Tapping the pay phones to make a free call & having the operator come on the line & yell at you. #GrowingUpInNewZealand

@FitKiwi 🤭 she’s got the supposed “perfect” emaciated waif model body and it looks utterly stupid & ridiculous. Maybe the designer doesn’t like her?

[@ginoiseau @ginoiseau]

It’s giving me she lost a bet.

The Green Party always get painted as identity politics merchants yet they're the only ones who've released policy addressing the huge problems in our economy.

National's running on "te reo is too confusing" and Labour is the 'This is Fine' dog in a fire meme.

People seeing this sign and not understanding that kura means school would prove the school system in their day failed them in a major way. You have to admire someone whose argument seems to be that they are incredibly dumb.

Twitter at least understands the soft block now. As soon as you block someone, it immediately offers an undo.

I've asked an AI to generate a trailer for a HEIDI movie and now I can never sleep again

@CMRanapia They say “it’s a joke”. But you know this is clearly how they talk all the damn time.

@FranklinHabit It’s pretty hard to know, because *”you can just wander in there accidentally”.

*”you need to have bought a ticket and possibly also be on an organised tour to actually get access to the coliseum”

I will never forget:

We spent a whole 8 mins at a dinner party.

We get seated & one of the guest proudly announces that she'd just climbed Uluru.

I told her how disrepectful I thought that was - it got fierce. I than said that we don't break bread with racist & we walked out.

Today’s job market combines the abusiveness of 1900s jobs and uselessness of 2000s jobs. Somebody will be like “I do growth onboarding for a cupcake company that has a compliment on every wrapper.” And you’ll be like “oh that sounds fun” and they’ll be like “actually they hit us”

[@ginoiseau @ginoiseau]

The number of replies to tweets like this with comments like “it was a roast. Can’t you take a joke?”. You’re staring the point right in the face, and you still can’t see it? It was never funny to many of us. Ever. Not in 1980. Not in 2023.

#MayorWayneBrown, led for the negative. “Good evening ladies and gentlemen, hello darlings, sl*ts and whores, drongos, dickheads, family, friends, f***wits,” he said. “And the occasional intelligent person who shouldn’t be here.” What a foul mouthed old Cracker.

[millymolly @jemmasplace]

I hope Kerry Prendergast will be doing the media rounds tomorrow, condemning Mayor Brown for the foul-mouthed charity debate he took part in. Come on, Kerry, you had plenty to say about another mayor a day or two ago.

[Clare K @AucklandIsland]

I'm sick of the double standards that let men get away with everything, women with very little and Maori women with nothing. It's enraging and sickening, and really really unfair. 🤬

[@ginoiseau @ginoiseau]

@ColeyTangerina They are clearly fine with everyone knowing what utterly repulsive backward out of touch sad old farts they are. Which actually frightens me the most. This is obviously normal conversation in their circles.

[@ginoiseau @ginoiseau]

@Capt_Caffiend Oh no! Iggy went thru an upsetting habit of doing this. He’d find it on a walk and be hoovering it down before you realised. Trying to stop him only ever seemed to make it worse. He did eventually stop.

[@ginoiseau @ginoiseau]

I read the comments. Never read the comments. (Also still very angry that Efeso Collins isn’t Mayor. Very disappointed in Auckland)

Why do so many people not get why gangs exist? It’s not actually just to piss old white people off & do crime.

[Efeso Collins @efesocollins]

"Reducing harm would require tackling the underlying and unsolved societal issues, including inequity, intergenerational trauma, housing and family violence."

So IRD just doesn’t answer phone calls at all now? It puts me thru the steps & then says “we are too busy for any calls at all” *disconnect. Is our income tax department now too cash strapped to put a queueing system on the phone system? Or did they get rid of everyone?
