Any special talents:

Writing to MPs asking that they support Unlawful Occupation of Palestine Sanctions Bill, proposed by Green Party Co-Leader Chlöe Swarbrick @nzgreensglobal.bsky.social #NZpol only 6 more mps needed.

#Fossilfriday An extinct sand dollar, Scutellaster oregonensis, freshly washed out of the middle Pleistocene part of the Merced Formation (~0.7 Ma) south of San Francisco, found near Ocean Beach.

58% increase in Auckland homelessness. 40% increase in Wellington. Christchurch emergency housing applicants nearly all turned away as govt "saves" $250 million a year in emergency housing, while throwing ~$2bn a year on PPP prisons. Is this us, New Zealand? Because it feels like it. #nzpol #kiwi

Me again, sorry to ask 😞, but every cent makes a huge difference for me. 💗🫶🏼 #Kikorangi

Researchers recently caught Meta using tactics that one expert called similar to those of digital crooks to secretly compile logs of people’s web browsing on Android devices. Here are a few ways to safeguard your digital privacy:

There's many many MPs in our Parliament who need this attitude. #nzpol

h/t ACA's account on the expired bluebird site for the image. This is what can be printed and handed out from the google linked pdf. It's has 10 of these on an A4 in business card size.

Here’s the basis for why all hell would have broken loose on the ninth floor of the Beehive on Tuesday.

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

I was cool enough to be granted early access to watch the Sally film, and wow. Powerful, emotional, spectacular. Highly recommend checking it out when it officially releases on June 16th!

Seriously. We got 💩if we didn’t leave the house by a certain time. It was just assumed that we were roaming around the neighborhood w/our friends & as long as we were home for dinner w/no visible injuries & no complaints from the neighbors, no questions were asked

Perspective. Many not in the least convinced about spraying vast sums of money at defence, when climate change our existential threat. And so also why subsidise greedy climate vandals, hellbent on deforming our democracy? Let’s get our priorities right!

Genuinely lost count how many tornadoes were produced by this supercell thunderstorm that trundled ESE'wards from near Dora NM to Lubbock TX on Thursday afternoon/evening 🌪️

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

Hi, I'm the one responsible for coding Bluesky's Discover tab, I was under a lotta pressure and at the same time I was under contract to prototype a dating app for the terminally humourless, some wires got crossed and I might've accidentally delivered the wrong code to the wrong client.

So I started catching up with Alone Australia, and whoa Western Tasmania is beautiful 🌿🌈

Shamelessly resharing my latest @forbes.com article because I'd love to get some eyes on it. If you live in a city and/or are interested in nature, you might enjoy it 😊🧪👩‍🔬 www.forbes.com/sites/laurie...

A learning disability is not a terminal illness so why is an MP citing this as a reason. The Assisted Dying Bill only applies to terminal illness. Staggering the journalist didn't challenge the MP on this, but then this the level of BBC journalism we have now. #r4today

Folks what's the way to make a nice poached egg on an induction cooktop? I'm sceptical about this whole "whirlpool" method, it's too hard!

So I've had 3 weeks of gas hot water, and I really hate it. Can't have *just a little* hot water, for eg. to wash hands or face. I don't care about "unlimited" hot showers cos I'm on a budget. Stupid thing to have in a rental IMO.

WHY can’t @healthnz.govt.nz tell people to mask up, ventilate indoor spaces, test and stay home if symptomatic?? Yes, by all means push for increased vaccination, but for crying out loud ppl DO NEED to be told how and why to prevent transmission.

"Poverty is a political choice and this government has chosen to leave thousands of low-income families considerably worse off. The changes to the accommodation supplement are unjustified, particularly in a cost of living crisis. #nzpol

The Regulatory Standards Bill submission process, as explained by David Seymour. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #RegulatoryStandardsBill

You'd think with what's happening in the PM's office, and now Seymour is Deputy, that there should be some serious consideration among media that they pick this story back up.

Ah cool, there's a reason why Britain shouldn't be followed at all - but a Human Rights Commissioner going "tough shit, get used to losing rights" is definitely in the top 1 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

National is in a coalition with a party that is courting the anti-vaxx conspiracy vote, and with a party that wants to slash, burn and blow up what it considers "waste" in the government. But do tell me how TPM's recent behaviour is a problem for Labour. #nzpol

Strap in e te whānau. Even IF we vote them out. We're stuck with this mess for a few years after I suspect. Pretty much every statistic will get worse, mental health, health system, houses, respiratory diseases, suicides, jobs, cost of kai. We need to support each other as much as possible.

Yes, God forbid a MAGPIE stand OUTSIDE in the street and try to LIVE ITS LIFE
