the end result of Trump 2 is going to be the complete collapse of the institutional right into an incoherent soup of billionaires and grifters all busy stabbing each other in the back they spent decades constructing this infrastructure and it’s all coming tumbling down

Looks like a British Type 31 Frigate :-P

Well there we have it, the bastard intercepting the BUFF I have also see Tui dogfight the Aussie Magpies as well, and believe me the Aussies do not stick around

Unless the regime can get this built by the election, its a non-starter - the next govt will simply cancel it. Which ought to deter any businesses involved as well.

Staunch bloody bastards to is our Tui I have seen them "incept" the BUFF of our Native Birds - the Kereru and by god it is not a very pretty sight. Nor is is very silent either as you hear the BUFF flapping like mad trying to out manoeuvr the bastard only to end up all feathers and arse

Time to visit family on the other side of Marsden Bay. And what better way to get there by catching the tram from my front door to their front door via some very spectacular waterfront views! This is the express version for those needing a bit of Warp Speed in their diet. #CitiesSkylines2

Avoiding the Xmas Highway Blues with Trans Marsden Rail Line 2 | #citiesskylines2 Avoiding the those highway blues : Riding the Trans Marsden Rail Line 2 through Marsden Point Avoiding the those highway blues : Riding the Trans Marsden Rail Line 2 through Marsden Point. Why get stuck in highway…

The Ministry has put the call out for Planners to write the Standardised Zones. Yes I put my hand up to assist (got to go through standard recruitment processes of course) More on how Japan which Bishop wants us to emulate could influence this here: voakl.net/2025/04/04/a...

My kid is 14. He uses discord to talk to friends when playing Minecraft and dnd. He has no interest in FB or instagram or TikTok, but a social media hard-cap of age 16 would limit his social life unnecessarily with no benefit. Ffs, direct policy at platforms not users. Or ban boomers as well.

That reminds me: TOP are advertising for potential candidates to run in next year's elections

The catch is Bishop has the sheer bloody mindedness to push through some very necessary reform foundations Labour were just absolutely piss weak in. He also along with Wayne Brown appointed a very progressive Hearings Panel to Auckland's PC120. The fact it pissed off the developers shows both

Given even the Australians who produce LNG like it was going out of fashion cant make it stack, is this a case of dodgy Nicola-nomics. The same dodgy nicola-nomics that cost us IREX and lost us $28.3b off the economy since 2023?

Tamaki's fascist antics have managed to piss off the Free Speech Union AND the ACT Party on the way out That is some achievement Now for the police and the GCSB to stop playing cuddles with Tamaki and join the IRD in breaking Destiny's back once and for all!

The express version is available for those ahem short on time these Xmas holidays. #CitiesSkylines2 youtu.be/2t0PljDnz1c

Why get stuck in highway traffic or even airport queues this Xmas season only to then circle for ages finding a car park while the kids scream ARE WE THERE YET?! Time to take the train with Marsden Rail on the Trans Marsden Rail Line 2, going from east to west and back again! #CitiesSkylines2

Yeah nah That alone is worth active campaigning AGAINST Hipkins and his white stale ideology Greens and TPM it is

Yeah... As a Māori ex Labour voter I don't believe for a second he's gonna be good for Māori, just look at his behaviour over the years to TPM and his treatment of Wāhine Māori in Greens, particularly Tamatha Paul but also Maramara around her straight white men statement. #nzpol

There goes the Fire Station's alarm again Weather is wet and windy outside

Winston says No anyway www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Congestion Charging Spanners RoNS as 4 lane highways in Auckland and Wellington. Aka Bishop learns when you price driving on roads correctly, the apparent case for 4 lane highways collapse as cheaper upgrades deliver greater benefits businessdesk.co.nz/article/infr...

So why did you appoint him as Chair you dipshit (Little that is)

I appreciate this graphic issued by the NZ Central Sikh Association in response to the Destiny racists for its inspiring message of anti-discrimination, mutual aid and unity across ethnic & faith communities, and also its subtle reminder that Sikhs are known badasses so why would you fuck with them.

New Zealand just recorded its first-ever day of zero coal- or gas-fired electricity. In fact two days, 20 & 21 December. (Still some co-gen, about 1.8%.)

Given if National drops under 30 in the party vote, anyone being List only faces being sent packing out of parliament Also shows National not going to risk it in Wellington either as it would be a lightning rod to a huge amount of backlash

Three Waters anyone Or did your racism cloud your judgement worse than the nitrates in your water?

Ditto Pottering away with some #CitiesSkylines2 content, reading the Planning Act, and National Direction updates, and still the odd rambling on LinkedIn when an international connection posts Planning content Hmmmm

The economy is smaller than 2023 by $28.3 billion dollars

Wayne Brown having a clanger on RNZ: says would be better if Council ran the police in Auckland, not Wellington Wayne advocating for Auckland to be a City State like Singapore, with him as Praetor of the Tāmaki Makaurau Senate?

I still find it rather amusing although thankful Bishop actually appointed progressives to the PC120 Hearings Panel. Wayne Brown technically did as well. So a very progressive panel and yep the property development sector is whinging like hell, which means Bish and Wayne got it right

Wellington needs to collect their cats and go out and touch the grass some more OR Rest of Aotearoa is giving Wellington the largest side eye right now and Auckland is going, yeah wasn't me

He knows National is toast under Luxon, and he really hates Seymour. But Hipkins should be denouncing Winston after his Anti Trans Policy shit that the Courts have put an interim ruling on and a scathing one at that Dont cuddle Winston, let him die in the political cold reality of being alone

A generation that grew up on The Simpson's monorail episode shouldn't be buying any of this, and yet.

Cities are organisms and very complex heterogenous organisms at that (hence why they are the apex of our civilisation) So here are some Human Experience concepts to make your city just that little bit more liveable Some renderings are AI enhanced

FFS did Geordi cause another coolant leak in Main Engineering again?

When your unchristian fundamentalism is put at the forefront of national health policy it is time to leave parliament permanently Via a trip to the stockades in Aotea Square for a date with some very over ripe Tomatoes on the way out

After slashing $7b worth of infrastructure projects in 2023 Remember our first IREX boat would be doing revenue services just in time for the Xmas rush by now. But thanks to Willis we have to wait until 2029 for sub optimal replacements instead

Until further notice

Another way to restart the world’s idea machine is to restore funding and grants to universities, researchers, and artists.
