It's a cold rainy night here in Te Whanganui-a-Tara so why not spend your Monday night cozied up and join us we look at the week in news. TW: We will be discussing the CNN investigation into an online R*pe Academy. #nzpol www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2JY...

Come warm up with foo-foo's

Morning 😹

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about. This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Never thought about it but I absolutely agree.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Otis is here to say hello for National Pet Day and to remind you to show some extra love to your senior pets today, they deserve it ❤️

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Call Congress and tell them to do their job: 202-224-3121

I even made an Easter egg hunt for y'all <3 Join @detectiverogers.bsky.social and I for some Easter fun.

"he's a great guy; you just gotta get to know him" —a guy dismissing the behaviour of his creepy friend bothering you at a party; and the prime minister's wife talking about her husband, apparently

The people who started the war in Iran, that's causing a fuel crisis, are about to waste a tonne of fuel..... I'm so angry I'm calm...... #nzpol #uspol #fuelcrisis

If we don't get our friends and family to vote this year we will continue to have mediocre leadership #nzpol #AoNZ #auspol

Had to fix this headline that noted 150,000 families. Percentage calculated using Stats NZ 2023 Census data. Great time to remind people to make a submission on the Data and Statistics (Census) Amendment Bill www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak... #BHN #nzpol #onetermgovt #ditchthepricksin26

It's gonna be a fun one tonight! #nzpol

Is it happening again?

Crazy to think back on the Chuck Norris meme era.

I was reflecting on the ability to be bi-partisan in govt (local or central) In a world where polarisation is used to divide us. I believe this skill will be crucial going forward. Polarisation has us focussing on the left and right rather than the class-war that is burning the world down. #nzpol

We have ex-Deputy Mayor of Whakatū/Nelson, Rohan O'Neill-Stevens, on tonight! Got any burning questions? Pop 'em in the comments below. #nzpol #bhn #greensnz #onetermgovt www.youtube.com/watch?v=wepH...

Yup this is the crux of while I'll never be okay with Maduro being kidnapped and Iran being attacked. You wanna play fast and loose with the rules? Be prepared for them to be flipped back on you.

"Live: Fuel stations run out again, Luxon and Willis faces questions about fuel crisis" Every time Willis blames the previous government, drink. It doesn't matter that's 1:30pm on a Thursday. Drink.

Had a great day making #BHN pride badges and playing werewolf with an awesome group of humans. Thanks to @wellingtonpride.bsky.social for the great events these past few weeks. They even have a pride picnic on Sunday at the botanical gardens 12pm - 3pm. They'll even have the badge maker.

MIght even start a bit early if we are lucky @detectiverogers.bsky.social #nzpol

City fulla nerds (complimentary)

wellington is my favourite city and if you're a wellington hater you can suck my dick. NOT. access to this hot body is reserved for lovers of our beautiful city

Tomorrow is Out in the City - the largest event that Wellington Pride Festival produces, as well as the Pride Hīkoi, so we've got all the info you should need over on our website www.wellingtonpridefestival.com/news-1/oitc2... See you at 9am for the hīkoi, and from 10am for OITC!

So proud to be the @greens.org.nz candidate for the new electorate of Kapiti, stretching from Whitby and Paremata in the south through to Ōtaki in the north. Really excited to help elect a new Government this year with not only a compassionate Green heart, but also a strong Green spine.

Click the fish.

Opinion: The intent of MMP was to encourage collaboration across parties.

If, like me, you joined InternetNZ last year to ensure your point of view was not overwhelmed when it came to board election (thanks) and AGM voting, then it's coming up time to renew your membership to continue that mission. If you didn't join last year, maybe you'd like to this year?

Long covid exacerbated my fibromyalgia from off and on to on and worse now more than ever. The booster saved me from the last time covid entered my house. Unsurprising from Stuff but this is negligent and dangerous rhetoric #nzpol

Politicians retiring mid term get to choose when they make their announcements. If he was considering it over the summer he would have announced it in Jan or Waitangi like others Announcing it when Luxons leadership is being questioned every day?? - raises some red flags at the very LEAST

Interesting timing.. I've always wondered if DOCTOR Shane Reti was pissed that he got cut as health minister for a fkn 13yo BWANKER. I wonder if this is Shane's attempt to get back at Luxon and take him out of the job.

Shane is out and Mariameno is back in TPM. This can't look good for cuckson #nzpol

I passed a cemetery today and saw a duck perched on a headstone 🦆 🪦 It got me thinking there's a spectrum of silly to spooky when it comes to birds in cemeteries

TLDR: They couldn't get the bank history due to the historic offending. They found some and are going to make him pay it back. Pretty meh #nzpol

@detectiverogers.bsky.social has currated some great news stories tonight, so theres lots to discuss! Join us from 7pm right before #BHN #nzpol

Got some epic green party logo earrings from the @cahoots.nz! Going to get a lot of wear out of these with this year's #election26 #nzpol #pride

Was awesome to catch up with @clrenney.bsky.social at Newtown Festival! So many people signing people up to enrol or sign housing petitions it was awesome to see 😁 #nzpol

Moe mai rā

Getting to walk in the parade alongside my rainbow and #BHN whānau filled my cup today. Hopeful to see more BHNers tomorrow at Newtown Festival!
