An elbowless Femboy! Incredible stuff
Mad props to Formby for removing all the hard water stains on my shower cubicle with water and elbow grease. Well, he doesn't have elbows but you get the idea
Why is he like this
My mum is 80 next month and she's tossing up whether it would be worth getting a car at all given that she has to redo her licence soon (and regularly afterwards). Also I live next door so there's usually a vehicle available to her anyway
Yeah they suck but I like how Luxon is left holding the bag here
My mother's car is being written off. She only uses it to go to the local shops/doctor etc, and instead of what I would be thinking: "yay, I can buy a cheap secondhand Leaf with decent battery and never buy petrol again", she is extremely freaked out about "learning a new car"
I think it depends on who likes their chances. Who is the most big-headed of his underlings?
It isn't even happening! newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/02/a...
Oh wow this is incredibly damning of Luxon, Amazon and the entire situation. Would that every analysis of their "announcements" was as clear-eyed #nzpol
Is he talking at the moment? What did I miss?
Stupid horse is still in the hospital
The reason I worry about billionaires on drugs is that they’re not systematically regulated, they have all the power, and they’ve voluntarily removed every single mental barrier that stops them being full blown sociopaths at every moment by taking drugs to eradicate inhibitions. Terrifying shit
One of mine is constantly making hot chocolates and porridge with milk and it's like... ok dude. On the other hand I save by him only eating one leaf out of every salad, heh
My budget is SUPPOSED to be $300 a week but ehhhhhh that's very difficult. I might have to up it (with all my extra cash, you understand)
I often get a Farmers Box which is cheaper but it can take a couple of days to arrive and that buggers up my meal plan this week. Oh well
Two vegetarian meals, one meal that lasts two days (gumbo), meat cuts only mince and bone-in chicken, buying store brands whenever possible. I am trying folks but it's hard out here for a pimp* *weekly food shopper
Nine days of dinners for four people, basics like bread/spread/cheese/muesli/milk, some shampoo and toilet paper etc: $380 *sobs*
There's stir-fry stuff of course but I find the frozen veges pretty hit or miss there (and also Teddy will die a thousand deaths rather than ingest them, so)
The problem for Brent and me is that we LOVE salad. If I want to eat vegetables it is 75% salad-based shit. Plus our Mexican food obsession has so much raw vege filling involved. I should start thinking harder about cooked vegetable sides. But then that's another thing to DO. Meh
I like a cos! Also a baby cos is so fuckin cute. Aw little guy
I agree wholeheartedly but it very much depends on the recipe. It's a bit sad to have a defrosted frozen veg sitting there in your salad sometimes
And yet they still exist! It's poor form
Iceberg is worth it because it actually lasts for ages, whereas you can buy a bag of mesclun with one bad leaf in it and POOF, fuck you, the next day that's the end of your salad
Me trying to get a fresh food into my children = getting reamed by the duopoly I'm already buying frozen capsicum instead of fresh. Frozen pumpkin instead of fresh (how is FROZEN PUMPKIN CHEAPER IN WINTER THAN FRESH). WHAT DO THESE PEOPLE WANT FROM ME
Yeah the tinned ones are good in a lot of recipes but this one really needs fresh
I am going to buy two non-cherry tomatoes and slice them into the approximate size of a cherry tomato and everyone who wrote this recipe will have to live with it
Hey Luxon would you like 1.2 kilos of cherry tomatoes? Because that is your ENTIRE FOOD BUDGET supposedly #nzpol
I am not paying ten dollars for a punnet of cherry tomatoes. I am just not doing it. You can go to hell
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
And before one of my pets eats him and gets poisoned themselves, hopefully! Christ
I must tip my hat to @zaichishka.bsky.social who came up with it!
Oh I make no judgement on the thing itself, it's probably a bad idea or whatever, I'm just laughing at RNZ calling out Luxo's bullshit
I want it to KILL the rat, not POLISH the rat
Formby the robot window cleaner is very tough. It has fallen off a few tall windows (my own fault, it loses suction if you try to make it go over really chunky things like giant cobwebs full of bugs) but just keeps on trucking afterwards
Look at 37% of Act supporters thinking their party could govern the whole country. Oh OK sure why don't we ask some seasteading Randian with a B Com to be Prime Minister too. "Mine will be the first government to have a referendum on whether I should ever have to do the dishes"
nooooooo
ARGHHHH it's right under the dishwasher too Well. We shall see
Snacking carrot pickle chips! I did not even know such a thing existed!
Living the pickle dream!!
Yeah they smell fucking terrible but I prefer corpses to live ones even so
It is living behind the baseboards and getting out into the kitchen via a teeny gap under the dishwasher. I guess I just have to keep throwing poison through the holes and hope it dies
Me too it suuuuucks
You shouldn't have a tail longer than your body unless you use it as a prehensile one. Otherwise it's just creepy you little rodent fucker
It doesn't look like it could teach me much tbh. Except how to squeeze through incredibly small gaps
This asshole is taunting me (also that corner of the floor really needs a good bottoming)
Saw the fucking kitchen rat. Still not dead. Still ignored by all my apex predator pets
But the headline!
No! Actual FB screenshot from my own fair hands
Am I a taxi? Mostly yes. But sometimes I am also a human and you will have to be mildly inconvenienced
Told Son One that he could go with his father to school in the morning as usual even though his exam is at 1pm, because I have to work and can't spend all day driving him back and forth. Much huffing. Much puffing. How could I etc etc
Thumb with ears!
Headline writer's "this dipshit" may be inferred
It's probably going to suck in various ways but the point is that RNZ is calling him out for re-announcing something from four years ago
The Herald isn't going to follow suit. But they should
The headline is making that exact point which is why I am laughing
"Ah, but you see Danielle Woolworths has to make money for its investors so it can't compete with a state owned supermarket which doesn't" Seems like a skill issue 💅
What I don't get is: if the free marketeers are so keen on the extra efficiencies of the market being better than anything a government could do, why are they so scared to go up against government-owned goods and services? Have one nationalised supermarket and Woolworths can, y'know, COMPETE with it
Ahahahahahaha nice one y'all #nzpol
For FUCKS sake. Come on The Media. Do better.
When Nate Silver continues his obsessions with the website
I will allow Bill to watch one (1) season of Gogglebox, where he can vicariously experience British people of multiple races and ethnicities taking part in their shared TV culture (and wonder why all of them are so obsessed with Strictly Come Dancing)
Oh noooooo this is Naomi Wolf levels of embarrassing for ol' Yarv
happy labor day
Also you know I am talking about New Zealand, right?
Has Bill ever left his state, is what I want to know
American in the menchies very mad that I think New Zealand should NATIONALISE A SUPERMARKET because communism
Are you ok?
I know what happened. I am telling you via my question marks that I think the comparison is deranged
I saw Bill being a racist ass last night but this morning Bill has gone beyond thunderdome
Existential dread: it's not just for insomniacs anymore
This is "the one big trick" that the right has mastered. They present their movement as just "the authentic voice of the volk outraged by Democratic overreach," when really what they're doing is just old fashioned political mobilization. Organize a passle of pissed off people & call it a movement.
i just don't think it's at all mysterious why the website that's massively dominated by the exact kind of people that Trump 2.0 is actively persecuting might have more depressing vibes in 2025 than it did in 2024
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
Someone please kill me right now.
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
Why not at this point
it is underdiscussed how "learning loss" can also be attributed to the fact that millions of people were dying and the kids were fucking terrified all the time - not just that they were on Zoom
Blueskyism is just "Twitter before the Nazis took over", Nate
I am talking about New Zealand
???
?
the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands
In about 2010 no one used Twitter either 🤷♀️
Wordsworth called Byron ‘coarse’ and ‘epigrammatic’, ‘a panderer to the basest artistic urges’ and secretly insane. Byron referred to Wordsworth simply as ‘Turdsworth’.

Elon Musk is a radicalised extremist openly championing the most racist faction who would deport the Foreign Secretary, the Leader of the Opposition, the Justice Secretary and the last Prime Minister The govt silence about such a level of extremism is craven: infinite tolerance of racial hatred
This is part of the 'anything is American food if you can buy it in America, but it's only British if it has bad teeth and the Tudors ate it' bullshit that permeates bsky
Ohhhhhh look at this, they like to tell us we're an isolated whites-only culture too, it was a big thing during the Covid response period bsky.app/profile/bill...
Good lord
Minister for Homelessness, Chris Bishop, said he didn’t want kids growing up in emergency housing in motels. So he dramatically cut emergency housing grant approvals, pushed the families out into the streets. And now they are growing up on the street.
They're laser focused on bringing inflation down
Facebook comments hate it
My mum and I took her car to the panelbeaters and as we were waiting we sat on an extremely snug loveseat (as you know I am not a small-butted gal) "This is a bit close isn't it?" I said "Good thing we're related already," she said, "because if we weren't we might have to get married"
Continuing with Bleak House. "He was short, cadaverous and withered" says Dickens of a character. Girl, same
All the long-stay animals at the NZ SPCA are adoption by koha for two weeks from September 6. I am just saying. If you're in the market you are gonna get a bargain I am personally quite enamoured by Tui www.spca.nz/adopt/animal...
Oh man we should have an argument on the ideal length for a song. I say there should be VERY few songs that are over 3 mins 30 seconds and they definitely have to have a reason for it. Get in, kick ass, get out unless you are something like Station to Station which I will allow to be very long
I'm glad everyone enjoyed hey-nonny-nonnying as a descriptor because I think I started using it... lawd, 30 years ago on the Elvis Costello discussion list, costello-l? Is this correct @jeanlass.bsky.social?
AAAAARRRGGGHHHH
