Can’t tell if this is a news story or the cover of an Airport novel
How's your recall? www.davidslack.net/pm-fibs/ Which of these did Nats actually deliver? A. Funding 13 new cancer treatments in its first Budget B. 500 extra police officers within two years C. Banning cellphones in schools D. $250 a fortnight in tax relief for the average household
How fast would you run screaming from the hospital if these two told you: "We're here to do your brain surgery"? Would you even be confident they could hang out your washing without fucking it up?
Newspaper founded to argue the side of the colonisers' Waikato Invasion remains simpering handmaiden to vested interests with dismal agenda
Musical Chairs@musicalchairs.bsky.social · last mo.Anyway, look, I get it, Herald gotta do debt scare stories for clicks and to prop up the ridiculous narrative that NZ has financial debts to worry about - as opposed to our very real social, infrastructure, and ecological debts. Oh, and gross vs net is important! [Ends]
Thinking about mythical figures The Duke of Wellington, who fought the Battle of Waterloo singlehanded Eisenhower, who fought his way up multiple Normandy beaches entirely on his own And Chris Penk, who was the only one who thought Luxon was too woefully dismal to go on being our Prime Minister

Well there’s a coincidence. I’d hate to see our parliament become a dumping ground for crap CEOs
14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 2mo agoEvery conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants.
