Same fucking bullshit, different hemisphere #nzpol

If you've been losing money and have just stopped trading, technically your business will do better next quarter. QED.

No no Stuff... not "slapped eyes" on something. Clappity clap clap eyes.

oh more ministerial interference in an independent statutory body... and RNZ happy to amplify the message despite: "Peters declined an interview request from RNZ. Finance Minister Nicola Willis declined to comment." what is the job of NZ media at this point? Purely non-critical amplification?

scott adams accepting jesus christ at the last minute, saying he looks forward to spending eternity with him, opening his eyes and learning that jesus is black

Yeah, he's not getting through those gates.

Back on track 😑 #nzpol

Dear Winston - I am acting to further the RBNZ's functions under the Reserve Bank Act of NZ Act 2021, ss 10(1)(e)(ii); 10(1)(f)(i) and 10(1)(g) in line with the objective of "protecting and promoting the stability of New Zealand’s financial system". As you're not my Minister ... fuck off. Love, Anna

Then... and ...now (Then was yesterday)

If you want to do fucking dumb shit like this, take it to the track instead. I guarantee your car won’t keep its pretty shape for very long though. They should have confiscated it, sold it and donated the money to the local ambulance service imo

Oh look, a National MP is conducting a survey about bus lanes that looks like it's from NZTA and is biased towards removing them. It would be a shame if it got lots of responses in favour of bus lanes, right? #nzpol forms.microsoft.com/pages/respon...

If there’s one thing the last ten years has taught me, it’s that most Americans have zero understanding or respect for the lessons of history.

btw bluesky is having its biggest month in a while by the math

China's been shut out of the U.S. market, but the country is killing it in Europe. And it's about to make its hold even stronger. Plus more breaking car news.

You lot need your daily dose of cheering up - here’s the groblins

DILBERT creator Scott Adams dead at 68 Scott Adams, the cartoonist whose Dilbert became a pop culture sensation in the 1990s, has died,  according to a statement from his ex-wife, Shelly Miles. Adams, who alienated much of his audience with a hard turn into right-wing politics in more recent…

@ninjakitty.bsky.social I did it! I made ponzu and some furikake from the seaweed stuff strained off. I added some dried anchovy because I could and it's very good 😸 I went to #JapanMart and the lady was super helpful so 👍 to them. Would do again.

Update: the entire board has resigned, apologised, and announced the cancellation of Adelaide Writers' Week 2026 www.adelaidefestival.com.au/news/2025/ad...

Submissions for this awful bill close tomorrow night. This is a good summary of what Stanford and Seymour are trying to push through. Your submission can just be a statement of opposition #nzpol

1. Aotearoa New Zealand friends and colleagues 🇳🇿, Logistics for my February trip are coming together. I'd love to meet more of you and/or talk with groups of interested colleagues about AI course and teaching in a ChatGPT world (thebullshitmachines.com). Right now, my schedule is as follows:

Just got to show someone our teaching dinosaur

Few words. My @smh @theage cartoon

There’s this big arse crane at the house on the corner of our street where arborists are removing a massive tree (it’s dangerously oversize). There is a guy on the end of the hook, I think with a chainsaw. You couldn’t pay me enough!!

Back when I was an extra in The Hobbit: Battle of Five armies I thought I overheard Ian McKellen say something very uncomplimentary about Martin Freeman. I've spend more than a decade assuming I'd misheard him or misunderstood him. Maybe I hadn't.

Trying to enjoy the NZ summer while the world burns

As a former literary festival director, my heart breaks for Louise Adler. A terrible position to be placed in by the board, which contains no writers or artists. It’s vital that these boards are peopled by those who actually know what writers’ festivals are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just filling out some forms on half of Mum and realised that the weekend just gone marked 70 years since she came to live in Aotearoa NZ 😮
