Mr and I are forcing ourselves to return to eating at regular meal times today. We spent the last three days at his mum and dad's and basically, no exaggeration, she served us food from the moment we arrived until the second we left. She even gave us food for the car and to make when we got home 😂

Nothing tells me "Don't vote Labour" more than Labour hinting that they may go into coalition with NZF.

In addition to being virulently racist and Islamophobic, Bardot also emotionally and psychologically mistreated her son. So there's that too.

Funny watching so many folk celebrate Bardot. It brings this meme to mind.

Oh god, did they just describe McSkimming as a "crook"???
What the heck?

One News describing Bardot's marriage to and support for Nazis as "reputation was damaged by a few homophobic and Islamophobic remarks" 😐

And so begins the NZ tradition of figuring out which region of the country will be on the news in the morning accompanied by photos of campers sitting on tables and cars as their tents float around them 🎄

For just one night a year, we get to switch our radar from "RAIN" to the special "SANTA" function.
If we are very lucky, we might catch a quick glimpse of Santa and his reindeer as they head our way.
Next stop: New Zealand!
Merry Christmas, Meri Kirihimete

It's bad to spread fake posts like this because it makes us less affected by what he really says. This is so outrageous that it tempers (admittedly only slightly) the real outrageous bs he says. We don't need to do this. Satire is great when it's clearly satire. Fake posts aren't the same.

I'm unable to check if this is real. In a long list of bizarre posts, this is up there at the top of the wtf are we doing here pile.

On the 15th of December this year, Aotearoa New Zealand passed the 2.5 year mark for Self-ID.
As we always said, there have been zero issues arising from this. Not a single incident recorded formally or informally, not a whisper of a problem.
The anti-trans activists lied to everyone.

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

I got 14 but really 15 because I somehow accidentally clicked on the wrong colour of Santa's coat and was surprised to see what I had picked. It was hard but fun. I'm terrible at true/false.
It's Christmas Quiz time. 20 festive questions which are probably too hard - sorry. Please share so others can suffer

The number of British programs where they mention they lost someone due to Covid. I think New Zealanders totally underestimate how lucky (and well managed) we were. The still loud antivax voice/Covid deniers doesn't help. Much harder to deny Covid exists when everyone knows someone who lost someone.

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.
Vance's latest rant has set off another misguided round of "free Usha" rhetoric. This isn't just inaccurate--she's wholly a part of this fascist project--it's dangerous. We can no longer afford to imagine fascism as smaller than it is. Hindu fascism is vast, too. No religion is immune.

Nicki Minaj proves that as soon as a celebrity runs all the way out of fans, they just turn Republican and inherit some fairweather fans who just want to hear you parrot their opinions back at them. It's a cynical grift every single time and it's always a pathetic career death.

Look, there are a lot of normal people hanging out at the torchlight parade and book burning. You make it sound like we’re all fascists, but we’re just there because our friends are there.
the broad inability to leave a social media platform owned by a white supremacist and prolific manipulator of public perception really is one of the most discouraging data points right now

Possibly unpopular opinion but I don't care if Andrew Tate got his face punched or not. I don't know if the other guy is a better person. I'd be happy if he was in prison for his crimes but getting paid to play a sport, even one he's lost, doesn't seem that joyful.
