Spull! How long do we think he would tolerate being on the backbenches?

What would you trust Vance, Witkoff and Kushner to do?

Naturally, the US regime is now backpedalling to align with its ally…

I guess we all know the answer to this now!

So. Are we all now clear on why we don’t let the real estate guys handle the global geopolitics?

The US has declared victory, saying it has achieved its objectives of spending tens of billions of dollars and causing thousands of deaths in order to return things to roughly as they were before the war started. Read more: theshovel.com.au/2026/04/08/us-claims-huge-victory-straight-of-hormuz/

I think I know how this happened…

It’s good to see someone from the government say something like this, but the tone is still “Let’s wait and see if the President of the US is *actually* going to commit War Crimes and Genocide, because maybe he’s just shitposting.” Which is a hell of a place to be, regardless.

So the Artemis II mission is basically a family road trip with squabbling kids: - careful choreographing of who sits where and when - t-shirt jammed in the window to stop whining about bright light - everyone playing on their iPads - should have gone to the toilet before they left

Americans in 2026: “Well using the 25 Amendment is more likely to succeed in removing our head of state who is manifestly unfit for office and has led us into an unwinnable war; but impeachment is the more appropriate process politically...” Italians in 1945:

Your president promised war crimes for next week, and you still haven't dragged his arse out of the white house

Hmmmmm

If you see this, post a concert photo that you took. Just One Fix

Spotify coming in hard with the low blows this morning

As problematic as many, many aspects of this timeline are, at least it is one in which there is a very real chance that Ice T will play the part of Afroman when the biopic is made. Just watch this… youtu.be/rE8mtNCsihE?...

Post a pic you took , no context , to bring some zen to the feed

@maxjohns.nz @mandab.com @danxduran.bsky.social I think can now officially shut #CoverWeakly down. youtu.be/Sc2m4w9h0cw?...

So I hope Pulp are loud tonight. I forgot to charge my hearing aid. #OldGuyGoesToAGig

It’s official. Oat “milk” isn’t milk. 5 law Lords of the UK Supreme Court have said so. The case was over when the Rt Hon Lord Hodge, Deputy President of the Supreme Court, requested senior counsel to address him on the issue of “How do you milk an oat, anyway? www.bailii.org/cgi-bin/form...

I’m not sure the New Zealand favourite Per Capita Medal Table is really fit for purpose for a Winter Olympics. What we need here is a Per Centimetre of Average Annual Snowfall Medal Table.

I haven’t read this whole judgment yet. But I think the judge should have put a spoiler alert on the footnote on the *very first page* that says: “see also Magna Carta, Article 39.”

How it started/How it’s going…

Accurate

Post a car picture you took

@dieworkwear.bsky.social what do you think of the Prime Minister of New Zealand’s suit?

If you’re in Seattle or visiting give this dude your patronage. Five stars. I’m laughing so hard it hurts.

Neighbour of mine used to live up this way ‘Til age overtook him and he couldn’t stay He kept an old bit of roofing iron in the creek And he fed the eels that sheltered there I haven’t seen him in quite a while And I wonder what happened to the eels.

I’m not normally a fan of movie sequels, but this could be good

Is it just me, or since the US has gone nuts with the whole ICE thing, has the NZ Police Association gone very quiet on its usual demands that NZ police officers should be regularly armed?

Dear every business that uses a <lastname.firstname@…> email address format, Please stop doing that and just be normal. Yours etc.

I’ll admit that “Makes it harder to find escaped monkeys” was not on my Bingo Card of “Problems that generative AI may cause”…

All def, no leppard.

*doomscrolls Events in America* “Maybe having a national leader that does fuck-all isn’t so bad after all?” #AotearoaThoughts

This is excellent news. For far too long, far too many early Saturday morning kids’ sports games have not had a coffee truck in attendance meaning whoever cracks first and goes off to find a cafe has to politely offer to buy every other parent a coffee.

Oh no. He’s gonna display Maduro on TV, isn’t he, like some latter day parade of Vercingetorix?
