Thanks Elon but I'd rather go back to stone tablets and carrier pigeons. Also go fuck yourself.

I'm completely relaxed about not having a free press too. Doesn't keep me awake at night or give me a stomach ulcer or anything #nzpol

Oh god I forgot how awful the gestational diabetes test was 🤢

Absolutely no pacifiers. Lol.

Hey parents of bsky: What are some theories of parenting you were very confident in right up until you had your own kids?

I have to go see my GP to check on my mood next week. How do I explain that while I'm lightly homicidal and prone to weeping if the café at work runs out of cheese scones, it's definitely in a 23 weeks pregnant way and not in a depressed way?

As a lifelong, committed member of the three tikanga Anglican church of Aotearoa - fuck you, Franklin Graham.

10yo just asked me who Michael Jackson is. I don't know what's happening in our schools but it sure isn't education.

Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, open Facebook and then immediately regret it.

What a lovely Monday treat 🥰

I’m so old I remember when yogurt was brand new and considered weird hippie food. Your turn!

Paul Henry to stand for ACT in this year's election

Veteran broadcaster Paul Henry will run as an ACT Party candidate this election, leader David Seymour announced in Auckland on Tuesday morning.

Current uterus tenant seems far busier than the previous one. Previous tenant was a very relaxed, easy baby. I'm fucked aren't I.

Aldi should call David Seymour’s bluff. “Yup ok we’ll open in New Zealand as long as you match German supermarket regulation standards: no Sunday trading and mandatory plastic/glass container deposit schemes”

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

I normally love The Spinoff's reporting but this isn't a well-researched take. Modi's a real bad dude who operates within a corrupt political system of other real bad dudes. This also reads like "uh he said Indian stuff but I don't speak Indian lol" which rubs me extremely the wrong way #nzpol

The madness and mania behind Narendra Modi’s landmark New Zealand visit

Third time I've seen this joke this morning, still not mad.

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Noticed on my walk this afternoon that Mrs Plover has set up her annual nest at the back of Taupō college. I look forward to visiting again in the spring when the babies are hatched and she's busy shrieking avian obscenities at students and passing cars.

An important thing to know is, you can loathe Luxon, Modi and Brian Tamaki all at the same time, for they are all unsavoury characters #nzpol

Me: I don't understand what Modi's actually coming for? Like what are they going to talk about? Indian hubby: Look at me, I'm a Hindu nationalist! I blow up trains! Okay bye then. #nzpol

Luxon: I don't need to do this job

It's not that often Christopher Luxon holds a public meeting, so when he held one in Whangārei about 300 curious locals showed up to hear what he had to say.

This behaviour is unique, rather perplexing and not reported in other large whales.

I don't know why pregnancy compels me to wish ill on my fellow humans but please know that I hate you all and I hope you step on a Lego.
