Incredible that CEOs have the same opinion of Luxon and Hipkins as most posters.

Latest @shaunvids.bsky.social video has a "NEW ZEALAND MENTIONED" part, because he's covering Lawrence Krauss being a dipshit about and that includes the The Listener letter thing. It's a relatively short video, at just over 4 hours: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyU5...

oh he's so fucking mad

@nogodsnomayors.com hot damn

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

Let men wear slutty clothes without over analysing it www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The reveal that many of Isaac's interview subjects have the same moral and ethical integrity as the dril drunk driving tweet never stops being astounding but hilarious.

There are a certain number of journalists who if they ever submit a media enquiry or interview request, I activate the littlest hobo protocol and burn my laptop and begin walking the earth pretending I've never heard of communications.

IT WOULD BE FUCKEN GREAT IF THE SCEPTICISM THAT THE NZ MEDIA HAS SHOWN TO "TYLENOL CAUSES AUTISM" COULD BE APPLIED TO "GENDER AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE IS BAD" BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH FUCKING LIES SPREAD BY THE FAR RIGHT

There was a non zero chance of Trump announcing Tylenol causes Antifa and signing an executive order declaring Autism a terror organisation.

"Foreigner set to be appointed Reserve Bank Governor" is definitely a headline. The fact its being reported by Bloomberg to be the first woman in the role, also probably should be noted.

We're going to have to accept that GWAR are more rational and sensible than the majority of the US political and media right now.

Can't wait to be compromised to a permanent end by a bunch of crayon eating dog shooting dipshits for cheering on Indiana Jones as he kills Nazis.

He needs to come out to Beyonce's Sorry.

tfw i come on here to tell everyone i have a new, obscure soccer history deep dive coming soon

Shit I got raptured I'm posting from the eternal hereafter now, Charlie Kirk got thrown out for bleeding on Malcolm X.

If I was going to pick something to say that it causes autism, paracetamol wouldn't have been it. Trains, too much internet, medieval history facts, vexillology, psephology, she Ra and the princesses of power. All right there, much more viable options.

Further pondering. We don't have an equivalent to this documentary, because the NZ Government acted swiftly and effectively, while the UK government was slow, corrupt and incompetent www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Got the panui from the COVID Royal Commission of Enquiry today and started to ponder what happens if stage two reports back and it's basically the same as stage one, which said everyone made the best decisions they could in the circumstances with the information they had available to them.

This is true if it's about the social media platform, hysterical if it's about the movie.

Teddy Long; tonight, you're going one on one with.... The Undertaker! *bell tolls*

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO OPEN THIS PACKAGE TO RIDE THE ROLLERCOASTER

Is it really "fast-tracking" or "accelerating" when it's basically restarting some of the 100-odd projects you iced a year ago, putting the construction sector into a nosedive? www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

The government are desperately trying to undo their own cuts to infrastructure building because it's fucked the economy lol

IT IS I FUCKEN KNEW IT www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

*shining a big calculator symbol onto the clouds to summon Craig Renney*

Is this not just restarting all the stuff they stopped in 2023 and 2024? You know, when they stopped projects with builders literally on site to save money for their tax cuts?

Today I'm listening to Hall and Oates which is always a sign my mental health is doing just fine thank you very much.

no charlie kirk joke i make will be as funny or insensitive as this

Credit to fenris, he's had a good go at this here.

Enjoying doing a little joke on bluesky dot com.

By announcing he recognizes the state of Palestine, Sir Keir Starmer has in fact taken and supported some Palestine Action. I regret to inform you that Sir Keir Starmer has been arrested under the Terrorism Act (2000) for lending material support to a proscribed terrorist organization.

So fun story. I used to do comms and media for my local football club in Auckland, including running the Live Tweet and updates on Facebook. We had a few games abandoned, due to weather conditions (and one big fight) and we'd get deluged with messages from overseas demanding the final result.

So Australia, Canada and the UK have all jointly announced they're recognizing a Palestinian state overnight. NZ is curiously absent from the group, with Luxon announcing it's up to Winston Peters to announce it at the UN when they meet because he's a self centered dramatic bitch.

An algo on tiktok keeps sending me celebratory turning point news like "150 new turning point chapters" "19000 membership enquires" "millions in donations" which comes across as maybe that guy was a huge drag on their potential and if he'd left sooner they could have achieved more?

I remember back in the old days, like 2012 or 13, a load of British columnists who are now foaming transphobes (and back then were denying they were foaming transphobes) all the time, announced a posters strike and twitter actually became a nice usable place for the whole period of time.

Timely.

"have some decorum", "violence is bad", "be careful what you say online"

Brian Roche going "look at the big numbers" and then it's revealed for Primary it's "from 1.43 percent to 2.52 percent pay increase in the first year, and between 1.3 percent and 2.1 percent in the second year" www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The UK Labour Party got into power by emulating Tony Blair's "ming vase strategy" of being so careful and slow and cautious not to do anything against a deeply unpopular Tory government. The real problem is that they succeeded and presented a ming vase to the UK people who DID NOT WANT A MING VASE.

2024 was 'survive until 25' 2025 is 'it'll be fixed in 26' 2026 will be 'economic heaven in 27' In 2027 it'll be 'Palantir is happy to announce former NZ PM Christopher Luxon has been appointed to the board, following the recent appointment of former NZ Finance Minister Nicola Wilis

Hey if you really want to irritate and demotivate a workforce that's understaffed and overworked who can literally leave for better paid opportunities overseas, this is exactly how I would do it. www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/573...
