“Hey do you mind, I’m trying to sleep here”

I’m not sure if I ever shared on Bluesky this article we wrote on how almost everyone giving career advice is susceptible to survivorship bias, but I think it was good and you should read it www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Explains why Luxon looked so clueless in the Pacific when questioned about it This is beyond dysfunctional.

I don't really think your opinion on Harry Potter has any intrinsic moral valence, but c'mon, you should really not be giving Rowling money or attention if you care at all about trans rights, y'know? She's not an author with bad opinions, she's a full-time political activist who used to write books.

Lots of ripe rimu fruit appearing on the trees on Pukenui/Anchor. This is the food driving the current biggest #kakapo breeding season on record: ripe fruit is the main diet of kākāpō chicks, and a record rimu crop is the reason why the chicks are growing well. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

Me: ooooo nice house that’s in my budget Property files: so here’s two slope failure records

Very cool to see Mon Rovîa on such a big show And playing a song for the times youtu.be/k4yxGGLtObE?...

What

Is there anything that anyone’s economy is relying on from Taiwan? Like computer chips maybe?

I got to play with a puppy earlier and now I’m facing some extensive questioning about my whereabouts and activities

What's happening? Stuff are fact checking the government👀 #nzpol

#NZpol Longer article that digs into those oil/fuel ships supplying NZ Also mentions,* “The Australian newspaper reports US-based energy giant ExxonMobil has hired investment bank Goldman Sachs for a likely exit from the New Zealand market; that’s confirmed by Newsroom sources.”

She’s really not a morning person

Transposons are both code bloat and coconuts but you can never tell which until it’s too late A feature and a bug and also idk some extra stuff that doesn’t seem to be doing anything wrong just now

How’s that ferry procurement going?? #nzpol (This was in my inbox today)

I’ve been trying to integrate my code with someone else’s since some time in JANUARY and then I had another urgent thing come up and then my surgery but it seems to have finally woooooorrrked

There is so much that is FUCKED in the announcement during the Fossil Fuel crisis ‘response’ but one again othering Kiwis as a political football is a national sport. Repugnant, incompetent & clueless.

If you believe this, you'll probably also believe that New Zealand Treasury continues to project growth in 2026

Chris Bishop's announcement of $52m of funding for EV chargers from the election $250m promise is actually using $66m of Labour's funds National in fact have spent $0, and the loans don't even have to be used for EV chargers Anyone who says Nat & Lab are the same need their head checked

Can someone do the maths on how much the increase in KiwiSaver contributions from 3% to 3.5% will remove from the budgets of the families that will get $50 extra as fuel crisis relief Do they cancel each other out?

Nationals EV chargers seem to be: 1) nowhere near the promised 10,000 2) does nothing about the “red tape” to install them 3) based on loans 4) use money that labour set aside to fully fund EV chargers 5) the only two companies participating are part govt owned newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/24/s...

Now it’s Exit Brooke van Velden

Don’t let the door hit you etc etc

What a creepy fucking ad

#NZpol From @helenclarknz.bsky.social over the way, “Let’s be clear: there’s no justification for #NZ supporting military action against Iran. Anticipatory “self defence” asserted by Israel is highly legally contestable. Imminent threat wasn’t established. As with Iraq 2003, stay out!” Link ⬇️ 1/2

#NZpol Note reply noting that the previous government has 29% of bills under urgency, including having to deal with the COVID-19 emergency. 56%+ seems mad stuff.

To be announced tomorrow: if your house interior is painted Resene Sea Fog, you can drive and fill up your car on Tuesdays and Thursdays; those with Quarter Spanish White, Mondays and Fridays, and all other colours Saturday and Sunday.

With fucking what??? Our navy has 8 boats and our airforce has 44 planes/choppers

How many press conferences have we had from Willis and Luxon now telling us they have a plan but not telling us anything in the plan?

Watching Luxon claiming credit for interest rates being lower than a few years ago - yeah, like everywhere else you egg. If he wants to claim credit for something stand out about our economy over the last few years, he could talk about our go-it-alone recession. Envy of the world.

I have a friend who says “don’t tell me what you’re against, tell me what you’re for.” Leadership doesn’t start the day you’re in government - people are hurting now, and even in opposition you can use your platform to call out what people need, as the Greens did today. Interesting choice indeed.

He’s cutting off everyone’s nose just to spite Nationals face

Yeah that will break things

This is performative “lending” as charge net is 65% owned by Genesis which is 51% owned by the government. And Meridian is also 51%owned by the government. The government is essentially loaning themselves money. This is NOT a private sector initiative! This IS the govt pretending! #nzpol

Someone is UPSET that I am going back to the office

I thought the traditional parting phrase in this scenario was “so long and thanks for all the fish”

Sounds like an ideal time to be investing in a LNG backstop to our national energy infrastructure. 🙄

Don’t forget to eat vegetarian once a week though to save the planet

Leaving aside the fact that Winston's brain is basically cheddar at this point, this is a classic example of the "there's no debating these freaks". They will review and consult and argue until everyone else is too exhausted or antagonised to take part and they get the outcome they want.

Winston Peters forgot he was in government and signed off/voted for all the things he is now complaining about. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 #nzpol

Ok bike nerds, what’s the first kind of bike tyre valve called and why can’t I get it in nz And what’s the second type called and why does it always keep going flat, I definitely screw the valve shut but I keep having problems (have tried multiple tubes) Also why can’t I use the other kind of valve

Your good news for the week
