Someone shone the Brad Dourif signal, I got here as fast as I could.

Helped a friend move house yesterday. They moved to the top of Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street. 35% gradient. Check brakes before ascending.

Honestly.

Woltemade is a big bit of kit eh

Those Labour Leader and Shadow Finance Minister speeches in full.

Yallah birds

It's because they looked from pig to man and from man to pig and... *gunshot rings out as I'm justifiably assassinated by the shut the fuck up about George Orwell hit squad*

"Come on ladies, come on ladies One pound fish..."

The problem with that Whamageddon thing is that Last Christmas is a stone cold banger and trying to avoid it proves that you don't truly understand the meaning of the season, to celebrate our Lord and Savior, Saint George Michael.

I do not know off the top of head what is in the oath an incoming government makes to the Governor General, but it seems like passing legislation you actually think is bad should be some kind of breach of it www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Thread time. These proposed local government reforms are being reported as the end of Regional Councils but actually they're probably the end of a lot of rural and smaller district councils in New Zealand. Not sure what I mean?

If the cops kill more people than the terrorist doesn't that make it a cop attack rather than a terror attack

The lesson from twitter was that if you're noticing how fucked up the owners are, it was time to leave six months ago.

The cops turning up and killing more people (2) than the terrorist (1), and upping the injured by 1/3 makes their intervention fast but ultimately more deadly than the terror attack.

I can't say I've ever gotten Swift but like, she's getting recursive now. A new album based on her experience of her most recent tour which was a showcase of all of her albums to date? It's a little bit ourobouros, y'know?

The perverts (derogatory) who run this site have to decide whether they want the perverts (complimentary) who make the site good to stay here.

Made a friend. Yes that's a white german shepherd. She's gorgeous.

"As she sang the lyrics and rose to her feet, the Kiwi Grammy winner paused to yell “Free f***ing Palestine” midway through the song. The crowd erupted in cheers." ebx.sh/r3B3w9?fbcli...

TIS THE FRUIT MINCE PIE SEASON AT LAST

If I wish to see virgins on screen I just log in to bluesky.app

This is going to get them shit but Defend Our Juries are maintaining a strong moral and logical argument for why they're protesting the stupidity of the proscribing of Palestine Action.

Ok his first name is jihad nominative determinism chalks up another one

The thing about Brown is that he is the best candidate for Mayor, this time around. He's not like Len, but he annoys the government as much as Len does.

I LOVE PROFESSIONAL COMMS

Jk Rowling will die one day and anyone sad about it will get laughed at

YOOOOOOOOO

I believe the source of this was the unjustified dismissal case that anti trans activist who works for Jordan Williams now. Plunket lost that case, and I believe had to pay up. He's now had to pay up again because he had a tantrum about it on air.

There's no rule saying you can't eat a sandwich with a fork.

Kash Patel turning up and handing a bag with SWAG written on it to the NZ Cops.

"We await coronial findings into this case." IF YOU HAD DONE THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GOT SLAPPED BY THE MEDIA COUNCIL FOR COMPLETELY SWALLOWING AN ANTI TRANS ACTIVIST PRESENTING YOU WITH LESS THAN HALF A STORY, WHO PUBLICLY CELEBRATED YOU DOING SO AS A VICTORY FOR ANTI TRANSGENDER ACTIVISM YOU CUNTS

*BREAKING: PLEASE REPOST* The Media Council has upheld complaints against RNZ, finding that the article about Alex lacked balance and failed to present alternative perspectives, particularly once information about Alex's own voice became publicly available. www.mediacouncil.org.nz/rulings/park...

Here it is, and it's pretty damning about RNZ failing to place the story in the context of it being given to them by a group called Resist Gender Education at all, and still barrelling on, and then defending it.

as reported in webworm today, the nz media council has ruled against RNZ, saying it lacked balance and fairness in its reporting over the death of trans teen alex. hopefully this encourages RNZ to look at all their reporting on trans issues - they need to (www.webworm.co/trainhopping/)

Media Council complaint about the Alex article upheld on grounds of fairness and balance, and it looks like Ruth Hill did a lot of work for Resist Gender Education and that the Media Council did recognise that the damn story was about his parents anti trans views.

Oh my fucking GOD

This is gaining traction in anti-COVID vax circles but none of them have clocked that it comes from a dataset spanning 2000-2020. The shots are so powerful they transcend time.

It turning out Tonty Blair was behind this is a depressing reveal

Being so bad at government you finally get the unions to cooperate on strike action .

Oh you dislike furries but your political and historical ideology is centred on Rome, the empire founded on sucking on some wolf titty?

incredible how transphobia is such a reliable bellwether for all the other terrible opinions someone holds

If your Klein be Naomi, then listen, homie; But if your Klein be Ezra, disregard what he sezra

If the City to Sea Bridge is saved, maybe it's time to remove the art made by the 67 year old man who maintained the sexual relationship they had with a 16 year old girl, for which they were convicted of indecent assault, was consensual. Kind of brings down the whole heart of the city thing.

Tim Jago appeal denied, stuff called them 'former political figure' in a headline. Huh.

Rūaumoko has the opportunity to do the funniest shit imaginable.

Hey why did NZ bring in some pretty stringent earthquake safety rules anyway?

Bad Bunny, the wrestler?

I didn't know how right I would be god damn, I love the bit where small towns can go fuck themselves.

My shuffle just sent me through Carly Rae Jepsen's 'When I Needed You', SOPHIE 'Immaterial Girl' and now Caroline Polachek's 'So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings' and that's a damn good run.
