They're crunchy, cinnamon sugary and chocolatey.

I'm not allowed to try the savoury ones because that will become an obsession.

Oh no!

I treated myself!

I didn't need to know how good chocolate churro Turtle Chips are.

I cannot unknow this 😔

Very pleased to see Helen Clark calling the current NZ govt’s response the disgrace that it is.

I just finished Bonds of Hercules by Jasmine Mas. Filthy fun

Car just went past in lil ol Auckland flying two big Iranian flags, honking and getting lots of honks, I somehow doubt it is the opposition celebrating regime change

I haven't asked for any coffee tips for a couple of months - but I could really do with topping up my financial reserves so I can focus on running Rights Aotearoa. I have had lots of expenses recently.

If you can contribute, I would be so grateful. Details below.

We only have 14 days of fossil fuel storage at any given time. We are 14 days from shit going nuclear causing a massive energy shock. So about that LNG Terminal? Maybe not. How about those Solar Panels, Batteries, and better utilisation of our Geothermal? I think that would be prudent.

Hey folks, if you drive an internal combustion car here in Aotearoa New Zealand, might be a good idea to go fill up your tank today.

And think about shifting to electric.

remember end of last year when I said an NZ political party needed to be taking a strong anti-US stance asap

would be pretty fucking useful to have that primed about now

the entire world has livestream coverage, and both Israel and US have outright claimed its a war of aggression. wtf do you mean "monitoring"??

'It's just not enough': Salvation Army warns families are starving The Salvation Army's latest State of the Nation paints a dire picture of worsening child poverty and unemployment.

“Food grant limits had not been changed since 2008.
And you wonder why people aren't managing to get by."

“MSD cannot grant someone more than $200 in food grants over a 26-week period, unless they determine there are exceptional circumstances.”

Love this

And good lord I need the adrenaline to leave my body so I can sleep.

The police were all lovely and I'm a little gutted I didn't get to meet the police dog.

Then as I'm waiting to make a statement, the dumb ass dude drives past again!

My dude!

I don't think he got away from the two cars that took off after him.

I hope she's ok. I hope they get some support

Turns out my "can make anyone feel comfortable" skills work well with distraught women. And I can multi task talking to the 111 person and ask casual leading questions.

He drove back around once while we chatted.

I was able to keep her calm and in the car until 4! police vehicles arrived.

All the adrenaline...

Heard a woman screaming over Bridgerton, looked out the window and a dude was hitting a woman on the side of the road. I called the cops. As I came out of the house, he got in a car and drove off.

She got in her car and i chatted with her while the police came.

Lets do the same in Aotearoa New Zealand

Six colourful books spine up on a couch. The books are all six books from the Game Changers series by Rachel Reid.

In the midst of a truly shitty couple of weeks, I bought myself some sunshine.

Gang members now officially outnumber police officers While the police have struggled to recruit 500 new officers, gang numbers have continued to swell – an increase of 13% since the last General Election.

Technically that now means the gangs are the cops.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he ‘can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

And now it comes out he was 40 rows back and they put him next to a live mic. The BAFTA's are going to know hell intimately by the time the lawyers are done

New police powers to ‘move on’ rough sleepers only mask NZ’s deeper homelessness problem Women make up half of the people experiencing homelessness in New Zealand. A study shows access to permanent housing improves their health and lifts their income.

NZ is an international outlier in that more than half of those experiencing homelessness are women, often with dependent children. A "housing first" approach makes a huge difference to their lives (and men's), writes @universityofotago.bsky.social's Brodie Fraser theconversation.com/new-police-p...

“The submissions we received overwhelmingly agreed this [saving money prior to the budget] was the real reason for the bill being passed under urgency, and an unacceptable reason for such a radical departure from the rule of law and due process.”

BAFTA and BBC really are emerging as the villains in this, aren't they.

Human rights protections for transgender Kiwis not a priority – Govt

The Law Commission's recommendations to explicitly bar housing and hiring discrimination against transgender and intersex people have been sidelined.

I cannot think of a funnier or more appropriate summary of the state of the news industry in 2026 than “the Onion has more subscribers than the Washington Post”

please help make it happen
