Chris Luxon: “I have the full support of our caucus”… starting now… starting now… now…

Chris Bishop pretending to give a shit about the increased homelessness he is directly responsible for fills me with rage.🤬 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol
I bought a slow cooker somewhere between 2019-2021 after seeing some amazing dhal recipes online. My partner is using it for the first time today, 5 to 7 years later. 😂
This is a man who fundamentally sees not a single solitary valuable thing about research except any monetary return it can provide, and what his government is doing to our research system illustrates this perfectly

I hated the RNZ redesign so much that I vibe-coded my own Firefox plugin, lol. It doesn't look the greatest, but at least I can see 14 articles on the homepage without scrolling. 😂
Eww. The item title font on the RNZ website is more difficult to read and they've also put fewer news items on the front page. Looks like a cheaper copy of the BBC World site. :(
Thanks for giving me spoilers once again, Google AI Overview. 🤬 #enshittification
30 day streak on Connections! I feel as though it has been an easier run, lately, with fewer groups that have required U.S.-specific knowledge.
It has taken me a while, but I've beaten my 113 streak on Wordle, today. 🎉
Luxon on breakfast just now standing outside the cordon at Mt Maunganui finishing his facile interview with the inane electioneering slogan "Fixing the basics..." - the man is completely devoid of empathy or tact. #NZPol
Is this what we can expect this election year? Tax payer funded advertorials in support of the current government swamping the media? #nzpol
I trust all newspapers will be running with the headline “FIFA Peace Prize recipient invades Venezuela to steal oil”
Just house them you heartless callous bastards. Shipping them to poorer suburbs - because thats what will happen - so entitled folks can shop and eat without the reminder that political choices have consequences is reprehensible #nzpol

During lockdown we had a "Family Taskmaster" every week. One person would set the task/judge and we would have some time (usually an hour or 2) to complete it before we would all join a video chat to reveal what we had done. My profile pic is from one where we had to reproduce a famous work of art.
Zach Weinersmith@zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 9mo agoWhat's a charming memory you have from the worst period of the pandemic?
These guys are dangerous idiots. It's tiresome enough already having to read, and re-check, the labels on everything that I eat, and now they want to have me scan a QR code to get to that information.
Denying redress to abuse in care survivors who've committed crimes is unconscionable. Essentially they're saying the Crown will only show remorse for their failings to people who don't show their damage on the outside.
This is arguing about what equipment to kit the ambulance with at the bottom of the cliff. Stop unnecessary urgency, stop accepting rubbish bills that don't clear the quality bar, and you won't end up with a firehose of outrage from a disrespected public. 🤷♀️ newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/23/t...
Tighter rules may be needed to stem flow of public submissions, says MP
'Coordinated, largely online campaigns' make it harder for politicians to consider good-faith submissions on laws

#nzpol Sometimes a policy is so stupid it makes you question the very fabric of reality. Decisions so fabulously, almost wantonly dumb, you wonder if we actually live in a simulation. Welcome to the world of removing Jobseeker Support for 18 & 19-year-olds. craigrenney.substack.com/p/a-small-wr...
A small wrinkle in the Jobseeker policy
The government’s recent changes to benefits feel like this: the house is on fire, and this policy is them turning off the smoke alarm and saying it’s fixed
