Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

Time to look at BrickLink 😉

Wild to have a Government simultaneously claiming they *can't* pay essential public servants more because they just don't have the money, but also being hyped to drop $18b on a road.

They are fundamentally unserious people.

Councillor calls out ‘anti-EV propaganda’ after fatal bus fire North Shore councillor Richard Hills said he was saddened to see misinformation about a fatal crash which saw the Auckland Transport bus engulfed in flames on Tāmaki Drive.

As soon as I saw the headline, I immediately knew which counciller leaped to the defence of EVs.

Well done @richardhills.bsky.social, for standing up against the misinformation. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Can we just fill Auckland Council with clones of Richard Hills?

The irony is lost on Willis

A poster in black and gold - the colours of Ray Chung’s Independent Together lot - on a white ground, asks Wellington voters to engage in a bit of critical thinking before casting their vote in the local elections. Do you believe in fairy tales? Didn’t think so Don’t believe candidates who claim they can freeze rates without cutting essential public services. Don’t vote for their shIt!

#nzpol What the poster says.

More concerts it is then. Couldn't give a crap about men running around on a field

Hopefully this means the media start using the _correct_ name

Jellyfin is the way

But obviously a 25kV version right 🤓

I misread this as Weird Al-voiced and wanted to know what was so weird that they're weird even for him

Opposing fluoride is an instant no vote from me
