Fairfield’s so edgy we put lettuce on our toasted sammies.

Great idea, Nick. Let's start with Sanitarium and the Wright Foundation!

"This is also known as being too stupid and stubborn to know when to give up."

homeless elderly people' is the obvious phrase to use in this headline. I mean, why beat around the bush?

Shot a few clips practicing with the drone in the council reserve part of our gully & I thought you might like to see this. The native plantings in the foreground are maybe 7-8 years old. Things grow FAST in Aotearoa!

Fun Christmas music fact: Mariah Carey has made more than $NZ 100 million off "All I want for Xmas is you".

Yum! I'm drinking a Leffe Blonde with ice in the glass and it's less sweet than I remember and crisp & delicious.

Watching 2 popular youtubers doing a 1 hr 40 min fanboi critique of Prince's Sign O The Times and they've reached "I can never take the place of your man" and neither of them remember the song and if that doesn't sum up the internet in 2025 I don't know what does.

Simply astounding to think this was released THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO. youtu.be/8EdxM72EZ94?...

This youtube vid is nothing short of AMAZING! Her insights into Rosalia's references to female saints (& their lives) IS ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING. youtu.be/i8cnVTYvpl8?...

Brilliant and sad

When Trump's goons used Sabrina Carpenter's music to promote their brand, she told them to get their filthy hate-filled hands off her material. America's Churches should pay heed.

Boastful post about how Christmas breaks & Januaries in Aotearoa are the best time of the year. Rescued at the end by the link to the almost-impossibly-brilliant Rosalia (do click please!) open.substack.com/pub/mrjeffho...

Scenes from Xmas brunch with the kidz. Meri Kirihimete!

Definitely not looking and just asking for the sake of posterity, but have we been issued a family photo of the Luxons in cringeworthy pose this year?

Great to see the Cabinet paying Yuletide homage to the Court of King Louis XVI in this time of economic crisis.

Brutal takedown. Well deserved.

Pan fried John Dory from sea treasures on rice mixed with last night‘s green salad. Everyone else has ordered kebabs from down the road. I win!

Disappointed this psycho-creep find get himself on the bill with those other two bozos, who got pummelled & floored by their boxing opponents.

If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there's an open source tool for that.

Seeing still images of the handover of prisoners for the CECOT concentration camp on bsky (pic 1&2) and thought "that looks a lot like the immigrant holding centre in Sicario." (pics 3&4)

There seems to be a growing belief that Britain's inevitable trajectory into a ultra RW Farage-ist hellhole can be circumvented by promising to join back up with the EU and tbh at this stage it seems a worthwhile punt. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You may have been wondering: where in fact does Jeff's ute live? Wonder no more, bluesky.

Remembering the good ole days when a paper like the NYT wouldn't have saved the fact that demand for US Whiskey has dropped to near zero IN ITS BIGGEST MARKET for the 15th para. Damn' all this state censorship y'all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/d...

The US Government's abandonment of its Budapest Memorandum commitments to Ukraine will go down as one of the 21st Century's most venal acts of political betrayal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

This new NZ-India deal could well have been sponsored by Claytons.

Short excellent yarn here.

Based on my bsky timeline, I can definitely confirm banning that CBS 60 Minutes ICE concentration camp piece really did the trick in terms of stopping people talking about and sharing it.

Eating a very presentable sirloin, cooked just on the medium side of rare, listening to the peerless Lauren Hill up loud through vintage Boses. I can think of worse ways of spending the day-before-the-day-before-kirimihete going. How’s your day going, Aotearoa peeps?

This is being reported as a sinkhole, but it looks more as if water undermined the canal embankment and sucked the canalboat out with it. Either way, that sucks. www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

RIP Chris Rea. Remembering one of the great yot rock tracks of so time. music.apple.com/nz/album/on-...

"I am standing for election in the Wellington Central seat & I'm confident voters will elect me in recognition of how, as Finance Minister, I've improved the standard of living of New Zealanders during the first term of this Govt." she said.* *Excerpt from "Things Nicola Willis never said."

Kirikiriroa #cycling post! Found this dinky new 15km circuit to stretch my legs around the city, without getting too tangled up with motor vehicles. It includes a simply lovely piece of paved river path from Peacockes Rd to the Cobham bridge.

They both have a future in boxing. I support more fights.

Oh they understand alright

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Hahahaha

Have arrived in Aotearoa! Weather is blissfully cold and I got a glimpse of Rangitoto Island, one of the ridiculous number of volcanoes under Auckland. Rangitoto is the youngest, having last erupted in c.1500CE.

I think more manosphere influencers should get into professional boxing

Oops.

Spring into Sunday with this beautiful waltz, Aotearoa! music.apple.com/nz/album/la-...

Since, AFAIK, it isn't probed by New Zealand media or critically raised elsewhere incl. in parliament, it will never cease to surprise me how the Foreign Minister esp., & others in Govt willingly appear on a far-right podcast platform that promotes, & normalises ChCh terrorist's violent extremism.

Dude your plan is not complicated. People understand your plan. They also understand it hasn’t worked because, stay with me here, it was a bad plan. If we’re talking about understanding here I don’t think ‘people’ are the ones suffering from a lack of it. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...
