New Zealanders are terrified of complaining – but only about some things

One of the accounts that accepted the offer is called TheWokeGinger who wears a hat that says 'woke' on it

This clear headline issue was raised by the public, including those from the Long Covid community who are the canary in the coal mine/across where media advice is harmful or inconsistent with expert advice. Stuff refused to change it. This dismissive behaviour does not serve the truth or the public.

Chch waitomo yesterday 91 was $2.78. Chch NPD today $2.89 (might have been $2.98 honestly) This is NUTS! we're so lucky we use the car maybe 4 days a week and can bike to most places. And our car is pretty fuel efficient round the city. So glad we travelled to Invers before this hike though.

Can confirm it was very toasty this morning. But I'm more than happy it dropped. Esp coming out of an ice rink The heat hits way harder God the weather has been NUTS though like 15°c swings between days. Autumn used to be the best season in chch. Fingers crossed its coming soon....?

Freshly dyed ROOTS and Dont Starve Together on #twitch come enjoy the chaos!! Twitch.tv/prettyawesomegaming

Omg yay!! So happy to see her back doing stuff! ❤️

Sad but true. Auckland does not want to be the next Sydney. And it doesnt have to be highrises. When Iived in Tokyo I was shocked by how many little med density single home suburbs there were just 1 minute from a major station. The trade off was space but it certainly felt cozy and communal.

Everyone should watch this. It's Justin Fox being deposed in the @historians.org (etc.) lawsuit. Longer videos on the AHA YouTube channel.

See? Its not hard for a political leader to say this. So why can't Aotearoa's?

why is it that when it's some cryptofascist white dude doing the most heinous shit he's an expat, and when it's a poor brown person literally just trying to not die they're an immigrant. #nzpol

Oh no. I sprayed a spider and it fell onto my desk and scuttled off. Now I can't find it and its wither on my desk hiding or under it maybe or maybe not dying. Shouldve left it alone. Karma me thinks.

Going Live on #twitch for some cozy Town to City. Come chill and say hi instead of yelling through your phone... like me... Twitch.tv/prettyawesomegaming

Prediction: Fuel Security Plan goes into action. Govt: "everyone has to stop using their (petrol)cars" NZ: "but how will we get to work? Our cities are car relient. Let's go back to WFH" Govt: "No, WFH is bad for productivity and economic recovery." NZ: "well fukk" #nzpol

Brah. Oil companies will be happy to ship us oil.. once we're the highest bidder. We are at the bottom of the barrel competing with the rest of the world, private and public, for the same increasingly scarce product right now. The law can't do shit to get us ahead of everyone else.

This is what local political leadership looks like. The answer lies in longer term solutions, including the building of more public housing and the resourcing of critical support services. Instead all we're getting is the criminalisation of poverty.

Biked all the way to the rink only to find i HAD taken out my foot padding home to clean so no skate for me today! Couldn't find them anywhere so wasn't sure if I had or had not... #adhdthings amiright! But I did do a 30min bike in the rain so I still exercised I guess hahaha.

If anyone wants my face biometrics you bet I'm doing full beat cosplay makeup and wig. Have fun with that one u pricks. (Sadly might still capture my biometrics and LBH my face is all over the Web so....)

"Should we hand over our biometrics to Nazis?" Seems like a pretty easy answer

As the chair of @nzccl.org.nz said, "We wouldn't give other countries like China or Russia full access into our police and biometrics databases, would we?" Absolutely disgusting that this is being contemplated, let alone that it might be decided without Parliament. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Ahahahahshahagahahaha. I will never hand over my sensitive data to private companies. I will waste my inheritance to fight this bullshit in court if it ever comes to that. Farrrrk off.

Hey, at least Chuck and Mary will have a Beggar-free Britomart to enjoy! I dive deeper over at my Substack: yeehawtheboys.substack.com/p/chuck-and-...

Yahooooooooooo!!!!! Fuck you age verification bullshit.

He knows.

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SUPRISED? IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WITH HALF A FUNCTIONING BRAINCELL AND A PULSE THAT'S SUPRISED?? fortune.com/2026/02/24/d...

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

Da fuq???

Watching the final finals of the #olympics2026 Figure Skating. The women's shorts programme... what a cry fest. I love the women at this Olympics so many happy relaxed skaters. ☺️
