To Jan 20th 2026 there have been 1779 paid ACC claims for vaccine injury from 14 million doses. We know this already. side effects are no surprise, but they are rare. e.g. there were 73 vax site infections. But knowing facts does not publicise "angry bloke in pub's reckons" for ACT & NZF
Ah, being kind to yourself is the most important thing then, housework and cooking and stuff doesn’t need to take up room under that rock
Sometimes it’s when the house is too hot after work, or just when it’s too much thinking and steps for a tired brain
I just got a pie from the Four Square and threw it in the oven for this reason

Gonna start cruising the streets looking for slightly bashed cardboard boxes on the verges with wiggly fReE written on in ballpoint #feijoatime
Maybe Helly will advance to riding it like cats ride indoor vacs?
That’s is such a relaxing view btw
It’s balmy and warmish here so is working against my lying around in bed damnation
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
The rolling of PMs when parties are doing poorly is yeah, ok. The warning is that the media will salivate over the rolling, not dissect the policy that lead to the bad polling and pivot to any new leader with breathless ‘new energy’, ‘turning the tide’ without addressing the policy issues.

IT IS NOT THE JOB OF A PUBLIC BROADCASTER IN A DEMOCRACY TO REPORT THE NEWS IN A WAY THE GOVERNMENT LIKES. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOT OKAY FOR MINISTERS AND POLITICALLY-APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS TO DICATE INDIVIDUAL EDITORIAL DECISIONS. THIS SHOULD BE FUCKING OBVIOUS.
Yeah, still contagious unfortunately. It helps that he’s not coughing/sneezing etc, but can still pass it on.
Yeah, I’ve had that too. Human relationships are complicated and I’ve accepted that I don’t necessarily feel one way or another in situations that once I thought I would
And the gall of them when there are almost daily delays, cancellations, bus replacements on some lines - I’ve stopped buying a monthly pass because I can’t remember the last time I could get full value from it
We need to walk away. End of. There’s no bullshit ‘reclaiming the space’ ‘not letting them win‘.
It’s a tool being used to attack, not some gormless town square that women and people of colour and queer people just need to shout a bit louder in.
That Gen X urge to never be torn apart
We did a bit of an extra clip down also- good luck to us all!
I’m eyeing the tomatoes on their trellis on the deck and have a sinking feeling they will be horizontal by morning
I swear to god in 2060 I’ll be lying on my death mat in some post apocalyptic washed out shit show and these plonkers will still be trying to blame the 2020 Labour govt and Covid spending
Bit late to it but if you want to know the chain of events that led to us importing gas (and charging electricity users to pay for it!!), I did this deep dive for RNZ last year www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
That bounce smash against the windscreen is really satisfying but the direct hit through the open window is chefs kiss

Took one look at Stuff’s reporting on Waitangi and closed the app. Bloody hell. Until we get a media that isn’t immature and partisan we are not going to see any adult conversations about politics or the massive challenges facing this country

Omg!
Still Snapper as far as I know.
Thank you for cat tax.
I spent a few seasons as a student pruning, packing and grading and living in on the floor of the pack house - didn’t know the origin but I can spot sooty mould at a hundred paces
Isabel Fraser wouldn’t get past border patrol these days with a bunch of seeds in her carry on
I’m seeing Aucklanders complain about the humidity and I stuck the heater on today wtf
I did not know that! I remember my older family members calling it Chinese gooseberry when I was a kid
