So much for the "CO2 is good for plants' denialist argument. "Food becoming more calorific but less nutritious due to rising carbon dioxide Researchers noticed ‘dramatic’ changes in nutrients in crops, including drop in zinc and rise in lead" www.theguardian.com/environment/... #ClimateChange

A photo of the second smallest lamb leg I have ever seen not on a live sheep. Glasses for size comparison. Price = $16.92 @ $15.99 / kg Weight = 1.058kg #NZ #Lamb

There are a lot of cheap lamb legs available in my local New World this week. $15.99 a kg which is almost unbelievable these days. I found the smallest lamb leg I have ever seen not on a live sheep. The cost was $16.44 which puts it just over a kg - and this is bone in! #NZ #Lamb #Roast.

Yet again Luxon shows himself to be an arse.

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

A recent photo of the river Exe and some trees in the mist. Sorry, I apologise for posting Exe/tree/mist views on Bluesky.

Decided to risk the health of the entire family today by making garlic confit. Potential botulism here we come! I have sampled the result and advised the family to watch me closely.

“So, Nick, what kind of dog do you have?” “She’s a werewolf.” “Yeah, haha, that’s O SWEET JESUS -“

Varley pushed that tradition out to the edge of cyberpunk; he wrote of daily nuclear terrorism, routine sex-changes, and cults of plastic-surgeried "Barbies". Some of his work reads like a proto-_Schismatrix_.

Bluesky Thread Splitter. I created this because I wanted an easy way to split long text into multiple posts in Bluesky. It's simple and easy to use. (1/4)

I’m delighted to announce I'm standing as the Labour candidate in Wellington Bays/Rongotai in 2026. I'm thrilled to fight for better jobs, housing, and health services in our community. Look in the bio to donate, volunteer, and help us deliver a better government next year.

This rare burn generator is getting used so much I added an admin panel 🤣 Now you can suggest new insults! A bunch still need to be edited out or improved, but - COME! Defeat your online enemies with snark!

Just gonna keep saying it: There is no point growing the pie if the wealthy keep eating all of it.

I knew Trump’s overall style and aesthetic reminded me of someone and it wasn’t until yesterday it dawned on me who it was. The hair, the fake tan, the tacky decor. Its uncanny. Trump is Evil Liberace.

Fairly intense rings around the sun. This photo doesn't do them justice at all. Seen in #CHB #NZ #Sun

I love that Microsoft's own emails get caught in its own spam filter:

Tirren the Bus Cat has the fluffiest cat tail I have seen. This photo doesn't really do justice to it. it's so big and fluffy that when Tirren runs away (which he does often), it looks like he is being followed by another cat.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Hey anyone at #mpi or #biosecuritynz. We do wasp genomics. I reckon I could tell you in about 24 hours if these invasive yellow legged #hornets you have found in Auckland are sisters, or a larger invasion. For free. Hit me up now!

I realised today that I'm in the, "Don't worry your pretty little head" and "I'll take care of that", group when it comes to our business finances. My partner takes care of all that stuff. She has the business brain. And she did say both of those to me today. #NZ #Business #TooMuchForMyBrain

I don't have premium access and don't care enough to pay to read reckons like these, but if DC KC can explain why a CGT is "punishing thrift" while taxing the interest paid on a term deposit isn't then she's probably worth whatever hourly rate she charges.

Damn cat is too damn clever. It just rebooted my Linux laptop by walking on the keyboard and hitting some key combination that I'm completely unaware of. No doubt having discovered this, it will be doing it every morning now. #NZ #Cat #Cats #Linux #UnwantedReboot

The Auckland University chair of macroeconomics, who hasn't left his office since 1975, thinks there are are people "worth a few hundred thousand" who are landlords and that houses are worth $100k.

Isn't it odd that Google Adverts has some recommendations to improve our campaign and this just happens to involve raising our daily cost limit . #Google #Adverts

We have swallows in our garage. The nest is at one end of the pool table. We have hung a drop sheet below them to catch all the shit they drop so it doesn't land on people playing pool. The parent birds are quite used to people wandering around and flit in and out without concern. #NZ #Birds #Nest

Im' thinking about saving up for a lamb rack. It may take a while with it being over $320 per kg! Local butcher! #NZ #Inflation #Food #Pricing #CostOfLivingCrisis

I'd like the government to provide proof for (basically anything they say), but I'd love to see the verifiable evidence for this "fact". Minister, does being paid less actually statistically improve a jobseekers chance of finding a job? Or is it your bizarre *belief* that it does? #nzpol

This is Tirren. He lives in a bus on our property and isn't into people. I'm surprised he didn't do a disappearing act when he realised I was watching him. His nickname should be Gravel as he blends into it very well when he slinks around the place. #Cat #NZ

Any household that has to borrow to cover day to day costs is in serious trouble. Surely this should be an indicator to you that your proposed tax cuts are simply unaffordable in today's economy. 1/4 #NZPol
