Baritone ukulele is a silly name for the instrument I play, doesn't sound anything like a ukulele; I play the kitāiti, little guitar.

I wish I could help all the people asking for help on here but I can barely look after myself, sorry. I know I'm privileged as fuck but that doesn't mean I have any money

You got ultra religious people as Ministers and a fringe minority party full of conspiracy theorists and this is what you get. They are in a symbiotic relationship based on hating queer people.

It’s the time of the year (Summer) when the Pōhutukawa trees (also called New Zealand Christmas Trees) begin to bloom. Most bloom brilliant red flowers but this gorgeous beast blooms bright yellow.
This is how it looked this afternoon. 💛

I know there's a lot to keep up with but in case y'all have forgotten, Chris Bishop misappropriated $27m from KO earmarked for stormwater, to build a cycling bridge his own govt's policies killed off.
He needs to be sacked.

Winston Peters and Casey Costello have just announced a ban on puberty blocker prescribing - a ban that is not supported by evidence. Politicians announcing this tells you everything you need to know.

National on various policy areas:

Health: costs too much. Cut it.
Climate action: Costs too much. Cut it.
Pay equity: Costs too much. Cut it.
Prisons. "The cost will be what the cost will be"

#NZGovts anti-#EV policies aren’t about #safety! -quite the opposite!
ICE are called COMBUSTION engines for a reason:
•EVs have 25 fires per 100,000 sold
•Petrol or diesel vehicles have 1,530 fires per 100,000
•hybrid vehicles have 3,475 fires per 100,000​​​​

The irony is that Simeon Brown promised the tunnel would support walking and cycling during the election campaign, then was subsequently unable to explain how that was possible under his own policy as minister. It's such garbage government.

On the question of whether Putin has photos of Trump "blowing Bubba" I feel like the identity of Bubba, while interesting, isn't necessarily the most significant detail.

Stop comparing New Zealand politics and economy to a household.

It's more like going out to dinner is a restaurant that only does one bill per table, and nobody will cop to drinking all that really expensive wine or ordering the table full of untouched sides. #nzpol
