$50 to the first reporter to ask Winston if he knows the difference between socialism and communism, and why is he still getting it wrong after 50 years in politics.

Wish they could play videos in the House.
Just clips of Nats screaming for more money for businesses during Covid on repeat.

In 2022, the entire nation had ruled out working with Winston and NZ First, 2 years previously.

Same thing happened with "Covid supply chain issues"
There are *still* companies using this as an excuse for horrible service/pricing, like they haven't had six years to sort their shit.

Is Luxon trying to get Winnie to force a snap election?

Cos it seems like he's trying to get Winnie to force a snap election.

They’re at all the Asian food markets here in Dunedin.

Diesel has dropped here too. Everything has. By about 10% ish?

He may have thought they said "animus"

I mean I’m not complaining, but what the fuck happened to fuel prices?
Did the war end or something?

Of course Luxo survived the vote.
No-one would want to be Nat leader when they know they’re going to get their asses handed to them at the election.
Luxo is already getting his knighthood and was always going to peace out end of the year.

me: sorry, but i’m too old for that
them: for what?
me: yes

two images of the human body's circulatory system. One of them with good cable management

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I don't want the left to sleepwalk to victory off the back of Luxon being so bad. I want them to present an alternative with vision and increased equity for society. I don't want Labour with their milquetoast "we couldn't possibly raise taxes on the extremely rich".

traffic lights are out at the Tasman St intersection by the Countdown

Interesting that Paul Goldsmith is only coherent and confident when he’s being a racist cunt.

Life jacket worn by Titanic survivor auctioned off for $1.5m The flotation device was worn by Laura Mabel Francatelli, a first-class passenger on the doomed ocean liner.

Someone can't read numbers

"A life jacket worn by a passenger on RMS Titanic as she escaped the sinking steamship on a lifeboat sold at auction on Sunday for 67,000 pounds (NZ$154,000)."

Motherfucker finally cracked open his Dan Brown DVD boxset

Yeah this isn’t a war.
It’s Trump fucking with the market to set up his cronies to extract as much as possible.

While we pay the price.

At the pump.
For groceries.
For everything.

Shouldn’t be 50% of the cost of a weekly grocery shop though imho.
It’s pizza.

It's 2 large (which are the US equivalent of regular), 6 chicken strips and about 7 small onion rings.

Yeah. A pub meal for two shouldn’t be over half a weekly grocery shop.

Eating out is worse still. Could do a pub meal for two with a drink & dessert for under $100. Now it's over $120 & you're still hitting up McDs drive-thru on the way home.

Not saying it's an immigration investment problem, but the one remaining local owned pub has a two hour wait for a table...

I’m definitely looking forward to my seven (eight if they’re feeling generous) onion rings.

Given the quality last time I had it, it barely qualifies as a treat to be honest.
Paid half that for Pizza Hut.
If I’m having shit pizza, I’ll pay shit pizza prices.

Not sure about best, but I did enjoy Michael Keaton.
Fondest memories would definitely be Adam West.

Which reminds me I still have a Bluray boxset of the original series to actually remove the shrink-wrap from.

I know there’s been inflation over the past couple of years, but due to laziness I just went to do my last ordered hell pizza order.
$95 plus delivery?

Fuck.
Right.
Off.

The older I get, the more I understand why our parents were so nostalgic for their childhood years.

Anyone else seething at how badly the Greens are polling?

Corporate wankspeak should never be a nations political roadmap
