Transcript of Cartoon This cartoon has four panels, and is colored in various tones of sepia. Panel 1 A man stands alone in a room, holding out a shiny ball in one hand. He is speaking to the ball. Nearby, an open box with “Magic Ball” written on it lies open on the floor. The man is looking a little anxious, and is dressed in a slightly old-fashioned style, with a bow tie and a vest with thin vertical stripes. MAN: Oh, magic ball… I wish I lived in the old days. Society was better then. Life was better. MAGIC BALL: I, the Magic Ball, will grant your wish! Panel 2 The man continues speaking to the magic ball, now with an overjoyed expression. MAN: Wow, it works! Thank you, magic ball! It’s been my lifelong dream to live back when everything was civilized! MAGIC BALL: I’ll send you to any century you wish! But choose carefully, because when you get there, you’ll be Black. Panel 3 Still holding the ball, the man looks up as he concentrates, his brow knitted. MAN: In that case, I’ll go to… Please send me to… To… Panel 4 Dejected, the man walks away, tossing the ball away over one shoulder.

I mean, it is hilarious to now see both NZF *and* National saying they want to repeal it, but fuck you Luxon for being such a pathetic leader that you dragged the country through all this shit for, effectively, NOTHING. #nzpol […]

Cartoon by Pat Bagley: The trump 'piece' plan: trump wanders around a map of Ukraine, Putin watching smugly as trump pronounces: Putin wants that piece, and that piece, and that piece, and... Zelensky looks VERY pissed, appropriately.

Peace of shittiness.

@whatthehall great photo!!

NZX Head Of Dairy Insights Cristina Alvarado said labour costs affected the price of butter in supermarkets, but over time, there should be a fall in butter prices. "We need to take into account there's a lot of cost that goes into the local supply chain, including manufacturing, and even though the ingredient itself has dropped internationally it's only been in the last few months. "It will take time for them to come through." However, Alvarado said if the prices of butter kept dropping there would be a downward pressure that would soon be seen coming through at supermarkets. Alvarado believed New Zealanders were paying a "fair" price for butter at the supermarket. "If we had much cheaper product it would bring horrible problems internationally for us as a lot of free trade agreements would be in conflict of that. "In terms of what you pay for butter I would say we should probably accept it a little bit more to help our economy."

Absolutely get fucked! #NZPol

Definition of the reo Māori word, hika. It has three meanings: 1. An exclamation meaning heavens, whoa! Or similar. 2. A mate or friend, with no particular gender attached 3. The pudendum.

This is Sgt. Al Powell. He was integral in stopping a terrorist attack in Los Angeles at Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas in 1988.

How many of you will share to honor his heroism?

Now that Trump supports releasing the Epstein files, which are in the custody of the branch of government he controls, he doesn't need a congressional vote. He can just release them. Perhaps he didn't understand this.

Couldn't agree more. How quickly we forget they entered AoNZ and immediately ignored the rules about rider and driver safety ( some bullsh about 'our drivers are not really drivers'). And went on from there. That's not to say our regular taxi firms are providing a great service […]

There's something beautiful about a paper wasp nest ..... And also uncomfortable! Especially since it's on one of your sliding door frames!
