What's your favourite song about rain? youtu.be/alKDz9sz4nY

Baked chicken taquitos for tea, because I’m all about avoiding deep-frying! Along with my patented black bean and corn salsa, sour cream, and some lettuce to appease the roughage gods.

Mamdani‘s going to institute Shakira law - these hips don’t lie! 👯‍♀️

I saw the article on Stuff and thought I would add: we buy a lot of fresh veg, but struggle with eating it before it turns to green slime, until we bought some of those ‘fridge keeper’ balls designed to remove Ethylene gas - now stuff lasts, crisp and fresh, for weeks www.temu.com/goods.html?_...

Regulatory Standards Bill will expose the SPCA to penalty if they remove abused animals; it will expose taxpayers to compensate suspected criminals for confiscated assets; farmers can do as they want; Peter Thiels can build bunkers anywhere. A terrible bill with > 98% opposed. #nzpol

BREAKING: President Trump has issued an all-points bulletin for an individual known as Mr. Otis Lifts - an as-yet-unidentified actor in the escalator terrorist attack at the UN FBI Director Patel is heading a task force comprising Homeland Security, the NSA and his own agency #APB #FBI #BUFFOONS

Because the Pacific Islands were the one of the only other places not to recognise Palestine I went on a deep dive and found that Israel brainwashes the Pacific Islanders with a Christian Zionism doctrine to the point islanders even make pilgrimage to Israel: www.rnz.co.nz/news/pacific...

I was listening to The Great Gig In The Sky and wondering whether it was the greatest prog rock song ever, which led me to From The Beginning and Oh Lucky Man, then back to Echoes Then I remembered that I wasn’t 16 & I really love Amy Winehouse and Sarah Jarosz #progress #growing #MusicIsAJourney

Should NZ make it past Canada in the Semi-finals, I don't think we will be facing either Ireland or France, given the showing tonight. I can't see either team troubling England. Just a lack of dynamic play, slow ball, uninspiring inability to go forward from both teams #RWC2025

I expected more of France, tbh. Maybe it's because the mens team is the All Blacks bete noir? Ireland showing them little respect - the weather is for shite, though. 35 phases camped on the French 5M line at half time and nothing to show for it. A proper arm-wrestle #RWC2025

This is something @nzlabour.bsky.social need to work on. Stop being scared of being radical. Stop trying to be all things to all people - you can't. Pick a lane - preferably the lane that focuses wholly on the waged and the businesses they work for. Kia kaha www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pull their license to operate, in that case. It was given to them on the back of a business case that involved running regional air transport Now they just want to pick the eyes from the profitable routes and leave the rest to spin.

Noticeable how quickly Australians leap to “deport him to NZ” when he has been in Australia since before he first went to school and is 100% a homegrown Nazi. Why do they think we should be the dumping ground of all their social fuckups? we’re not a carpet to sweep your muck under

Fuck trump 🤬

I am very upset - I cannot believe President Macron would risk damaging such an important part of French history as to loan the incredibly fragile 950-year-old Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum We went to Bayeux to see this piece of history in its purpose-built home tinyurl.com/2763fp27

My son in law is VERY English He loves UK, especially the wild places, natural beauty, etc. and despite having a hundred Kiwi rallies, has never been interested in visiting. The other day he saw a travel series on NZ and was blown away - he cornered my daughter and asked her 'how could you leave?'

Anya Krogh Manghezi, the director of children and youth at Høje-Taastrup municipality, said: “We have taken a closer look at our behaviour. We assessed that we have done nothing wrong” This is horrendous - really smacks of coloniser control www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Given govt claims that teachers are paid very well and shouldn't be striking for pay increases, an academic friend passed along this chart. It begs the questions: who is more valuable for NZ society? Who is delivering more worth?

Yay! They should invite Stanford to hand out the prize. Ha!

Here's Chlöe Swarbrick's speech, that led the Speaker to throw her out of the House. Clearly makes the case for New Zealand to recognise the genocide and ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza and the West Bank, and for it to recognise the state of Palestine. youtu.be/yc6oLAzbqoQ

I’ve never heard of an airline boss threatened with jail for causing a breakdown in labour relations I wonder why that is? I guess governments aren’t really for the people, after all www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
