Why Triceratops? Was it Danny Dunn that made Triceratops my favourite childhood dinosaur?

So the 'Full of shit zone' has extended beyond its usual government parliamentary bench perimeter?

He chose his path

Liquidations surge to near post-GFC highs Almost 3,000 company liquidations in 2025, highest since 2010; Petone's Soprano restaurant & others in Wellington & Christchurch close; Inflation much higher for poorest, pensioners & beneficiaries

FYI I’ve opened this one up for full public reading, listening & sharing after requests from paying subscribers. Their support allows me to do this public interest journalism on Aotearoa’s political economy around housing, climate & poverty in public. #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/liquidatio...

And don't forget the seabed mining NZ First support off the west coast of Muriwai Kaipara

More like, An exploitation of Ubers?

All the best with that, after a few years of dialysis (due to renal damage from a rare immune condition) my Mum got a cadaver transplant kidney that's lasted nearly three decades so far.

So we're in February now, and I'm sharing this again because getting my other half a kidney from a live donor is still my number one priority from 26. If you're in NZ and want to know more – or just talk about it, please reach out to me. It would mean a lot.

And please share the original post 🥰

Female #kakapo Kohengi on her three eggs on Pukenui/Anchor Island today. We don't yet know if they're fertile, but will investigate soon. So far fertility on Anchor is very high: only 8 infertile out of 33 checked. We expect many more infertile eggs though. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Amazing coda here.

On RNZ, when pressed, Shane Jones said mining would return $2-3 Billion. When Ingrid Hipkiss asked 'Over how many years?', his reply 'over a ten year period'.

So $200 Million/year to stuff up our own backyard, what a deal.

David Seymour says Kiwis are too squeamish about privatisation – history shows why they lost the appetite The ACT Party leader believes government assets should provide a return or be sold. But a majority of New Zealanders are consistently opposed to more privatisation.

David Seymour says kiwis are squeamish about handing state assets - paid for by everyone - to ACT party donors to make profits they don’t need & reduce services & supports we require for a dignified life. #nzpol

Yeah David we’re as understandably squeamish as you are self-serving. Hugely. #ACTout

Prime Minister Luxon, 'PM Unaware' He has no portfolio; his only role is to be aware of what his government is doing.

Ride safe

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!

I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

Definitely worth voting against it. 🗳️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

Being the victims of genocide does not exclude you from committing genocide.

It's almost like someone is being 'rewarded' for destroying it

Worst part is it's not even megabucks earned for destroying it. Not by us at least. It's a pittance. We're giving overseas mining and drilling conglomerates 99% of the value, and the 1% we get will not even cover the cleanup we're left with.

It's beyond idiotic. It's vile. It's vandalism.

This bulk export of raw primary goods needs to stop
