False information spreads quicky at times like this, check for quality sources before sharing, and remember that people are more likely to believe false information if it aligns with their existing worldview- you are not immune to propaganda

My partner claims to not have a sweet tooth. Someone gave me these as a thank you when I helped them out at work. Nice to see he left me one of my gift. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Truckers surprised by update of NZ's 50-year-old manual on bridge building Bridges built recently in Auckland Waikato are off limits to the heaviest haulers.

This is sadly hilarious.

"More Roads!", but those roads cant be used by the bigger trucks recent governments have encouraged instead of, you know, investing in rail.

Pay attention Aotearoa NZ.
The National/NZ First/ACT coalition govt are 'considering' giving your legally protected private biometric data to a foreign country being led by white supremicist fascists who are rounding up 20 million US residents for mass deportation via concentration camps.🧐🀬

Glowing character references for abusers to be banned in court β€˜As if being a β€˜good bloke’ cancels out the violence you perpetrate.’

This needs to happen in AoNz

Character references to be scrapped in Victorian courts for crimes including rape and assault

Day 24 in Pilot Bay where my tri will be. Close to around the same outgoing tide as it will be on the day. One direction was ace. The other was painful.

Government deciding whether US should get access to New Zealanders' biometric data Officials are in talks with the US about a new travel deal.

Just looked to see how this has been covered by NZ media and it hasn’t been widely picked up - incredibly strange given the clear concern outlined in the article, the refusal to give any answers to valid questions, and the wider, connected context of US fascism.
Democracy dies in darkness indeed.

It annoys the you know what out of me when I ask if anyone has any recommendations for a specific thing and instead of answering the question or just moving on someone feels the need to offer β€œlife advice.” πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Because he has had a week, this week it was Taco Thursday and what was to be carne asada tacos became spicy Hungarian salami, red onion, and boiled spud tacos. Still tasty.

We switched our green bin to fortnightly from monthly. Trouble is we haven’t been around when the weather is good and now I feel obligated to have something in it on collection days. Ergo I just spent β€œlunch” using a hedge trimmer while still in office clothes. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Another townhouse in our block has been advertised for an extra $30/week above what we’re paying, and our previous landlords upped theirs by $15/week, if you want to know how that β€œrents are dropping in NZ” story is playing out. πŸ™„πŸ‘€ #NZPol
