Bring back #nzsecretsanta, it was the only good thing about this place.

@foxcar_joey @metro_mim That's the spirit!

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@foxcar_joey @metro_mim I'll buy one if you include the density-enabling transit powerhouse of the mighty, inimitable, Johnsonville Line

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@imfeelinwhoopee @KookyDoesStuff I'd love a code, if it's still going!

TL;DR: Musk's fragile ego couldn't handle an apparent drop in popularity so he bullied Twitter engineers into amplifying his voice. What a great and inspiring leader 🙃

[Zoë Schiffer @ZoeSchiffer]

NEW: Elon Musk directed Twitter engineers to design a secret system to boost his tweets over everyone else's after his post about the Super Bowl did poorly compared to President Biden's: https://t.co/HsJ0BZOSCI

@MorganGodfery That is kind of the point though, right? It's never been about efficacy and they should stop pretending it is. Like, just be honest and say you want naughty kids to be bullied by a drill sergeant. Be true to motivations. Honest about dark urge for retribution. Live laugh lock-up

@Publicwrongs There's something quite inherently rude about a phone call— it demands a person's attention, loudly, incessantly, before they've agreed to engage. No surprise why we don't like it as a first resort of communication! If you can text first, text first. It's just politer.

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@Jay_Hadfield @WgtnCC With the current street layout, it takes deliberate effort to park there. People are being intentionally aggressive because it's such a contentious development and it's literally endangering everyone aaaaaaaaaaaand it's very civilised of you to tweet about it instead of keying it

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@AJStream is this pandemic a result of climate change?

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@AJStream can Covid be spread by chemtrails?

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@AJStream can other great apes contract Covid?

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@AJStream how many times can you be reinfected? Should I drink disinfectant?

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@AJStream my dog is immuno-compromised, should I be worried about her contracting Covid?

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@JoelRowan Reasons you can't possibly be queer:

1) Bible says no
2) Just a phase
3) You didn't ask me my star sign

BULLETPROOF LOGIC

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@UniversalQandA yes that's all very well and good but how far down do the turtles go?

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@kylemacd @nzherald Hosking's characteristically arrogant spouting had me shaking with fury; thankyou thankyou thankyou for providing such a sane and humble counterpoint. There's nothing worse than being talked down to, but especially when it comes from the misapprehension that age = wisdom.

[Mihingarangi Forbes @Mihi_Forbes]

NZ we're in that uncomfortable stage when you feel vulnerable because others are raising points that might have truth. Stay in the conversation, listen and try not to attack. Let's learn something about racism.

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@GeorgeEGe Although that does explain why he'd've been scared of me, I prefer to be described as "apex predator": "murder machine" is a bit too on the nose for my taste.

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@GeorgeEGe Why does everyone assume I was scared? Fucking fangirling, sharks rule

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

@NewZulund Tauranga, so don't panic 😂
We get tonnes of bronzeys here, just not usually so big or close so it was a bloody excite

[Sonya @sonniewonnie]

I just saw a big shark, up close, while swimming. I'd love to be able to claim I kept my cool, but I really didn't.
