What in the AI nightmare fuel kind of ad is this, AliExpress? The bar's low but, far out.

When your choices are either keep state control of your carbon intensive energy infrastructure, or have an overseas corporate owned low carbon alternative that saddles your country with forever debt, keep the damn coal until it's no longer economically viable theconversation.com/why-the-worl...

I made a 3d model of the town in which I live. I quite like it so I thought I'd share makerworld.com/models/28687...

US and Iran exchange renewed fire as Trump asks for changes to proposed deal to end hostilities www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

Journalists: I'm begging you please, just think for 1 second about what you're writing. The site could generate more energy IN HOW LONG?? than some countries consume in a year. share.google/2gKPsnaJH68B...

We do not want this shit blighting the landscape and using our precious natural resources for the sake of profits for overseas mega-corps.

I just got one of those reminder notifications from my Google photos app. It came as quite the surprise to find this rejection letter from the US army in there. I have absolutely zero memory of doing this and there's even less than zero chance I genuinely wanted to join the US military.

Some terrible tribal govt debt scare threads doing the rounds over the last few days. Here's some facts to inflame / calm (depending on who you are). 1. First, the number you use for max debt scare drama... oh no, won't someone think of the grandkids?!? [🧵1/n]

What utter twaddle. RNZ could do better than regurgitating a US-centric article like this.. The silver lining, dear reader, is that the USA will have more leverage in the global fossil fuel trade.

Crude futures traders are finally waking up from their delusions. This is going to get real bad from here on in.

Luxonburger still intact, for now.

My prediction: Luxon gone burger by Friday.

Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet… It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

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.
