caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

probably one of the most iconic images of any Australian PM

The select committee report on the Regulatory Standards Bill is in. 📝166,000 submissions. ❌98.7% opposed. Yet National are going to continue supporting it. 🗣New Zealand could not have been louder, but Luxon still isn’t listening.

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

I’m sick of RW govts trying to separate “the unions” from their members. “The unions” can’t take strike actions without balloting members. “The unions” aren’t forcing members to strike; they can’t. Members are voting to strike, because of shite offers from this govt. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Finecast is back, baby!

So the “protester” who broke Winston’s window was actually burgling his house? Maybe he should complain to the government about crime rates rather than falsely accusing the Greens. #NZPol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

“Inland Revenue also did a systems upgrade [recently] so that the MyIR system more prominently shows any tax debt when people log in. I've heard some feedback that some people think it feels aggressive”. Awww. Maybe pay your tax then? #NZPol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Share this far and wide. Make jokes about it. Embarrass the heck out of Seymour. (arrogant prick) #nzpol

The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like: "We need to make people work for more years" "We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way" "We have to cut benefits for young people" never: "We need to tax the rich"

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

AI has lost the dunce vote. It’s over

It’s kinda funny that in Shatterpoint there are only eleven Imperial characters that have actual person names and two of them are named Gideon. Do you think that about 20% of the stormtroopers are also secretly named Gideon?

Portland right now.

To ask a pakeha majority to remove representation of an indigenous minority is ongoing white supremacist colonisation. #nzpol

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it? Chiitan forever

Step one: engineer a recession and cancel infrastructure projects. Step two: get mad at people for not having a job thespinoff.co.nz/politics/10-...

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

I love this prediction. It sounds about right…… So which of the media will be the hero we need and ask him if he is holding out for the life long handouts? Come on, you lot know the time line. ASK HIM

Workers Above Capital? That's right! Thank you Comrade Sign.

this implies the existence of a Yaoi Gagarin

Need to spend more time with playing Battlefield 6 with actual people before I’d flesh this out into a full review, but I did finish the campaign. The campaign is kinda terrible. www.patreon.com/posts/140798...

“New study says drinking more than one soda daily may increase liver disease risk by 50% (for diet) to 60%(regular sugar).” Actually reading the study, it increases risk of metabolic dysfunction fatty liver disease from 1% to 1.5-1.6% over a 10 year period. I’m still drinking the soda.

I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

every fucking time

you see kids, back in the day we had 120 characters and no gifs. art was hard

national: we absolutely must ensure the police are empowered to take photos of maori ki- sorry, sorry, potential criminals

So, when..?

You read accounts of the creeping dread in Germany in the 30's, but do you think it was ever also this fucking stupid?

As OCR rates have come down, bank net interest margins have gone up - the OCR is at 2.5% and the NIM is at 2.6%. As a point of comparison, in Aussie the NIM is about 1.7%. So - as you say - mortgage rates are about 1% too high, solely due to profiteering

Now this is going to come as a shock but it seems that the Cones Hotline is a complete waste of time and money.

Cool beans, let’s do that then.

Just for clarity, the unemployment numbers under this government may look terrible, but keep in mind, Luxon has driven tens of thousands of Kiwis overseas as well, so its actually far worse. These numbers are just the ones that couldnt leave.
