How did we not know before today that a group of kea is called a circus? Because of course it is! Anyway, Bruce is now The Boss.

NZ Govt has taken a huge bet on fossil fuels. NZ was already spending $8 billion a year importing fossil fuels, and now the global fuel crisis is going to make that worse. Betting on fossil fuels has turned out to be a losing bet for NZ. This is the 14 point policy record of 2 years of the NZ Govt:

The 'This is fine' comic of the dog sitting in a room on fire but now it is also filled with rising flood waters

77mm in one hour in Berhampore. That’s just an incomprehensible rain intensity anywhere at any time, let alone in Wellington in Autumn. We used to use 7mm an hour as a threshold for “heavy rain”, and this was more than 10 times that.

We used to know the village idiot and warn people about him. Now they are all in one place hitting idiot critical mass

Damn floods have messed up my life in Welly looks like I am headed back to Auckland for a bit 😭

Last week, its UK rival Shell said it anticipated “significantly higher” oil trading profits for the quarter. Analysts have been upgrading their profit forecasts, with the US bank Citi raising its estimate for BP by 20% to $2.6bn adjusted net income in the January to March quarter - despite flat oil and gas production.

We shovel $10bn per year into the pockets of offshore companies to buy fuel - and that was before prices went nuts. You could easily employ every unemployed young person in NZ for $10bn - and buy thousands of solar panels.

Alice, Alice, who tf is Alice?

I think regulating what poor people are allowed to eat is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of.

Insanity and delusion spread by social media and the right wing propaganda machine. The endless bullshit and racism and lies from NZ Herald and ZB is just normality for these dimwits

Climate - disaster
Energy - disaster
Ferries - disaster

Voters - ooh lets vote for NZ First!

wtf

It’s what happens when a deeply unjust system allows the rich to commit mass murder for profit. Some people value justice

I almost got murdered at the top of Khyber Pass (Auck) by someone who decided to accelerate thru the red at 80km/h, just as I was stepping onto the road

Why is Paddy Gower in jail 🤣

Someone on here was complaining about RealMe, can’t find the post, but here’s a song from the Netherworld Dancing Toys

This is how the Nats “help” the economy - by taking money off individuals and giving massive tax breaks to the super rich

The "blue hour" takes place when the sun is far enough below the horizon that the sun's blue wavelenghts dominate, at dawn or dusk. The blue hour lasts longer near the poles as the sun rises and sets at a shallower angle than at the equator.

Dusk blue hour, Milford Sound, New Zealand.

There are a few candidates vying for the title. The relevant chapters from 1 John and 2 Thessalonians talk a lot about him being a massive liar with a crazy ego and doing the opposite of “love thy neighbour”

“Woke” is a handy word but it is overused. I wonder what the word is for being a reality-challenged redneck crackpot

I dern’t believe in that newfangled electrickery

Orban’s defeat shows that when we stand together against the politics of hate and division, hope wins and the far right friends of Farage can be defeated.

You don't get the nickname Dumbcunt Garner without years of leg work, putting in the stupidest hot takes after stupid hot takes

Me trying to figure out most @ replies.

A judge who cares about justice isn't a "breach of comity" it is exactly what this country needs more of.

a screenshot of a 'The post te upoko o te ika' article by Edward miller called "we've been dangerously exposed by the failure to build public diesel reserve" a cut-out of Shane Jones face (NZ First politician) is on top, wearing a dunce cap with NZ First printed on it. It suits him!

Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones (NZ First) has been very vocal about who's to blame for our precarious fuel security situation. Did you know that he, in 2024, was the one to scrap plans for the public diesel reserve?
