My personal "favourite" flavour is OP NEVER SAID THEY WEREN'T IN AMERICA?

Why would she waste characters in her own post declaring where she isn't?

A few weeks ago I gently asked Americans to stop assuming every political post is about whatever is going on on their country and BOY some people got offended.

This thread is a perfect example. OTHER ELECTORAL SYSTEMS EXIST. NOT EVERYONE HAS A TWO PARTY SYSTEM.

Break up supermarket duopoly and guarantee liveable incomes We are building a future where we do more, faster, to protect our planet and make sure everyone is treated equally.

"It is, on the surface, the boldest thing any political party has said about the grocery market in years."

A certain commentator on the NZ First announcement.

There's just one problem: the Greens announced a policy to break up the supermarket duopoly 4 years ago.

mark just found me on the floor where i was having what i would charitably call a micronap after playing with my dog

the wall needs to back off, i can't hit it yet.

*trying to describe Chris Luxon to an American*

Ok so imagine a goneburger

Chris, you shall be visited by three spirits. The first spirit is the ghost of caucus past.

I'm sorry W H A T? Holy shit.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It's still perfect.

I don't want to "adapt" to terrifying weather Devastating climate change is here, thanks to oil companies and politicians. What are we going to do about it?

This piece from @emilywrites.co.nz is really worth reading, on the human impact of this weather and exactly how much this government has not just refused to act, but instead consistently acted against the interests of us all. www.emilywrites.co.nz/i-dont-want-...

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

Shout out to @sassypolitico.bsky.social for managing to attract what seems like all the most annoying people on the internet to one thread for the rest of us to all mute/block. Your sacrifice has not gone unappreciated 🫡🫠

Now,... would those be the school boilers that the previous govt had budgeted to phase out but incoming Finance Minister Nicola 'No Boats' Willis stopped and redirected the money to give tax cuts to landlords?

Just asking questions. 😏

Planes fly faster than me, too. What's your fuckin point?

A small, fresh bunch of tulips in my Van Gogh Cherry Blossom vase sits on my desk. There is also a small photo of Zen, my pen cup (Ilya Rozanov saying "good job, I love you") a pile of notebooks, and a screenprint on the wall which says BOOKS NOT BOMBS over the page of a dictionary.

This is just to say I married The One For Me. This was not a hint! It's not tulpen season here! He did a miracle! 😭

Also Peri Zee is a fantastic communicator but I only follow her because my parents aren't ON facebook and all of the UHCC seem to go facebook first. SIGH.

Just saw my first "whatever happened to global warming" on a thread about the weather emergency back home. Gonna give myself a migraine from this eye rolling,

everything is going to hell but there are persimmons at the supermarket so i'm about to be positively gluttonous about it.

Massey Uni will also be closed tomorrow.
Time to stay home and off the roads.

i miss when cheap ass supermarket flowers were actually cheap and actually beautiful

My work spread out on a dining table with two huge bunches of tulips.

eight years ago (!) i was in exactly the same place in this reporting cycle only difference was I was in Amsterdam so I had tulips everywhere. I feel like tulips would fix me.

This game changed too much in 30 secs. Come onnnnn.

James Cameron is also a billionaire. I don't know the technical definition of a bunker but I am pretty sure he lives above the ground.

Headline from Bolton News: Disgust after huge stash of vacuums found fly-tipped near beauty spot The photo underneath them shows a gigantic pile of vacuum cleaners ditched in a hillside. Either that or it's a field and the photographer couldn't keep the camera straight.

proof that nature truly abhors them

It was try to function in front of a laptop for as long as possible while the caffeine and sedatives fought each other and the collapse by midday 😭

omg a couple of weeks ago I took my night time meds at 8am.

Pray for me as I head into the next week with absolutely more than a week's work to do and a hard deadline. It's a crisis of my own making (kinda, I was hella sick for like, 5 weeks), but we'll get there. We always get there.

I hate Labour lmao. I am Green Party member, but still wish we'd go further left. I would FAR rather we sit on the cross benches than enter deals with any devils, but get the feeling there's too much ministerial ambition at play.
