Allegedly the banned-for-life list from the soon to shutter Parkview Tavern.

We’ll likely never know (or at least not for a very long time), but the fact that 4 out of the 5 Eyes countries are adopting age restrictions on online activity is probably connected to the utility to their spy agencies of the inevitable precursor: digital identities & age verification.

If anyone is still on Spotify because of its artist Radio function you really need to try @qobuz.bsky.social . I’m listening to an amazing playlist prompted by local artist Serebii.

Reposting cause surely someone could build this

Please share my lovely Bluesky friends. Caring Caller is Nationwide. Companionship visits available in Auckland Central suburbs and West Auckland. I may have people who will be able to go to the North Shore. No availability in Counties Manukau currently.

I hate to use this word but this is a scoop: parents are being fined and chased by schools for having unwell, dying, and disabled children. Some have been fined of threatened for - among other things - keeping kids home when a parent has died. www.emilywrites.co.nz/parents-fine...

This is kit I’d wear

hmmmm, Ōtautahi whānau: if I'm going to the Lyttelton Arts Factory this weekend (1 Sumner Rd) where would be the best place to look for parking? aka where does one park in Lyttelton in general? just drive around until I find one on the side of the road or is there a larger carpark I'm not finding?

we were chatting last night following the sad news of Anthony Head's passing and remembering the Buffy episode where the book of spells was as Gaeilge and I spent a solid 2 hours hunting down the original source of the news about the bus route in Dublin and reader, I found it #speirgorm

Belatedly, have discovered Ahoribuzz/Fly my Pretties’ incredible funk of Turnaround, while listening to @rnz’s Top 100 waiata. Give it the prize now. What a glorious piece of NZ funk. youtu.be/kNHDfl__g2c?...

We are so sad to hear of the passing yesterday of Roger Perry. As Simon Grigg @opdiner.com says on Facebook, "If you went clubbing in Auckland in the 80s to 2000s, you knew Roger Perry. Roger was more than just a DJ...He was a primary reason inner city... audioculture.co.nz/articles/ten...

“Legitimate Concerns”

Rain is good and all but for me this weather is instantly energy sapping

This is a cat checkpoint, relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

Nicola Willis's new household budget savings plan is to reduce the household income by 25% whilst costs go up by 10%, and then say it's the fault of the household having too many people in it...even though it's the same number as it was before

Holy shit

Really interesting Kōrero on RNZ just now with Jacquie Southey from Save The Children NZ about their mahi on children’s digital media use. I’m pleased to be supporting this research with my donations!

Key budget message is a bit on the nose. But fair enough - I appreciate the honesty.

@radionz.nzcow.com (I know that’s not an official account) why does the news report say the Government has prioritised fuel? That’s a framing that gives too much credit

Don’t we want to be more like Finland?

incredibly exciting day today as we break cover on Lume, and get to start sharing everything we've been working on for the last couple of years. you'll see us everywhere in the Aotearoa media today, but I also wanted to share what it means to me personally. newsletter.sachajudd.com/archive/anno...

On to something more mundane. My elderly mum needs a new android phone. Any recommendations in the low to medium price range? Not high spec. TIA!

I’m going to pester Helen White of Mt Albert about the Marcroft bill. She did a recent local issues survey that only gave two genders in it which I pointed out as very disappointing.

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

Lorde are we finally back?

Did Chippy say something obtuse and defeatist on RNZ yet again today? #nzpol

Yes, calling a liquid "gas" used to bug me no end. Then I discovered that it ought actually to be "caz," not "gas." It's based on a trade name. A thread... 1/6

Good

Reposting again bc we all need to start the week with Tube kittens on the Pick-a-kitty Line.

God I wish there was a job where I could earn all the money I need by locking myself in a room for a series of 3 to 4 hours stints once or twice a year where I just had to answer questions and write essays but there really isn’t. Life is NCEA.

@rnz.co.nz.web.brid.gy Federated Mountain Club rep why even say conservation estate needs “to pay its way”? Do not concede this!

Not Winston; Luxon 🚨It’s happening🚨

Stunning! www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/on-the-up...

This discourse induced me to read the article, which is excellent so I’m glad I did. The reviewed book sounds super interesting as well.

So sad to read that the Others Way Festival is no more 😞. It was a very special event
