I don't think corruption gets enough follow up in New Zealand. The links (should I say "concidences") between donations to politicians/parties and laws passed. The NZF/Costello tobacco link. NZF and fishing industry. Property and virtually every RW party.

Here's to our #firefighters whether they get to have a break or not over #christmas ... from the latest @fbunational.bsky.social @firebrigade.bsky.social edition of #firefighter magazine #christmaspudding #slapstick #familychristmas

“Yo what?” LimeWire re-emerges in online rush to share pulled “60 Minutes” segment arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Hey, fellow evolutionary biologists: If you support trans rights, like, comment, or repost this. I want to show that transphobes like Richard Dawkins are a loud minority that does not represent our community

ok what's the most rectangular animal you can think of

TFW you see the 5th episode of the eras docuseries is called Marjorie

I was scrolling and someone started their video with “let’s make natures penicillin” as if that isn’t already made by nature

She just called me lazy

Is this @dairymannz.bsky.social dogs being shamed on fb? (There is dog vom if you open the photo, fair warning)

"Um yes hello thank you for coming to worship me"

please let “bugs bunnying” become the slang for manipulating an LLM into ignoring its guardrails, i have never seen a more succinct and evocative term for it

Carb-cheese-tomato is one of my fav foods.

On the first night of winter, St. Nautilus flies through the air, pelting good children with candy and dousing the naughty ones in ink.

The vibe here is not it atm you guys

Anyone else mix them up?

TFW you go out of your way to get locally grown strawberries from the farm shop, they only have the same ones as Woolworths, and then you ask when they’ll sell their own grown berries and it turns out they just sell them all to pak n save now

This month I have run nice km

This is what inadequate health funding does. Not viable for the commercial sector so Oto locals now have to go to Te Kuiti or Te Awamutu - if they can get an appointment - for X-rays... Klown govt making it harder and harder for small towns and rural areas...

I guess that ultramarathon wasn’t that traumatising after all 🙃 (Don’t worry, I didn’t sign up for the 50 again)

Thought I’d enjoy some time reading my book in the sunshine only for AN ANT to bite me IN THE CROTCH Never going outside again

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Ruuuuuude. They could’ve at least waited until I win lotto and can afford one

Not now, enormous 68-million- year-old egg nicknamed 'The Thing'.

One of the biggest tricks of the car industry was convincing us that parking private cars is a public responsibility, turning shared space into free storage for personal vehicles.

Once again, LLMs are useful in identifying practices that need to change. If citation-as-signaling is expected in your field, such that the citation is not a record of any actual engagement, then stop that practice. It is not providing any intellectual benefit. It is human-produced slop.

I gave her dinner an hour ago but she insists she’s never heard of dinner. Whose side are you on?

NZ: if u steal bene $$ we will fuck u up. If u r a brown kid outside, we'll photograph u. If u are a gf accusing your cop bf of crime u r getting charged. If u left ur bb, we'll publish ur name. Nonce? Nonce teacher? Nonce church youth leader? Nonce cop? Nonce politician? Nonce businessman? 🫣🤐

That's a BILLION DOLLARS this government is underspending in health. A BILLION DOLLARS taken out of healthcare! They have the money, they just don't want to spend it. Not on on hospitals or doctors or nurses or admin staff or regional health care, or anyone of a myriad of needed items. #nzpol

Our ‘world class police’ once again putting complainants at risk, this time in what could be thousands of cases. How inept are the Police? Trustworthy says Mitchell, world class? An absolute nightmare for victims and they’re still charging Ms.Z.

“Men will let you down. The eras tour never will” -Taylor Swift

Has anyone burned down the Swedish goat yet

Last time I bought face sunblock, I accidentally bought fragranced. This time I made sure to get fragrance free but just saw I got tinted 😩 One day I will get it right

This looks incredible and I ABSOLUTELY will be going to see it

When we were finished, he ... says to me, "You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people." And I looked at him and I said, "You know, you do, too." This is about the Vanity Fair article and photos by Christopher Anderson, but boy is this quote relevant to #nzpol.

Again and again and again, this coalition government chooses to ignore expert advice and evidence, instead, creating policies focused on ideology and personal beliefs. It's beyond irresponsible, it's beyond negligence, it's actively and deliberately harmful. It's reprehensible that this continues.

Trans lives matter, you absolute dumbfuck weasels
