You wake up in 1989 Unreal Engine 5.5 New Zealand 3D Modelling #TheWarAtHomeSeries 😍😍😍😍 youtu.be/emWTiQfdUyk?...

When your lunch is a work of art... 😍😍😍😍 ありがとうございます Arigato gozaimasu as always, Tu Meke Don! ❤️

It's always fascinating which stories the other media outlets decide not to pick up. This is a 1News story, totally ignored so far by NZME and Stuff. Even though it relates to his previous controversies, and you have the whole "lying" angle they normally love to justify as to why it's news.

It would be nice if journalists like RNZ's Lillian Hanly pointed out that the so-called "NZ Initiative" was an arm of the global liberterian/rightwing Atlas Network. NZ Initiative are not an impartial think-tank. Do better, @rnz.co.nz.web.brid.gy . www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I mean, look, Just because its never worked anywhere else in history does not mean it wont work here..

The Tūī feeder has been very busy today. Several refills required

Simple Simeon is a Psycho. Govt removing 4 wellbeing provisions (adding social, economic, environmental & cultural well-being of communities to the statutory purpose of local government) from LGA saying councils were using them to justify spending on "nice-to-haves"?? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

NZ Govt plans to strip references to ‘four well-beings’ from Local Government Act 2002, limiting purposes to fixing pipes, filling potholes, and delivering core local services. Take out social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of communities. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Is Stuff becoming a parody account in their level of "gosh-wow!" attention-seeking? Facts: - Landing at Wellington Airport can make you question your life choices. - Auckland's Skytower is tall and metallic, so is more likely to be struck by lightning. - Wellington is Windy

Zuck’s “three friends” thing jumped this directly into my brain

New Zealand is being run into the ground by absolute bad faith fools. This MUST stop!

FYI Team Zuru

The capitalist cultists at NZ Initiative would be 'absolutely delighted' if Seymour announced indentured servitude camps for all beneficiaries and low income earners. Do some surface scratching, instead of just xeroxing press releases, RNZ! www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

How the fuck hasn't this been a thing on all new builds in NZ since ages ago? With plentiful sunshine hours in places like Hawke's Bay and Nelson it's an absolute no-brainer! Solar panels on all new UK homes by 2027 under new Labour plan www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

UK is now beating NZ on renewable grid power, already has a fossil car ban and is making sure every new house has its own solar If you think NZ is falling behind its because NZ is falling behind #nzpol

These awful "culture wars" are designed to divide us so we don't notice... In the video Riana Te Ngahue mentions a @rbreich.bsky.social book & he's also worth a follow but #nzpol you've gotta follow @mountaintui.bsky.social and support if you can. Their articles are great!

Wellington, we have more weather updates for you. We will be experiencing road closures at the following locations for clean up operations: Fulton Hogan will focus on arterial roads first, Owhiro Bay Parade and The Esplanade, then Moa Point / Breaker Bay.

Scam or Sam? “Weird Al” Yankovic joins me for a new Choice Words and we discuss our unique meet-cute, which really came about due to someone else's scheming. Listen wherever you get your pods or watch on YouTube!

In 2014, then as Finance Minister, Bill English was quoted on a visit to our region saying: “Hawke's Bay's seasonal low-wage economy"... "isn’t going to change in a hurry, so let’s get good at it.” I certainly won't waste my time or money on someone who so pathetically patronizes my region.

Don’t You Forget About Hawke’s Bay napierinframe.co.nz/dont-you-for...

DRY TOAST #FTW!!

Sorry to my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ gifter if that was what you were going to get/make me!

As you know, I LOVE The Muppets. But all these AI "Muppet" & "action figure" pics on social media recently can get in the fucking sea. Talented people created the originals & now tech bro assholes are ripping everything off. Breaks my heart & spirit. www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-...

Are people getting it yet? A GOVT that only chases poor crime while making rich crime easier, A GOVT that KNOWS its system already punishes minorities unjustly and disproportionately but focuses of punishing them MORE anyway because it makes them look productive. That's the legacy of Luxon.

Winter is tough says National MP whose Government cut: The Minimum Wage Food grant access from MSD Funding to foodbanks Social programmes Disability support Benefits Jobs And whose policies raised: Prescription fees Public transport fares Rates GP fees Rents/Homelessness But here’s a blanket

"COME BACK HERE, YOU FEATHERED LITTLE £*<&€R, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY CONTENTS PAGE!!!"

Considering what the National Party is doing to the poor and homeless, I believe the National Party would call what the National Party's Nicky Webb is doing "virtue signaling."

That her own party are chucking out on the streets...

I'm starting to wonder if Napier & Hastings drivers DESERVE a four laned Expressway. They can't seem to go a matter of days without a crash on the current TWO lanes - imagine the carnage DOUBLE the lanes would cause!

An anti-vax conspiracy theory is/was NZ has been mismeasuring its living population, so estimated death rates were too low. Stats NZ has finished the retrospective 2018-2023 population estimates in light of the 2023 census, and it will surprise no-one here NZ still had below expected death rates

"Don't let the doorknob hit ya, etc ..."

I find it curious how co-governance with Maori is supposedly bad, but co-governance with corporations is supposedly good. Maybe these people don't actually know anything about Maori governance or how corporations are influencing governance. #nzpol
