Boomers don't know how to change the channel. It would be interesting to see streaming numbers against that. My guess is that for example a high profile tik-tok video would be 2-3x One News?

Democracy shouldn't be bought. Donations should be capped at $1000

Farah@kiwifarah.bsky.social · 21h ago

New political donations just published. Two big donations associated with NZ richest people (according to NBR's rich list) Mowbray and Hart. #NZPol Tracker page here: www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I didn't read the article, but is it because he's a creepy weirdo?

Fuck off Luxon. We don't want ya or your tub of lard speaker of the house that blocked so many things that could have been great when he was EQ minister.

CHCH is the shining example of what can be done after National was defeated & the left got on with shit. Gaslighting & public stupidity is a helluva drug.

Also, when he's rolled, and he will get rolled, it'll be fun to be able to call him a snivelling little fuck weasel without getting set upon by DPS if I ever happen to see him in public. #NZPOL #worst.pm.eva

"It is my firm belief that division and disunity are a major distraction only 90 days out from the election. "I also believe this distraction is unfair to the New Zealand people" I can't speak for everyone here Chris, but this New Zealander is finding it bloody hilarious mate. #NZPOL

Fables UCL prediction. This was a little more flakey as I had to remind it LFC made UCL as EPL got 5 spots

I asked Fable to predict the EPL final result:

Watched the new Spider Man movie with my youngest last night. It was good, but they leave a lot of back story unsaid. I get that there are rabid fans that breathe the MCU, but there are also casual people who can't remember wtf is going on between movies they watch once a few years ago.

I don't get it Labour. Asleep at the wheel. WAKE THE FUCK UP. This should be such an easy election victory after three years of material from this inept govt to choose from, but Hipkins in the middle just wants none of it. #NZPOL

First day as a dictator I would make social studies and te reo mandatory in high school for all students. What would you do? #FirstDayDictator

This would be predominately left wing Dunedin. Coincidence?

CEO Johnny Cans@oldmatecans.bsky.social · 3w ago

So the Dunedin Hospital replacement was paused, costing money, then restarted but scaled down so the new hospital will have fewer beds than the old too-small hospital, so the Government could save money to build roads in the North Island they're not going to build any more. Anyone going to say that?

I think if anyone cared to go back into history, racist tirades by Winston in an election cycle would be pretty common. He's dog whistling to his base. Not defending it. The guy should have been run out years ago, but far too many racist boomers in NZ for that #nzpol

If David Seymour is in the classroom, then unwanted DM's in their socials is the answer. #nzpol

Anyway, we can get back to normal life now the soccer football WC is over. Well played Spain. RYAN FOX WON THE BRITISH OPEN. That's way more important and relevant.

In other news? Do we have another Major Golf champ? I've been avoiding news sites as I haven't watched the GP yet.

England took the lead and then forgot you have to play football to win a match.

When did programming languages stop having drawing primitives as part of their standard library? Maybe when graphics drivers started to be a thing? (Reading a Mac Pascal book for shits and giggles).

Didn't predict this result tbh. French rattled. Well played Spain.

Impartial commentators would be good. Twats

Dan@arepublic86.bsky.social · last mo.

🇳🇴Norway🇳🇴, and Erling Haaland in particular, are just having the time of their lives this World Cup. Love it.

Not that it matters. Norway are going all the way

England you twats. Always finding a way to self-destruct.

For all its many, many faults, blatant FIFA corruption and everything else wrong with the game, holy shit. Only football can produce scenes and games like this. Norway you little bloody beauties.

Corrupt FIFA yet again. Doing everything they can to keep Brazil in it. Never a penalty

www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/6... Interesting article. It feels like the White Ferns have underperformed for quite a while now, outside of that amazing T-20 WC win. Time for a coaching change? Wonder what Craig Cumming is up to?
