Somehow did a #bhn live stream on Mobile data last night. But today - we back bb! Better than ever!!

#BHN is back bb!! @xkaosmagex.bsky.social and I are kicking off 2026 tonight at 9pm! We've got A LOT of news to catchup on, but we'll ease you into it through the week. Tonight: - Luxon's BORING State of the Nation Address - Farewell Tim Shadbolt - A Tough Summer for NZ Festivals See you there!

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

We can retire this meme. A greater one has emerged.

Our final rent payment has been paid! Next one is to the bank! I feel so incredibly blessed, I just wish everyone had the privilege of home security.... 😕 Bittersweet.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I swear he was mayor for almost my entire life. He was always happy to come to community events and special occasions around the City. An absolute political mad man but a great advocate for Invercargill.

My backup PC - It Lives!! I will never let this thing go... It was the first and only PC I've bought myself. It's dead slow and the battery is cooked but it's still good for on the go stuff. (DW I fixed the date)

This is my life right now and boy is it stressing me out. I hope I can sell/donate a lot of stuff. I'd be pissed to dump good stuff..... :(

Holy balls this was such a good article! Please read!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! Have a wonderful day and take care of yourselves ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄

Got sooo burnt in the last 2 days. Very noticeable where I missed spots, but could have been worse! PLEASE get yourself ANY sunscreen and slip slop slap. And I recommend sunscreen specifically for the face like the neutrigena face fluid. Yes, it's greasy but sunburn is worse!!

Tania Waikato, yes THAT Tania Waikato has announced their candidacy for the 2026 elections with THE GREEN PARTY Can we get a WOOT WOOT! tr.ee/Ad9tdSLyZ0

It's officially official. I'm an award winning podcaster. Thanks @patbrittenden.bsky.social for making something to put on my shelf :)

You know what - I think I get why good hearted people are disillusioned and tapped out of politics. Because when you're not part of a marginalised group, largely unaffected by this govts policies, then you can willingly step away from politics and focus on the good stuff in your life.

It's a Big Bright Hairy News show tonight! #BHN - BHN's own awards to mark the end of the year - Let's recap the insanity that was this latest season of South Park - The future of the gaming industry; consumption of consumer hardware by AI and indie studios dominating See you soon!

#BHN Tonight at 9pm - Westpac increases mortgage rates after OCR drop, @clrenney.bsky.social joins us LIVE to discuss - More polls out today, the right bloc still in charge - NZ looking at the social media ban in Australia @chewienz.bsky.social #nzpol #nzpolitics youtube.com/live/hoEsq3G...

Noooow we're celebrating this amazing infrastructure for chch city. All of those people that complained about the cost blowout, the lack of parking, the location etc etc won't even think about it again. And What an amazing event to launch it!

Don't forget to vote #bhn fam!! Will be announcing the results THIS Friday, our last Bright Hairy News show for 2025 😭 @xkaosmagex.bsky.social

'slim pickings' absolutely does not apply here 🤣🤣🤣

"Urgency has become the default mechanism for dealing with Parliamentary legislation and the standing orders are not followed and you also have extended sittings - and both of those mean the Government's agenda is completely at the will of the Government," #nzpol

Tonight #BHN at 9pm with Pink Pat and Regular Chewie 📌Mariameno V Tamihere, the fight challenge Mariameno's expulsion from TPM begins. 📌Seymour needs a cookie after smarmy scrutiny week responses 📌Luxon again questioned about the difference in opinion emerging from the party's front bench

Tell me Ryan Bridge is an ass without telling me Ryan Bridge is an ass.🙄 Honestly this principal needs an award for being so polite. I would have been fuming ffs

God forbid the public service have someone within their community be brave enough to stand up and voice their opinion when the govt is fucking them over. Making they have lots to say because yall keep making reasons for them to say something... 🤔

Tonight I announced the #BHN awards. If you'd like to vote on any or all of our categories clink the link. We'll have the voting open for 2-3 weeks. Date TBC #nzpol forms.gle/45iz3Y1AGRsx...

"The Ministry of Justice found 80.2 percent of submitters opposed the bill, with 0.5 percent supporting it." Yeah but big number submissions are all bots these days and rallied by social media campaigns (sarcasm) - Oh look!! It was only 2700 submissions 🙄

So proud to see a #bhn award winning podcaster, economic demistifyer, data nerd, excellent communicator, #NickyNoBoats #1 enemy and all round good lad running for Labour in 2026. Craig has a good heart and a strong career in public services to back it up. Go Craig go!!! #nzpol

Everyday I wake to headlines that baffle me. Both good and bad. The bad stuff is absurd & I'm shocked when anything good comes out of this shitty timeline we're living through. What's kept me going is the progressive community that has risen up to make it a better world, esp the #bhn fam ❤️

www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro... Good news about the tech sector! But some telling details: the top 200 tech companies invest more into R&D than the govt... Because this govt slashed R&D funding. The tech sector sees huge opportunities in renewable energy. This govt doesn't. Maybe they should. #nzpol

I'm sorry but what fucked up world is this????!! Why is this not the biggest headline this week?? Nat and NZF agreed to pass a law they don't like just so they could form a government? What info is Seymour blackmailing them with?? Absolute fucking spineless IDIOTS!! 🤬🤬🤬 Govt of integrity my ass.

again, any other government doing this would not have had a moments rest from nz media, their public lives made almost impossible and been hounded out of government this coalition is being given the most cover and support, maybe in nz history, by media and institutions

Tonight 9pm on the award winning #BHN podcast! @xkaosmagex.bsky.social -Simeon Brown blocks gender affirming care for youth until potentially 2031 -Michael Woods is back! Running for Mt Roskill in 2026 -Jack Conte Patreon CEO announces big plans to take on the Social Media giants and status quo.

Iove this so much!!!! @garyseconomics.bsky.social

Maturity.

If you ever wanted a reason why it's justified to LEAVE xhitter This is so sad and must be horrid for people's wellbeing 😢

Oops @biffaplays.com #ytrecap2025

Wooohoo!! Just had an exciting email come through.... We have been pre approved to buy a home!! 🎉🎉🎉 There were a lot of things going against us and didn't think it would be possible so I am incredibly relieved! Still a long couple of months ahead though. Fingers crossed! 🤞🤞

Constantly refreshing my emails awaiting an important email.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏 #ADHD waiting mode in full swing. I have things to doooooooo though 😭

#BHN entering the blog space too. An Important message from Pat about our young people.

FUCKING HOPE EXISTS

#nzpol - when candidates have an authentic, principled position, this is what happens.

MAMDANI WINS!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🎉🎉🎉🎉 #nymayor

Getting excited for BHalloweeN this Friday! You're gonna get two VERY different costumes so you wanna be there! Those who watch @aotearoatonight.bsky.social got an exclusive on what my costume is so iykyk 😜 no spoilers 🤫 #BHN

Working on Friday's #bhn BHalloweenN show costume. Regular Friday viewers might have an idea.... 😉😏😁😘🤫 @xkaosmagex.bsky.social

Nonone SAVED hard for a rental property. They leveraged the capital gained on their 1st or 2nd property to buy it... EVERYONE who works hard and has to rent because they're priced out HATES landlords. Besides you can evade the CGT by selling up before July 2027

Imagine reacting like "ew CGT to fund free GP visits" 🤣

Tonight #BHN at 9pm with @xkaosmagex.bsky.social 📌Emz chats with Duncan on Strikes and not seeking re-election 📌James Meager wants to make it harder to exercise democratic participation via submissions 📌ADHD, is it real? A discussion for and against pathologising human behaviour See you there!

It should be mandatory for every MP with a portfolio to do at least 1 month shadowing every role that is affected by their decisions.

Today we stand up for public services and the hardworking people who keep them running. ✊ ✊ Where would we be without teachers, nurses, doctors and medical staff?!

That's because Ben Bell who got reelected for mayor is young and energetic and gives the people of the town a vision for the future, despite all of the shit the council threw at him in the beginning.

9am: Beautiful, warm and sunny. Fairly calm. 10am: Wind roaring and thick black clouds coming in... Still hot though! :) #nzweather
