A letter to viz on why we should be removing British objects from people’s rectums, not foreign ones

I ❤️ Viz

(or ranked him last, but didn't rank either of the two other candidates)

(pointing this out not because I'm a Vanderviss fan, far from it, but to explain why under STV just numbering a few people you support may not always be the best use of your vote)

Their votes were discarded during the counting because they had not listed enough candidates.

They (just Vanderviss voters) could have swung the election either way if they had spent the time for a more nuanced vote.

In the Ōtepoti mayoral race it's interesting to look at the details of the vote counting, in particular Vanderviss's voters. At the point he was eliminated he had ~8500 votes. 1300 of those went to Sophie Barker and 2400 went to Sims. So ~4800 people just ranked Lee

Yeah I've stopped shipping to us customers, none of the shipping companies will take them (they're scared they will be stuck with the tariff if they're not delivered)

Yes, sometimes with flaming bagpipes (probably not a good idea around ice)

Please, 7 trips to Burning Man.

To be fair some times we built our own showers, radical self reliance means bring your own water, evap ponds and carting away the grey water after

Everything that makes Aotearoa New Zealand unique is related to Māori culture. Welcome to the country, that's a pōwhiri. We are gonna thrash you at sport, that's a haka. Traditional meals, that's a hāngī. Matariki that's our New Year

If you don't like Māori stuff maybe you're in the wrong country?

Lets get going!

#Gaza’s war: 2 years too long.

🔴 Famine confirmed in Gaza governorate
🔴 455 malnutrition-related deaths
🔴 Almost all cropland damaged, inaccessible, or both

The State of Israel has banned UNRWA from bringing in aid for over 7 months.
Lift the siege.

#UNRWAworks:

The vampire did come out during the day, using a sun umbrella (from the blood bank)

Yeah I attended that meeting, it was organised by one of the many ratepayers organisations (so many splitters I can't keep track which) - a bit cookery, big fans of the anti-vaxxer, I was with a small lefty contingent supporting the vampire among others

Yeah that was my feeling, the vampire did talk a lot more sense than most of the candidates

I will note that in today's Ōtepoti mayoral election the antivaxxer was outvoted by the vampire by almost 2 to 1

And we all thank you

Cartoon. Title: “Job Seeee-e-e-e” Image shows PM Christopher Luxon at the open hatch of a small plane, high above farmland. He’s leaning out, and holding up a parachute pack, labelled “Job Seeker” He’s calling out to someone falling from the plane, “And I’ve kept your parachute because you kids from low-income homes need some motivation” Then he adds, “Don’t let that disability slow you down!”

Govt to cut #JobSeeker benefit for 18 & 19 year olds who’s parents earn over $65,000, even if the teens have a disability or health condition. With #CostOfLiving & the job shortage they’re cranking up stress levels to 11, all to meet a target.

In Gaza, hunger doesn’t knock — it moves in.
It tucks the children into bed with empty stomachs.
It whispers through the night louder than the bombs.
We need food. We need safety. We need the world to care.
Please don’t scroll past our pain 💔🙏🏻

The Government of New Zealand has made a new tourism ad and it's surprsingly honest and informative!

Every teenager in town was wandering up and down, see and be seen - quite the weekly social event

Used to be every Friday in Dunedin was like that, everything open until 9, of course nothing at all open at the weekends. And over the 2 weeks from Xmas holiday tumbleweeds could have blown down George St

I've been a Vodafone/OneNZ customer since the Telecom XT debacle but I will be moving my account immediately.

Me too

The way media and business have IMMEDIATELY escalated and wrapped around to attack activists smacks of the same tacit coordination that we saw in the US when the far right weaponised Charlie Kirk’s death. This is being led by government ministers & is a massive attack on free speech & protest rights

Aotearoa: there's been at least 21 people in hospital with covid PER WEEK (if I'm reading this correctly)

Please keep up to date with your covid-19 booster vaccinations, if you can

I'm currently recovering from my 2nd bout. Being boostered & masking helped reduce my risk of being hospitalised

So my phone company (of 25 years) is firing someone for protesting against genocide! Guess it's time for me to fire them

One of them is his tail
