I'm hoping for great things. Not quite sure how good I can reasonably expect this to get...

National and the idiots are flat lining our economy and our health service. Kick them out in 26 #nzpol

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

Hooray, a source link.

I got myself a batch of OIA documents from the Ministry of Education about school attendance. One of them presents David Seymour with a rather awkward problem. It begins on 11 February 2025. Intrigued? #nzpol

No she’s not.

I picked up a copy of the collected letters of JRR Tolkien for reasons, and this is the most bullshit table of contents I've ever seen. I'm actively angry that it exists

Remember the Herald was founded in 1863 to support the Waikato invasion that kicked off the Land Wars. Not much has changed honestly since then given the Paul Henry article below
