So, we've a boil-water notice in Christchurch. Sewerage being blown inland from the South Wellington coastline, and deadly floods in the King Country? These must be the three waters they warned us about.

Too much sunset tonight for the phone to know quite what to do! Storm broke in the west just long enough for some golden hour as it headed east.

Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMf...

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced. Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

So these dipshits won't fund a *pair* of ferry terminals that'd get used several times a day, but will fund an LNG terminal that *might* get used once in a blue moon? One terminal, for the same price as two, and with zero (0) ferries?

I absolutely guarantee you that the below and Luxon announcing a gas terminal isn't a coincidence. Corrupt piece of shit #nzpol

We have unearthed an awesome live set from @thebeths.bsky.social that some dude has like Cine8'd. It's joyous! youtu.be/L_1JfIroYCs?...

Anyone in #aotearoa #nz able to recommend a good hearing aid clinic/system? Near deaf father in law is close to agreeing to go for a check!

End-of-school-holidays celebratory dinner out!

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Love these IKEA dry goods bags — feel like Indy eyeing up that gold statue every time I measure some out.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Cellphones around San Francisco buzzed late Monday night with a very unusual alert: A mountain lion had been spotted prowling around Pacific Heights, the upscale northern neighborhood dotted with mansions and lush parks. Read more: nyti.ms/4t3yvav

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

Posting this Charlie Kirk quote for no reason…

I believe Alex Pretti was a good man.

Buskers Festival is doing a night show in Ponsonby. Good times.

Great playlist though.

Yes, he’s a fucking liar but let’s not forget that JD Vance is also a whiney little puke cunt. You can be both.

remarkable that media coverage of Trump’s ambitions for Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) is failing to mention that Indigenous Inuit people make up 89% of the population

Seeing if my killer posts will do better over here. My talents are wasted.

Surely, all the time travellers would be drunk on the incredibly cheap booze?

About six months ago, my partner got the best gift of his life - our friend's old hearing aids. It cost under $100 to get them reset and refitted at the local hearing clinic. If you have upgraded, you can do no better thing than donate your old aids to a friend or a clinic.

One day we will laugh about the time I made dinner for the in-laws in a 30C kitchen while my wife emptied the cupboard under the sink onto the floor so she could measure up for a new shelf that her dad wanted to cut and bring with him tonight.

That's a lot of sky

Rocking around the tree today thanks to @jayneilson.bsky.social 's awesome alternative Christmas mix. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Hundertonk. open.spotify.com/playlist/3Zt...

Why can't I get a prescription app that unfocusses my screen until I can see it clearly?

Guaranteed lol

Thank you #SecretSantaAoNZ, really appreciate these stationary goodies. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Sorry for keeping you waiting!

Jesus Christ Jim, we're all waiting for you😉 #secretsantaaonz

Heads up Secret Santa, I doubt I'll have time to enjoy opening my gift until tonight — but many thanks in advance!

This is total bullshit.

So it begins! #SecretSantaAoNZ

WATCH: Bystander disarms active shooter at Bondi Beach in Sydney

Who in New Zealand knows of a summer underwear solution for men? Letting everything hang in loose fitting trunks or boxer shorts doesn't keep things cool and briefs that pull everything up together only makes things even hotter down there. Is there a secret thong thing or something?

This Ajax glass and mirror cleaner sucks so bad it blows. Impossible to wipe it all off — and then "it" shows up as smears. Boooooooo!

Oh what. They're not going to chip down that magnificent tree, are they?

Tally ho!

Would love to see Scotland invited!

There’s a poem with the first line “I will die in Chicago while looking for a job in winter” and sadly I can neither recall nor locate the title or name of the poet. Does this ring any bells, poet friends?

The British public is seldom wrong.

So, we're just popping down the road to Ikea this afternoon! They've invited the folks who open their doors for the NZ home report to a preview day (and fire alarm test). The boys are really quite excited ... but that might just be the prospect of food. 🇸🇪🌭
