hey braunias, that wasn't satire, you know it wasn't satire, quit fucking pretending it was.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

This story happens multiple times a year and every time, they don’t actually leave because California is the best place in the country and it’s not remotely close and they know that.

It’s nearly that time

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

Don’t swim if you are in Wellington. Heavy rains means the harbour and beaches are replete with the foul emission of our industrial settlements. Code brown. Poop in the water.

Jacinda Ardern remains New Zealand’s most popular political figure in polls years after she stepped down as Prime Minister. Real leadership lasts.

It’s never taken me more than 30 minutes to get to the airport from the city. Certainly not worth wasting billions and a decade of chaos to fix.

Walking, cycling, and public transport means people connecting, talking, passing everyday... Building community. And that terrifies the billionaires. They want us all to be individuals, ideally one missing pay day from starvation and willing to look away to stay there.

As an Aucklander who's visited Wellington a bunch, traveling from airport to city every time, obviously... The traffic just isn't that bad! Like it's a little annoying sometimes, but honestly it's a short drive that doesn't take that long even when it's congested.

They are talking the proverbial #NZPol

Colonisation and terraforming were always an environmental crime: "Where the hills are bare these are often blocked by landslides, for the early settlers burnt the bush that clothed the hills and held their soil in place. Now every heavy rain brings it sliding down..."

Maybe ECan could try not being corrupt and incompetent, bending over backwards to issue licences to pollute to all and sundry? Just an idea. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Like many kiwis with grownup kids, I'm in Australia today! So, Happy Christmas to everyone who understands this graph! An explanation / Christmas message in the ALT text x

Why the fuck are there adverts on TV!?

yeah i know they added a button that makes hired goons show up at my house and beat me up and steal my tv whenever anyone pushes it but if i leave twitter ill lose my audience 12:23 PM - Dec 23, 2025 - 6 Views

Christmas hasn't been the same since i noticed Santa has the same handwriting as my wife

Hmmmm… should I renew? I’ve been on regular paid Duolingo for years, but that this isn’t enough for the “Max” tier and their firing everyone and relying on AI garbage, I’m sceptical.

merry christmas

Christmas Eve.

I'd love to see a rule that a road can only have parking if there's still sufficient space for two cars to pass each other. Any parking that makes part of a road one-lane should be scrapped.

Clinicians who actually saw the horrors of COVID (and didn’t get infected, because masks fucking work 🤷🏻‍♂️) are pretty pissed at this. Especially the @newyorker.com - I expect better 🤦🏻‍♂️

I suspect this country is comparable, I know so many people who have practically no disposable income after rent, utilities, and basic groceries

Anyone know how the extra $20bn investment in India over 15 years is going to be measured. I'm guessing it's using one of the official stats, here's one

“Survive ‘til 25” um… hang on… “Find a fix in 26!” shit, uh, “Grit your teeth in 27?” that doesn’t work… “Focus your hate in 28” which then could be made into “The proletariate rises up and seized the means of production, overthrowing the bourgeoise in 29”

You know what would free up roads in Wellington without costing a cent? Do what the Japanese do - in order to buy a car you need to prove you have off street parking to store it. Then all suburban roads would suddenly have 1–2 more lanes available.

I worry that we have a PE valuation crisis where a bunch of their investments are nowhere near as valuable (all marked via internal models) on top of a liquidity crisis in both VC and PE, just as both have attached themselves to The Least Profitable Most Opex and Asset Heavy Thing Of All Time

It would be political malpractice for Labour to vote for this because of bipartisanship right after National tore up a bipartisan climate agreement. Labour has leverage: Luxon desperately wants this, and NZF won't play ball. Restoring the climate agreement would be a good price for Labour votes...

And yet New Zealand did not send anyone to last week’s UN convention on anti-corruption. There were 170 nations present, but not NZ.
