout smash off the glass is ridiculously good shit. Pickleball can get in the sea.

Luxon thinks we need a "mature conversation" about selling state assets... But I don't think he really means that, because a mature conversation would look at the history of failure and the shortsighted focus on profit ahead of public interest. He wants a conversation where we agree with him.

Ardern and Shaw, willfully or no, were taken for a ride by National and Fed Farmers on climate change. Nats/Feds delayed climate action with false promise of seeking 'consensus'. As soon as they had the power they ditched He Waka Eke Noa and 'Zero Carbon Act'. Don't get fooled again.

Highest unemployment in 9 years. Total rockstar shit.

Despite the goooofy title, minus one was seriously a great movie. Looking forward to Goo

Pick yourself - I’m a soy-faced pyjama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchik.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL Tom Daley’s Game of Wool episode one today! The “yarn barn” is just comfy sofas and it’s so lovely! Turn off the bullshit and watch something nice. you’ll probably need to pirate it.

This is how they prevent heists at our national museum

Whoever at @akltransport.bsky.social is responsible for the ATPark app: well done. It’s an unexpectedly simple and delightful app, especially for public sector. Also it’s so easy to use, it makes me lol at people complaining about parking tickets.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

My wife has discovered origami cats and now they all want to be fed.

Listening to a podcast about the birth of UFC, I now want some classics scholar to overlay the timeline of Roman gladiator combat against our path from boxing->UFC so that I know how far away we are from feeding christians to lions. Because like, it's _weird_ right?

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

I get embarrassed when millennials mock the "67" thing on the basis that "at least 69 had meaning." None of this is intellectual. We used to say ROFLcopter and laugh at Nyan cat. It's all just stimming and references for references sake. There's been no fall from grace! Get over yourselves!

Nicola Willis saying Labour’s CGT policy will stunt economic growth is so funny like girl what growth is the growth in the room with us?

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Remember to check in on your champagne socialist friend with 3 rental properties and remind them that all of their gains over the last 20 years are entirely untaxed. It’s a hard time for them, but don’t let them stealth-vote National because of ignorance.

Labour's new capital gains tax policy appears good if a little weak- I'm all for excluding the family home but farm land is a business asset and there's no reason someone making a gain on selling a farm should avoid tax that someone selling a warehouse or a shop building has to pay

It's beginning to look a lot like the do nothing policy of not spending money or time or energy on mitigating climate change nationally and internationally was ... really bad economics? (Just like everyone with any knowledge told us it would be.) www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Nicola Willis calling your policy "a terrible idea" is the biggest vote of confidence you could ask for tbh.

Listening to this today for no particular reason www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwP-...

UAE manager Matxin says they're planning Pogačar's 2026 season and a 5th Tour de France is the (obvious) main goal. Everything else revolves around this and chances of doing the Vuelta are low (read zero), even if one year they'll want to try and win it cyclingpro.net/spaziociclis... (🇮🇹)

us-east-1 is always the worst case scenario

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

bro I just wanted to work out why the php type debugger called "psalm" is giving me an error. but go off projecting your lifelessness I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re-upping this thread in light of @ben.gracewood.nz uncovering that there is no record of David Seymour ever being told (as he had claimed) that alcohol warning labels hamper craft brewers ... a non-issue that would require us to break from our international agreements to fix ...

Well, as expected, Seymour talked to precisely no craft beer business. fyi.org.nz/request/3228...

"Seymour said he visited a craft beer business struggling with the requirement to use red in pregnancy warning labels." Which craft beer business specifically? David has a long history of bullshitting on "people are saying".

caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

Share this far and wide. Make jokes about it. Embarrass the heck out of Seymour. (arrogant prick) #nzpol
