Pretty sure @dashingdarbs.bsky.social might have a pointer or two!
Today I need to do see what else I might need for my Abel Tasman track walk later this week. Very excited! Any tramping tips from #kikorangi gang? It’s been a decade since I did a multi-day hike.
I would love if nz bluesky posted a bit more about what they themselves are doing, and not just what politicians are doing.
Could just be eating toast, walking dogs, finding pretty sea shells.
Something more than endless bad policies

@dieworkwear.bsky.social this is the Health Minister of Papua New Guinea meeting the worst and worst-dressed Prime Minister of New Zealand we’ve ever had. Sorry.
Just wondering what the Menswear guy would make of this picture of the PNG health minister meeting some deranged tourist in ill-fitting clothing.

Now is a great time to listen to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social on their excellent podcast - Maintenance Phase. The Dr Oz and RFK Jr episodes in particular but any of them are great tbh

You may know the software company Palantir as a contractor for ICE + the military. But in recent months, it's relaunched its merch store & said it wants to be a "lifestyle brand."
What does it mean for Palantir to be a lifestyle brand...? I unpacked it here:

New Zealand lost its AA+ rating under Key, and regained it under Ardern. If political journalists were willing to include that sort of context it would be much harder for Nicky No-boats to lecture the left on fiscal responsibility. #nzpol

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

50 days of no booze today. Feels great, scary and real. It’s exciting to see how much more *life* I have in my life. I relied on booze for stress relief and reward and escape. Some people can truly drink moderately- I am not one of them. I’ve stopped before it got worse. #IWNDWYT #soberskeet
