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...

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

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.

Couldn't help myself, sorry.

This isn't doing any favours to the reputation that the only thing Christchurch people care about is where they can park. At many universities around the world, there's no question of driving to campus. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Amazing!

A "fresh wave" of missiles. They make it sound like a flavour of toothpaste or something. Sheesh

Nothing says respect at work like turning up late to the company-wide respect at work seminar (and skeeting through it)

Gerry and the Pacemakers Oh, wait.

I have a client in Australia that makes me use a remote desktop to work for them. This gives me a little insight into Aussie headlines as I open a new tab in the Edge browser. Contrast to the headline in the RNZ app today and it's no wonder kiwis are flying across the ditch in droves. Thanks Luxon 🙄

Ordered my daughter a fitness tracker watch from the Garmin website. At the point of sale it said ready to dispatch in 5 to 8 weeks. It literally arrived the following day. It's rare for me to be impressed by a corporate under promising and over delivering. Well done Garmin!

@atlassian.bsky.social Why does it take 5 business days to unsubscribe from your spam lists? You have a person review each unsubscribe request? I've had passports delivered quicker than this. If it's automated it should be instant, or are you just taking the opportunity to spam me for another week?

Absolutely 100% this is Bloody Well Right by Supertramp

Driver culture in NZ is quite something. I get verbal abuse from motorists while on my bike at least once every 2 weeks and aggressive driving behaviour more often. Road workers & other drivers too. Try going 30 in a 30 limit, you'll have a ute right up your backside. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
