The best.

Most funnest NZ film I've seen in a LONG time!

THE WEED EATERS is finally living up to the “weed” and “eaters” in the title with two special screenings… Weds May 20 - dinner and a movie combo with Cazador Fri May 29 - screening at Whakamana Cannabis Museum (“Consumption of Medical Cannabis allowed, but no consumption of human flesh please”)

a lot of people crack wise about bluesky but what if i told you it facilitated the purchase of the onion by an internet guy who then went on to dismantle one of the biggest misinformation engines of the 21st century

XYZZY is back Friday nights in May at @stardome-nz.bsky.social Ak , celebrating NZ MUSIC MONTH & the outrageously great soundtrack by @stef-animal.bsky.social @disasteradio.bsky.social Lachlan Anderson & Drew Clarke. I'll be up doing a Q&A with the last session 👽 www.stardome.org.nz/movie/xyzzy

At tonight’s taite prize when @ssarahthomsonn.bsky.social started talking about how much $ Nz music puts into the local economy Paul goldsmith pulled out his phone and started scrolling

Sisters Underground?!

The nats should bring Ariel Pink over

Remembering the ancient ways

Some of the most hideous framing of a live event that I've witnessed recently — we all should be outraged our $$$ is going towards this

A strategy I am recommending to people who don’t want to mask all the time is always in healthcare facilities and public transportation, AND if you see someone in a mask, put yours on. The first helps protect spaces high risk people may have no choice but to go, the second shows them support.

no rocks for war crimes pls

U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

“As a thought experiment, imagine [gal gadot version]”

Didn't know that Live Nation donated $500,000 to Trump's 'Inauguration Fund' Handy when they're weaseling out of the anti-trust case against them with a settlement agreement that is less than 1% of revenue. I see local artists, supposedly right on ones, choosing them. Why?

Oh. @leahnylen.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lee Tamahori and John Day's doco, following Herbs to Ruatoria to launch their album Sensitive To A Smile, is always worth a watch - all the more so with Dilworth Karaka's passing this week.

remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

The judge wondered what he was supposed to tell the jury, and bemoaned the government’s “absolute disrespect for the court, the jury, and the entire process.” And Live Nation stock went up 5%, which tells you who won here.

"Positively kiwi" 1. You’re feeling like you’re going to surprise yourself today, like you’re going to be a version of yourself you don’t typically get to see, but that version will be fun, unexpected, and leave a lasting impact. 2. You’re from New Zealand.

Trump is once again fighting wokeness this afternoon

Isn’t “with all your microphones in front of me” business as usual for any politician, let alone a minister? Following racism/mistake [take your pick] with this lame excuse is pretty revealing. Glad media are leaving this blameshifting quote in.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

And here’s the platform itself: flatchat.co.nz

What if the flat listings had a comments section? We know that the Healthy Homes standards haven't been the silver bullet for rentals. Until we have stronger regulation - and a system that doesn't put the burden of proof on tenants - sites like this go some way to level the playing field.

A rogue state brought down the rules-based postwar international order, you'll never guess which one

Chorus out: LNG terminal in Taranaki will tie NZ wholesale electricity & gas prices to global gas prices; Gas price rose 47% last night after Iranian drones shut Qatar's LNG plant; NZ power prices would follow #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...

The trial kicks off today!

Hey Chris Luxon, remind me again how much solar energy passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

I think a lot of Gundam fans are familiar with this image of Karl Urban and Viggo Mortensen stocking up on MSiA, but did you know that both of them are wearing Viggo’s homemade No More Blood for Oil (in Japanese) t-shirts?

What year is it etc

did a quadruple take

I added 15 minutes to my commute today in order to pull over and take a picture of this Cybertruck parked in front of Hooters at 3:30pm.

I love getting The Onion in the mail each month - even better in context, with (satirical) ads, and in real life. I've never humiliated a Big Space Pervert before, but it sounds like fun...

“Are we going to charge him, Sarge?” “Not right away, constable. Stick him in a cell and let him sweat for a while.” “Er…”

Noncequences!

This is HomeGround. Auckland’s homeless shelter. Tone-deaf much, Bayleys? One for you @bernardchickey.bsky.social

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...
