This actually feels really reassuring I get the appeal

Any time you can crash the global economy to replace a bad guy with a worse guy you gotta do it

Labour had six long years to fix Christopher Luxon's polling

man this is so true

It's actually very cool to have so many sewage overflows you can get them confused, Wellington should keep up

shut it

The government has been dealing with complaints from homeowners in Parnell about its unreasonable plans to upzone their area just because it’s within walking distance of Auckland’s city centre and connected to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public infrastructure. At the urging of his boss, housing minister Chris Bishop has tied himself in knots trying to accommodate the whiners while still allowing houses near the train line we just spent $5.5bn on. A move-on order for the villa owners in Parnell, along with similarly well-appointed suburbs such as Ponsonby, would clear out some much-needed space and stem the tide of public meetings. Thankfully there’s a mid-sized city crying out for growth in the Manawatū-Whanganui region of the North Island.

feel I may have undermined today's column by putting in something I actually agree with thespinoff.co.nz/politics/25-...

Govt gives police move on powers

Me the government
🤝
Addressing issues by refusing to look at them

Speaking from experience, she has a far higher hill to climb

Yeah sorry that was also me

I think the point of the passage is you could become super saiyan by channeling his power, maybe learn some theology

Comment 1: Appalled at the title and won't be reading the article. Very disappointed in the Spinoff this morning. Comment 2: Happy at the title and will be re-reading the article. Very proud of the Spinoff this morning

my iconoclastic style is dividing The Spinoff's readership

Spinoff headline: Good news: It’s kākāpō fuck season

breaking new frontiers when it comes to headline writing at The Spinoff

didn't need so many words imo

you absolute idiot

Yeah so what im picturing is essentially a funnel or hose scenario where you've got the input and output going simultaneously

Yeah but given this person has to shit for years on end I think it would be ill-advised to take the time to wipe

Getting mixed reports on this issue. As journalists often say, if everyone from all sides is calling you an idiot, you've got it right bsky.app/profile/moat...

Argh that's probably true. I guess I was accounting for some phone time between sessions

EGG IS COMING TO MY DEFENCE

I think if you were to attempt this The Spinoff would cover your costs

if this is correct then you are the smartest man alive

it's a great suggestion but unfortunately I am too stupid to even do the small amount of maths I have attempted

agree, I was certainly happier before I heard the number "70 million litres of raw sewage"

that's my ultimate aim thank you for recognising it

yes but they're not involved in this thought experiment. Also I did not account for the dilution factor I'm sorry sir

In a 1992 study, researchers found humans produce a median 105g of faecal matter per day. Let’s assume that faeces takes two minutes to evacuate your bowels. If you started now, it would take you 2,535 years, 15 days, 13 hours, and 20 minutes of non-stop shitting to produce as much waste as the Moa Point plant is expelling onto schools of unsuspecting fish every day.

did some data journalism thespinoff.co.nz/politics/11-...

Gotta hear both sides

You beautiful man

Josie Butler talks about engaging in "dildo target practice" around her flat

Though I try to stay humble, I'd say I'm probably the nation's top journalist when it comes to in-depth reporting on the Waitangi dildo strike. Even so, I hadn't picked up this piece of info until this week thespinoff.co.nz/politics/05-...
