No. Absolutely not. You do not refer to targeted mob violence by an organised hate group as "antics". @thepress.co.nz do better, our community needs you to do better

Seymour is "talking a whole lot of hot air... We’re not talking about a whole new area, a whole new kitchen, it’s a matter of understanding production. They could have had certification for free... Are we supposed to watch the others eat and remain silent?" - FIANZ www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future and Tim Winton’s Juice both make a good case for some kind of elite strike team whose job it is to kill oligarchs. And I am down with this.

On day 1 of the new administration an anti-antisemitism org asks us to give the richest man on the planet and president-whisperer some grace for doing a Nazi salute. Twice. The writing is so unsubtle this season

Absolutely ridiculous. The entire election campaign they were all about how their special doctor man was the best possible person for Health. No one could be better than their doctor. This is a massive admission of failure, isn't it?

Rumours that Simeon didn’t have a driving license, have now been replaced by rumours that Simeon doesn’t have a heart. #nzpol

Every newsroom in New Zealand should have her photo on the whiteboard with bold text saying "do not report things this woman says"

Worth reading the thread in full. Under Facebook's new more-fact-free policy it is only going to get worse . #nzpol

Fun fact, The 225m long IREX ferries Willis cancelled were exactly designed to take the swells in the Strait that cancelled the sailings with the obsolete boats today

Super wealthy support far right for personal reasons (deregulation, less Gov interventions, lower taxes…), & stirring xenophobia divides the working classes in times of growing resentment at huge inequalities. “Greed, billionaires aren’t the problem, muslims are”. Oh, psychopathy & white supremacy.

Just read @davidfarrier.bsky.social’s piece on piece-of-shit Nick Mowbray shilling for even-bigger-piece-of-shit Tommy Robinson. Absolutely unbelievable. I really wish we could run that guy out of town with flaming pitchforks.

E-Z Squirt Ketchup (2000-2006): Riding the 2000s wave of "foods colors that don't exist in nature", Heinz gave us ketchup in Blastin’ Green, Funky Purple, Stellar Blue, Passion Pink, Awesome Orange, and Totally Teal. Production began to wind down in 2003,and vanished in '06.

This summer has so far meant two hospital stints for my elderly dad, as well as needing a new tyre, a new car windscreen and a new battery. It has been a fucking *grind* so far.

Gen X Aucklanders - do you remember there being an “I. Itchianus” in the Auckland phonebook in the late 80s / early 90s? Or am I imagining this?

As the year comes to a close, we remember some of those once precious to us that we lost in 2024. #RestInPeace

Same with a lot of NZ conservatives who looooove this stuff in Europe but still want Aotearoa cities to be car-centric, where PT is just for the poors.

Tonight I am getting pizza because I am a bit over repurposing Christmas ham and lamb.

I don't really buy the talk about Chris Luxon being rolled or stepping down but I have to admit posting a pic of yourself doing a 9/11 into the Beehive doesn't scream "I love this job"

This is bullshit and the police should be ashamed of themselves. "Gang insignia" has an actual meaning in law, and I think it seems very unlikely this logo meets that definition.
