Well no shit. Did they think he was gonna grow a leg during the match?

Hear me out... $2 mil for any vessels to pass through Cook Strait.

Luxon is discussing Iran. "I ran". The only honest thing he's said

The BBC can't help but to continually sanewash Trump. It's a very British thing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but honestly there's no doubt here - just stop. Please.

Two week (too weak) TACO Trump tries to terrify Tehran, thwarted.

What's even the point of having chat/comments on the Artemis live stream when it's just a high-speed scroll of people spamming their countries flag and/or the name of their country hundreds of times? There is no value in that.

Oof

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

"Tens of objects". So NOW the Americans are using the metric system.

The New Zealand economy:

If everything is a commodity, traded globally and we just have to accept paying the commodity price driven by distant market forces, then why are our groceries so much more expensive than elsewhere?

This kind of shit is almost enough to turn me right wing (don't worry it won't really). "The 30-year-old project manager has now been discharged without conviction in the Queenstown District Court after Judge Mark Williams ruled a conviction of intent to injure would cause him to lose his job."

Every time Trump says the war against Iran is nearly over, oil prices drop. Then Iran strikes a ship in the strait of Hormuz to demonstrate the fact that the war is indeed not over, and prices go back up. Quick question.. are oil futures traders idiots? Do they actually believe what he says?

Local Pot Dealer lol. Omg Powershop

Luxon: Embattled

"Misspoke" is such a weaksauce euphemism for "lied" and it seems like a daily occurrence that senior members of the government are having to admit to have "misspoken". Here is today's edition. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Another rap*st who abused his position of power to commit sex crimes gets off scott free in New Zealand. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

As a cycle commuter who has lived in and biked in several countries, there's nothing surprising about this article. You don't even have to be on a bike - just try sticking to the posted speed limit in a car and see what happens. www.rnz.co.nz/life/people/...

Gas prices up by around 50% today. A painful reminder that relying on imported fossil fuels is a risky strategy.

The $Billion LNG import terminal looking like a pretty silly investment now eh. Vote this incompetent, industry captured pack of clowns we call a government out in November.

The National Party government captured by industry lobbyists, again? Who knew!? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

What a lot of words when "I'm an insufferable racist" would get the same message across. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

👀 Australia!? I think not!

So if you want to be a p@edo, just make sure you get up to the top echelons of a public service first, so you can get off scott free (with full pay) while one of your victims is still being hauled through the criminal justice process for the misfortune of being one 🙄 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I used some brewing yeast to make bread, just to see if it would work. It does, but you get a better result with proper bakers yeast. The loaf has a great crispy crust but it didn't rise a much as normal, and therefore has a slightly denser crumb. Good for French toast I guess.

"New number plate plan to crack down on dangerous trend taking over Aussie roads" cries the breathless headline. "Politician from a deeply unpopular right wing political party regurgitates anti-cycling sentiment from the dregs of Facebook comment section as policy" is a more accurate headline.

..in today's edition of surprises nobody could possibly have foreseen 🙄 www.1news.co.nz/2025/12/01/t...

I recently bought a second hand Panasonic bread maker. It's wonderful to have fresh baked bread when you wake up in the morning, and even more wonderful not to have to bother kneading dough when making pizzas, but something I hadn't considered was how much cheaper it is.

"Sparks outcry" and "public backlash" are both very lazy ways of saying that boomers need to get off Facebook www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

You just know our obsequious little weasel of a prime minister is going to be brown nosing Trump in the same way he climbed the greasy pole up to CEO of an airline (don't you know?), and Trump is gonna love it.

🤣 Absolute solid gold.

If you're looking for a fun game to play, may I suggest Power Wash Simulator 2. This salty commentor on Steam has provided all the info I need to know I'm not going to accidentally support some maga ghoul in the process.

Cameroon president Paul Biya wins controversial eighth term at the age of 92, potentially keeping him in power until the age of 99. 4 protestors shot dead by his goons. Trump: Hold my beer.

"Truckers waiting for hours due to storm damage or while fatal road crashes are investigated are asking if there is a better way." Yeah there is, trains 🙄 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

“I’m shocked.. But I’m also not shocked," says local body hair expert.. Not only do we have body hair experts, we have local ones! Who knew?! www.rnz.co.nz/life/lifesty...

Another day, another vapourware press release from Toyota intended to sow doubt about whether now is a good time to buy an EV

Imagine moving to a town and being the 10,001st resident, thereby triggering millions of dollars of earthquake strengthening work. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Get fucked you absolute twat. Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

It's absolutely wild watching the American right cheer on the loss of their own right to free speech. A Facebook group I'm in been infiltrated by Maga chuds posting memes celebrating Kimmel being cancelled. I guess if you're too dumb to realise where this is going you're dumb enough to support it.

And idk if it's 'weird' or 'extremely fitting' that the better explainers are coming from outlets with names like 'garbage day' while the BBC is just shitting its pants in public. We are where we are. www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

I'm having cheese for breakfast. I'm a grown up and you can't stop me.

Pretty spurious to link Amazon restarting their data centre build with the lift on the foreign property buyers ban. As much as the media would like us to think Luxon is some sort of genius attracting overseas investment, these two things are completely unrelated. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

When Trump dies, my money is on his acolytes embalming him like Vladimir Lenin so the MAGA cult can queue up at Mar-a-Lago to kiss his forehead and weep like babies for the next 100 years.

L'Affare "Nutty" coffee is insipid weaksauce that anyone who likes their coffee to taste of something should avoid. Don't fall into the trap of novelty coffee beans. It's all marketing spin to sell substandard beans to unsuspecting consumers. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Among all the talk of road user charging, it's worthy of a reminder that only 16 years ago, the UK government stopped forcing councils to deliberately set traffic light timing for minimum fuel efficiency, in order to collect the maximum amount of fuel tax: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news...

So literally the next day, the US announces a 15% tariff on NZ imports. If I was any more of a cynic I'd argue they're deliberately mocking us, but I think the reality is our government are just a bunch of morons who couldn't negotiate their way out of a paper bag.

So we're a vassal state to Trump's America now huh? How many other countries have an FBI office in the capital city?

I was in a bakery recently. Queue of ppl buying pies and sandwiches for lunch. No paywave so everyone having to do it the slow and tedious way. If one person looked in the door and decided not to bother because of the queue then they lost more than the fees they saved by not allowing paywave.
