FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?
Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests
FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?
Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face
Ninety minute wait at Kenepuru Hospital on Tuesday too
I guess Luxon is entitled to the entitlements eh?
Ask your employer tomorrow why they operate an official account on the Twitter/X web service that built a child sexual assault materials generation machine & why they tacitly approve of pedophilia. Have your fellow employees ask the same question.
Jen Sorensen nails the hypocrisy and racism of the "European culture" argument.
You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

what 'brand' you wonder? oh, just the NZ National Party
We are now past the point where corporate media commentary and embedded advertising are justifiable. This is going to get MUCH worse over 2026 unless there are consequences
Oof
Also waiting for the commentariat (alongside ancillary economists) to tell us what this all means for Auckland house prices.😢

always knew the burrito taxi industry was scummy but this is the most unfathomably evil, cartoon villain shit I’ve read in a while. jfc
Under my inevitable benevolent dictatorship people who play music out loud on public transportation will be amongst the first to go to the glorious reeducation camps.
That’s why HAVN designed the EMF-blocking beanie. Powered by our proprietary WaveStopper™ Technology, it forms a barrier that blocks over 99% of WiFi, 5G, and Bluetooth radiation right where it matters most: your brain.

In 2026, I want one thing – a kidney donated from a living donor for my partner. I've lost sleep over whether I should post this – it's a massive ask. Sometimes I wonder if it's asking too much? But the reality is that I'm unable to donate my kidney, and he has zero family who are in the position
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Great article in The Press today.
“…cycling is no longer just a weekend hobby. It has become a small but serious part of the South Island economy – from tourism operators and motels to bike shops, and city transport budgets.”
Interesting to note the % increase in e-bikes local bike shops are
For the price of less than ONE of National's Roads of National Party Significance you could expand the cycle network right across the motu, returning benefits easily 10x (so $12.8b) of what we have now (which is already formidable at $1.28b).

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Thanks, and a request National is doing one great job for all New Zealanders and I would like to say a big thank you. I travel a lot from my home at Foxton Beach to and from Wel-lington. I can't understand why the speed limit is not 110kph all the way from Otaki until you hit the end of Transmission Gully at Porirua. It's a stop start in parts from 100 to 110 and in my mind the whole lot should be 120kph. I cruise along at 110 and I am passed by most vehicles. All I ask of you is to make the speed from Otaki to Porirua 110kph. Thanking you Chris - enjoy your Christmas break, return in 2026 refreshed and wipe that smile off Chris Hipkins face.

Last Thursday, there were 200 coats. Scarves too. Gloves. We call it "Earl's Fence" now. There's one in Detroit. One in Manchester. One in Vancouver.
I never met the man who saved me from freezing. But I'm becoming him, one coat at a time.
Because the best kind of help doesn't ask for credit.
I love the future
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

As an Aucklander who's visited Wellington a bunch, traveling from airport to city every time, obviously...
The traffic just isn't that bad! Like it's a little annoying sometimes, but honestly it's a short drive that doesn't take that long even when it's congested.
50% is a pass yeah? Yeah??
Roads are "infrastructure" that you "invest" in because they generate a return in [getting to work faster], which makes them better than free [ignore what the BCR say].
Health/education are "spending" that you "waste" money on because they [who knows what they do].
When an entire economy is based upon low value milk products, retail and selling houses to each other in an ever increasing prices, it brings low productivity.
Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.
