Objectively - I can not stress enough how much - the US still hitting NZ with a 15% tariff after the govt let them open a FBI office in the capital is actually hilarious.

FBI: “We’re opening an office in New Zealand!”

NZ: “Ahhh.. bro did we invite you?”

Two of the most important Pacific musicians in history have died over the last week.

Mu was 54
Fiji was 55

It’s not just losing our legends too soon, it’s losing those inter-generational interactions that help carry the culture forward

I mean Kefka’s got the hair; but then he also had a plan! Trump feels more like Sin from FFX, but without the noble backstory

Congress? You awake?

‘Why us?’ NZ raises alarm as US eyes travel ban on Tonga, Vanuatu and Tuvalu A proposed US travel ban could block citizens from three Pacific nations from entering the country.

At some point, the U.S will ban Samoa, and all hell in the diaspora will brake loose…

Me: I just need to get my submission on the RSB in.

My Cousin: Damn, they going after the Bloods now?!

Rip to Maurice Gee, who I always thought of as the Crowded House of Kiwi literature.

“Where do you get your politics from?”

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Considering what’s happening in California, the script changes to the live action Lilo and Stitch couldn’t have been more tone-deaf.

Shaq wearing a menagerie of different-colored uniforms throughout his career. Also, "menagerie" is one of those weirds where I feel like I can never actually spell it right on my first try.

Happy Pride month!! 🏳️‍🌈

Don McGlashan wasn’t being political, he was just being respectful and a good guy by calling out a rude audience member during a fellow musicians song…

And a side effect of that just happened to be calling Chris Bishop a dickhead to his face.

There are only a handful of NZ Comedians who have ever won the Billy T Award and The Fred Award.

Two of them are Samoan women.

So very very proud of Angella Dravid for pulling off the double.

85-7…

Can we start a food poisoning rumour for Moana Pasifika?

#superrugbypacific

73-7 and 10mins left is crazy.

At least pause the game and let players swap teams to even things out!

#superrugbypacific

Did Moana Pasifika say something about The Chiefs mum?

Coz sheesh!

Run It Straight is to Rugby what Fight Club is to Boxing, and a lot of people don’t understand the massive difference.

So an ACT MP can say C**t in the New Zealand debating chamber but Māori MP’s can’t do a Haka?

Make it make sense

Peter Duttons campaign was essentially the equivalent of showing up to a State of Origin Match in an England shirt.

Fair play Australia for taking appropriate action.
