I've not seen someone smashed this hard since uh some YouTuber thought they could box...

I WANT TO SEE THE HELL OUT OF THAT.

as foretold by the prophesy

This right here, in the UK, is disgusting. As a British citizen, I will view the ministers responsible as guilty of murder if and when any of these hunger strikers die.

Traumatic brain injury as entertainment... I can't get behind it, but sometimes it feels like someone may have asked for it a bit too eagerly. But I have known people with multiple concussions: there is a quite short list of people I feel deserve it.

Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers Me:

I don’t know who needs to hear this but here goes: In high school my art teacher told me I didn’t know how to draw because cartooning wasn’t real art. I have wanted to be in The New Yorker Magazine since I was 19. I’m 53 and this happened yesterday:

Terrific

it annoys me no end when people let their dogs roam the streets with no owner to be seen

So... cutting taxes; giving tax breaks to landlords; the iRex ferries contract-break fees; scrapping tobacco levies... ...none of that was affordable!? And Nicola Willis still blames the previous govt - even though she's BORROWED MORE than Grant Robertson ever did?! This person is inept. (1)

Learned today that “Galápagos” comes from a Spanish word for tortoise, meaning that “Galápagos Tortoise” is, in fact, a tortology

#NZpol 😳🤬 “Paul Goldsmith had purposefully omitted some disallowed measures from the Crimes Amendment Bill, in order that they could be added back in as an addendum by the Justice Select Committee, in order to dodge the usual rules about what is allowed.”

absolute bargain if any of yous have a use for 7,949,020,598 wasps

This is literally one of the funniest threads I have ever seen. Brilliant.

That's "Willis math"

Can someone tell me what Labour’s position on this attack on all our privacy is? If they’re not outright opposed to it, how much of that is because their Medicard proposal is also an ID requirement by the back door? #nzpol

Mark Mitchell is complaining on social media that Coster is relitigating the Jevon McSk disaster? Relitigate? Does he know the meaning? This is 1st time we’ve heard Coster’s side of events? We have heard plenty from MM prior to today, even about Coster. I’m grateful for the other PoV. #nzpol

lmao

Here's Frank on the Simpsons, which he voiced while I worked for him. I can not tell you how often I walked around the Gehry partners office saying "yo Frank Gehry, like curvilinear forms much" after this aired www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MyT...

I thought this was a joke. It’s real.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

But it's not a cult, right?

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

“Get out of my fucking seat.”

Every right-wing “grassroots”organisation in New Zealand is just Jordan Williams, David Farrar, and one randomly-selected Atlas Network apparatchik in a trenchcoat

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

The most maddening thing about this is that restoring inanga spawning habitat is really easy. Like, the easiest, fastest results I've seen in any project. We've got to stop monitoring towards extinction and actually start spending money on fixing the problems! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

This is the plan that the coalition government says is "not about centralising power". Jesus wept. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

One day your Prints will come.

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated. I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble. But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash. Waiting for the feds? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaa...

oh, that's... that's not... you can't call it that

this, *this*, is the greatest crossover of all time

New salutation just dropped

These are not serious people.

Take care, folks.

@paullecomtephoto.nz These 4 consecutive shots about .2 seconds between each show their dodging! Unfortunately looks like it's not going to put them in order

"If their ambition is to portray the WRU as cartoon baddies, they could scarcely make it any more obvious if they took to parading up and down Westgate Street every day in front of an orchestra belting out the Imperial March". gwladrugby.wordpress.com/2025/11/14/i...

“Upgrade station access”… but you can’t actually access the station unless you’re in a car.😖 What gives, NZTA?🤨 Pedestrian access was clearly shown in earlier planning docs—but now there‘s “no space”? Is this removing footpaths to add more turning lanes? Or what? www.gets.govt.nz/NZTAHNO/Exte...

Star Wars nicknames are weird Ani is short for Anakin Ben is short for Obi-Wan Luke is short for a stormtrooper
