Tech-Bros in a nutshell

But even more lame.

I listen to the local breakfast show - One of only two or three in NZ that aren't Jono & f*^&ing Ben -
But this was unintentional- Caught in a shop/car.
"Laugh your way home with Matty and PJ"? They couldn't pay us enough to.

Has been for a while, eh?

Ya'll know #Whamageddon, right?
Well, listening to The Hits' dismal, simulcast afternoon drive(l) show, I heard they're playing the utterly unimaginatively named "The Mariah Carey Game" from now til Christmas.
I you hear "All I Want for Christmas is You" you're 'out'
Creativity is dead at NZME HQ

What the fuck are this chaotic coalition going to do?!

Just where do they plan to banish all the rough sleepers and homeless in Auckland's CBD to?

Hamilton's CBD??!!

I hear Tauranga's CBD is full of empty shops and National / NZF voters...

It doesn't get said enough that Nats have built just 45 State houses since coming into government, no one is being housed in your ghost houses Bishop and now you want to hunt people off the streets? Where worse can you send them, the sewers where you slither? #NZPol

I found an ancient tapestry.
Circa 1995...

Have they considered low unemployment, a liveable wage, affordable housing and breaking overpriced supermarket duopolies?

Chris Bishop demonstrating the selection process used for fritters millions of dollars of taxpayers' assets to party donors...

And the funny thing is, underneath, they're the same car. Basically.

July page from my 2026 Calendar A sign for a train crossing in a hoar frost & fog, Middlemarch

Dec page from my 2026 Calendar Aerial view of the mighty Waimakariri River under a glowing orange sunset

Ok it's finally happening.

My Calendar 2026 is now available for pre-order. Printing by end of the month to allow for international shipping.

(sorry no international orders just yet, still setting that up).

So happy I could cry.

Did Bowden host all of them?

How are these two, who have been so instrumental in the economic and employment destruction, not amongst the 160,000?

And this is more cr@p from Stuff.

The heading is utterly misleading. The punter didnt bet $730k - he bet SEVEN DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS!

But thats how rubbishy our media has become. Not just trivia presented as "news",but openly misleading.

The imported ideology behind education reform | E-Tangata “If a ‘knowledge-rich’ curriculum isn’t grounded in te ao Māori and the very people and things that make Aotearoa unique, who is determining the knowledge and where does it come from?” — Jessie Moss o...

I knew quitting my high paying, vig city job and moving back to my sleepy hometown would pay off romantically!

Because @foxylustygrover.bsky.social had set up shop in your kitchen, and @ninjakitty.bsky.social had already bagsed rhe study?

Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

Elizabeth Rata is *at best* a crank and the fact that Minister Stanford gave her so much influence is malpractice.

Let's be clear: the removal of Te Tiriti from the Education and Training Act is an attack on the human rights of every child in every school.

I can only read the first 3 paragraphs of this, but calling Emily Writes a "blogger" given her very impressive background is a bit naff. Anyway, ask me why I helped pen the letter template to Andrew Little 🙂 #nzpol

I was in a discussion last night where it was pointed out that what is happening here is exactly what happened in the UK with Gove, & it hasn’t turned out so great for them over there.
We have to stop this, MUST stop this!! #nzpol

There have been so many stories in just our seven years, and we have so many crafters, but the thing crafters and people searching to buy the perfect gift have in common is they all want to knock it out of the park!

Oh wow that’s an impressive number of close off’s and massive for it to be the last one.
