This sounds pretty good. Should we do this in NZ, too? #NZpol

Moorby and Fineanganofo are battling for that season try-scoring record! #SuperRugbyPacific #Final #HURvCHI

Half time score. #SuperRugbyPacific #Final #HURvCHI

The Hurricanes are definitely benefitting from the wind. It will be interesting how they deal with the wind after half time. The Chiefs are struggling. #SuperRugbyPacific #Final #HURvCHI

Only one team in it, thus far. #SuperRugbyPacific #Final #HURvCHI

Only time this year: Go the Canes!!! #SuperRugbyPacific #Final #HURvCHI

I'm so glad I can watch the Super Rugby final from home! The weather is terrible: severe gale with the possibility of rain. The team that adapts best to the conditions will win this. No weather for goal kicking and line-out throws! #SuperRugbyPacific #Final #HURvCHI

Oh f*ck you, senile grifter! You should lose YOUR job and be imprisoned.

Or this one, filmed from the other side. Don't think the applause is just for the dancers ... #RomeoJuliaOrangeCat

This is why I love cats. They don't give a sh*t. Who cares you're interrupting a performance if you just want to play? 😹 #RomeoJuliaOrangeCat

In case you've never seen Dutch sports fans party, here are the Dutch football fans in Dallas having fun! You'll see the same at formula 1, ice speed skating etc. #WorldCup #Oranje

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Dammit, dammit, dammit. Oh, phew. Disallowed. #AllWhites

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. #AllWhites

Wow. Not a fan of Newsom because of his stance on Israel in the past and simply because he's another multi-millionaire (I don't trust any of them), but this is quite the speech!

Ohhh, you know the NPC isn't far away when these games are being played!! Only 6 and half weeks until the start of the NPC!! Can't wait! Wish the Magpies had a challenge though!

And that's the full time score. #disappointing

Noooooooo. Japan score their second goal. NL 2 - 2 JPN #FIFAWorldCup

Goooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll! Summerville scores! That was a beauty! NL 2 - 1 JPN #FIFAWorldCup

Sh*t, now Japan scores. That didn't take long. NL 1 - 1 JPN #FIFAWC

Gooooaaaaaalllllll! Finally, the first goal after 50 minutes. That's a relief. I was fearing it would end in 0 - 0. #NLvJAP #FIFAWC

Watching the FIFA WC game between the Netherlands & Japan via the website of the official NL broadcaster, but just like previous times I watched something on that website, I can't cast it to my tv. That chromecast symbol disappears when I tap it. Glad I bought a screen enlarger for my phone.

Now also a NZ Herald ad. What's going on? Never saw so many ads for news media. Or am I just noticing it more?

Am I imagining it, or are their way more ads for Newstalk ZB on tv (TVNZ)? Seeing HDPA and MH in those ads, definitely won't make me tune into that station more. 🤮 I already avoid it like the plague. It's unfortunate that sports commentary has moved there now.

Hey peeps, just are reminder so you won't get a heart attack. The annual test of the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system is happening TONIGHT between 6pm-7pm to all capable phones and other SIM-connected devices.

That's today's chores done, including prepping tonight's dinner. Just a pity I had to cry doing it, but it will be worth it. #cuttingleek

@paullecomtephoto.nz Are all FIFA WC games shown by TVNZ only, or are some also on Sky? I've a Sky Sport Now sub & can't afford another sub from TVNZ, so I'm looking at ways to watch games that aren't free-to-air. Mainly interested in All White & "Oranje" (Netherlands) & "big" games with favourites.

Have Newsroom stopped posting (links to) articles? They only seem to be posting photos with text now. Kind of pointless for a news account.

Cameron Roigard is the best on the field in this semi thus far. An exciting player, who'll be crucial for the ABs. I hope he can stay fit. #HURvBLU #SuperRugbyPacific

I was hoping that this Super Rugby Aupiki season would be different for the Hurricanes Poua, but they're starting the 2026 season like they finished the previous season: with a big loss. They haven't won a competition game since 9 March 2024. #Aupiki2026

And if that isn't bad enough, the man who has just become a trillionaire is also a disgusting piece of n@zi sh*t.

What the heck was that for an awfull AI generated ad for Didi? I don't know what Didi is, but I don't want that sh*t on my tv screen. Ughhh 🤮

Saw that often at my previous workplace (a shop): - elderly customers asking for help because they didn't understand the new parking meters (which didn't accept coins) - or preferring our shop because we still accepted cash, while other shops didn't (couldn't remember pin numbers; scared of paywave)

This won't help people who don't work every day. If, like me, you are not able to work full-time, you don't travel enough to reach that cap. I support the policy, but there should be a way for part-timers to benefit from it as well. Just overall lowering the fares would have been better. #nzpol

If only if this was about the library website, but it's not. The criticism concerns the costs of the website devoted to the library building! Some people don't seem to understand the difference!

Brrrrr, I've tried to keep my power bill down, but today I really have to use my heater. The wind makes it so cold!! It's coming straight from Antarctica!

Forecast: sunny, northerlies & 16 degrees. So I did wash some clothes & sheets. Reality: clouds, no sun, no wind & cold. The wash won't dry. Instead it will be damp & smell bad, because a neighbour is burning bad wood in his woodburner. Will probably have to wash the same load again tomorrow.☹️

More "Tr*mpian" bs from the government. Taking more rights and freedoms away, every single day. 😡

Many taxpayer $$ being wasted on that Grenada to Petone link road again, this morning. Since 9.30am, a helicopter has been flying to/from the Grenada end (possibly where the tunnel is going to be). The noise is annoying. Don't want to imagine what the noise from traffic on that road is going to be.

Little #eqnz? Heard it more than felt it.

The site the article is about does not have a library catalogue or any other functionality because it's not a library website. It's just a brochure site about the *building*. www.tematapihi.govt.nz The *library* website is wcl.govt.nz

Until he changes his mind or caves in to pressure from his RW pals in the US, his fellow coalition leaders and/or lobbyist groups. #nospine #nzpol

Listening to an Italian radio station with great music via the Garden app! Totally lifting my mood & even singing, nobody else at home to hear it 😆! 🎤 Is there an (almost) ad-free app with NZ stations? What's your favourite radio app?

When the last rays of sunshine disappear behind the Wellington hills and sunset is near at 4.30 in the afternoon, you know Winter is coming. Only 3 weeks to go until the days get longer again. Can't wait. I hate Winter darkness as much as Winter weather. (GIF: not Wellington)

Urgghh, "rushed through under urgency" and "allowing AI to make decisions" are enough to raise suspicions.

Not liking all these heavy rain warnings and watches on my feed.

No Shit, Sherlock! That's because you're doing it all wrong! You're doing EVERYTHING wrong!

Tui bath time. I'll try to film it again (and for longer) when the sun is shining, so you can see the beautiful colours in the feathers. It's always such a joy to watch!

They don't even notice their hypocrisy and privilege. Or they don't care if they're made aware of it. #nomorals

Look what happens if you invest in renewable energy!
