If only there were a way to check what he said. “I don’t need to do this job” is what he actually said. In this video. On Stuff. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

Honestly this is going about as well as we expected. 😝

It would be a net positive for humanity to see the dissolution and demise of Meta. I doubt it'll happen, but we'd all be better off if it did.

What I am enjoying about today is seeing so many non right wing dicks or bigoted idiots coming together. I love that Seymour hates this

#NZLabour need to highlight that they voted FOR Matariki to be a public holiday. #nzpol *also anything else the Nats voted no on.

That exorcism DID NOT WORK.

@parrykylie.bsky.social a family of deaf veined slugs

Reminder when Billionaires talk about “the collapse of society” they’re not talking about a nuclear war or an extinction level event, they’re talking about all of us getting wise and deciding it’s time to bring out the guillotines and give them the ol’ French Haircut

A good thing. We have had dome cold shitty weather and the kawakawa I have here is still alive

Cackling at the unedited footage of that scene from Doomsday, with David Tennant bolting off like a guy whose wife just asked him to help around the house a little

Quick reminder as we see yet another record number of kiwis celebrating and attending Matariki events this week, despite this govt cutting its funding, that every National and Act mp voted against Aotearoa having this.

I went to the dump. Got upset and now lying down again

Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do....

Im loving reading all that you are doing g today. I found it hard to drag myself out of bed

Kia ora, as we reflect on those we love who have passed We need to remember the ones still here We are all Whānau We are connected It isn’t by chance or choice We are Aotearoa and Aotearoa is us Happy new year whānau We are one and we are stronger together Kai kaha ❤️

You'd think someone who is the leader of the "Association of Consumers and Taxpayers" party, and who has close friends in the Taxpayer's Union and Free Speech Union, would think a second about complaining a group doesn't represent everyone they say to. #nzpol

Here’s a closer screen shot 🤭😆 #nzpol

Gather round for the story of the Very Hungry Data Centre... 🧵 (1/4) #datacentre #ai

So Rural Women NZ made a submission against the stupid definitions Bill and they are getting massive backlash. From the likes of Ani as well as the anti Vax, cooker, farmer types. I have emailed my support to them. Give them some love?

Thank fuck we've finally found out what he's been doing all year #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

Some submissions for the Definitions of Man and Woman Amendment bill won’t show up yet because they are still being processed by the Office of the Clerk.

I need good advice about a thing but not publically on social media

I’m genuinely shocked that almost the entire Anglophone world is busy dismantling academia. The research and teaching missions of universities make them economic engines that pay for themselves several times over—all while building soft power essentially for free.

Everyone, if you submitted on the definitions bill go to the link below and check your submission is there. Please comment if it isn’t. bills.parliament.nz/v/6/9e8e8a14...

Found this live version from 2007, which is warts-and-all even better than the original recording. Remarkably good actually. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tMl...

I mean you've got to laugh haven't you?

Trump denied disaster aid to four Democratic-led states in a move that is raising new questions about whether he’s injecting political motivations into emergency management decisions. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Mānawatia a Matariki!

do kegels right now

TTW you accidentally find yourself where the cool kids are. Waves to @ahawkins.bsky.social

I am at Jah Reds Happy Hour and 2nd track is Golden Brown. Excellent youtu.be/7KIHvuMl4Kk?...

I can’t think of a better antidote to the politics in the UK right now than Count Binface beating Nigel Farage in this election… It could genuinely heal a nation.

So shoudl I book a flight through Dubai or not?

What illustrious company! #NZ and #USA are the only 'Global West' countries to sit outside the highest scores for climate action and biodiversity in the annual Yale Environmental Performance Index. #nzpol epi.yale.edu/downloads/20...

It was literally their entire manifesto, destroy PT, EVs, ferries, jobs, health, everything 'Burn it all down so we can make roads' They even failed on that #nzpol

I’m sorry, but this video of Belgium’s squad mocking Trump in their locker room after demolishing the USMNT is hilarious.

In op shop land today

BREAKING: Nurses at Mitch McConnell's hospital bedside say they've yelled into his ears, "There's a Black president trying to fill a Supreme Court vacancy!" and he didn't stir at all.

TFW the original plan doesn't work, so you do it again without changing anything very much, and then when that doesn't work, you do more of it on the basis that surely it will work this time

All the business Daddies getting all worked up about how National are saving KiwiSaver and other parties should support it! Well maybe they would if they weren't racist, sexist, environment destroying billionaire worshipping wannabe facist dipshits who don't deserve anything #nzpol

This is interesting and useful. solarscout.co.nz/solar-guides...

Today, just for a change, I am worrying about the farm

OWG like this, saying things like this ✔️ #TaxTheRich #SustainableEnergy #NoDataCentres (from a paywalled article on NZH)

Who took down this one?

This is so cooked. Hard right ideology dictates that those on the waiting list for a state house can't move into the state houses that were built for them because they are state houses. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
