So fun fact; this is the effect an angry, unreasonable and nasty customer can have on someone. Merry xmas

god damn the opposite camera's views of each of their faces is peak schadenfreude

It can be really difficult to be a retail or hospo worker this time of year...people can be real difficult under the stress of the season. So when a customer takes the time to do a really nice thing like this for us, it shines really brightly Even made my grinchy self smile

Always nice to get a scientific poll to remind us that TalkBack radio and the Facebook comment section are not actually representative of public opinion www.phcc.org.nz/briefing/pub...

These articles always talk about the billions of dollars of gold - but that is effectively the money that is going overseas, leaving kiwis with pennies in the dollar. In 2024/2025 the NZ Govt received a total of $143 million from all mining, all sources. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Post-war period fascinates me - we built *loads* of infra and houses but public debt levels fell. There must be things we can take from that era to inform what we do next. Also fascinates me that the 1980 to 2008 period is considered a success - we maxed out our private debt, and what did we build?

#NZpol If Batchelor is this upset that when he slouches past a café people start muttering "There's the racist", a great way around it I've found is [checks notes] not being an actual racist, mounting a tour across the country ranting 100% racist BS, and dropping racist leaflets, funded by racists.

Definitely worth a listen if you haven’t already #nzpol

The numbers aren't even fucking real; you are intentionally being played by botnets that Twitter itself maintains for false engagement. This has been verified multiple times. It's a fake social media site run by nazis that you are giving your artwork, fandom and writing to support. Cut the cord.

If a left wing govt did this it would be called fraud. #NZPol

Families fight to put food on the table. Meanwhile the ACT Party and Coalition Government spent $150,000 on a 'Road Cone hotline'. Closing after 6 months & 200 cones removed, costing Kiwis ~$750 per cone (and they gutted Worksafe - putting real lives at risk!) We too wish this was satire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

VERY much for this! this looks great, the old heads in council that voted against it can get in the sea...no cycle lanes there to hurt them

A survey from the Public Health Communication Centre Aotearoa found that more people support increasing investment in urban cycleways than oppose it (41% vs 35%). Results indicate significantly higher support amongst younger people, Māori, and those in the highest income bracket.

You're not meant to SAY the "we have to keep the lowest paid poor so everyone else knows they're better than them"

Narrator - She did not resign #nzpol

What a goddamn joke, never should have happened and was only set up to appease grey haired know it alls www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

You know what - I think I get why good hearted people are disillusioned and tapped out of politics. Because when you're not part of a marginalised group, largely unaffected by this govts policies, then you can willingly step away from politics and focus on the good stuff in your life.

The Christmas tree in the octagon (central city Ōtepoti) features three of Aotearoa Te Waipounamu languages (official & de facto). Are there any other public christmas trees in this country that feature NZSL as well as te reo Māori and English? #SecretSantaAoNZ image description in reply

What dastardly, murderous fucks are behind the bondi shooting. Australias nazi scene?

Video, I believe recorded off of local TV, of a bystander disarming one of the two killers.

Love that the disabled kid also said "you know, instead of banning by age they could try banning by behavior, which they never seem to do"

IT'S ALIIIIIVE my solar is working! Running our cars/appliances on FUSION POWER

Very telling that the Guardian Weekly article showing teenagers' reactions to Australia's social media ban have a bunch of healthy kids saying "Annoying but no biggie, I can wait two years" and one very disabled one saying "welp there goes my entire world."

This heading is missing the words ILLEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW. 🧐

Boy am I glad the first replacements for these ferries will be arriving in Feb 2026, with port upgrades at Picton and Wellington nearing completion after two and a half years of work. Oh wait, hold on a second, just hearing that ferries won't be here until 2029. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...
