Milwaukeean by birth, Kiwi by choice. I used to chef. Now I hang out with my wife, play punk rock guitar, umpire New Zealand baseball, and play with my deaf dog.

My friend Tim has put a massive solar installation on his Ōtepoti Dunedin student flats, it's producing more electricity than the tenants use.
They're going to offer FREE electricity to the students. LEGENDS
This isn't hard.

Hey @thebulwark.com @jvl.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social can someone please DM me? Super frustrated that I've got an issue with my subscription and I can't find any way to contact you guys other than sending missives out into the ether.

This is vile. What are those croissant-shaped things? Surely not croissants. And did she forget to put cheese on the macaroni? Everything looks dry as shit except for the beans, which have been cooked to within an inch of their lives.

It's Alive by The Ramones. This was true when I first heard it in 1982, and it's still true now that I just turned 60.

Mate. Come over here and have a pie. You’ll get it then.
* New Zealand takes pies (namely, handheld meat pies) so seriously that there are National Pie Awards that get major media coverage. The New Zealand National Library has a whole dedicated category for “Pies — Competitions.”
Pie.

Everyone please write to labour:
Chris Hipkins
Ayesha Verrall
Shanan Halbert
Duncan Webb (as this is a human rights issue)
And ask them to make a strong statement saying they will instantly repeal the regulation. Apply as much pressure as possible to the Government.

Hey @thebulwark.com — I'm a paid subscriber, and I can see your premium stuff on Substack but not on YouTube. Can't find anyplace on YouTube to fix that either. Suggestions?

Hey @bsky.app @support.bsky.team I’m having an ongoing issue on my iPhone. When I try to watch a video, it almost always freezes part way through. Sometimes it’ll unfreeze, sometimes I can’t even go back to the original post and I need to quit the app and restart. On both wifi and 5G. Help?

@patbrittenden.bsky.social @chewienz.bsky.social Here's an important lesson the Dems might take: Zohran won in NYC from left, Spanberger and Sherrill won in VA and NJ from the center. It's a big country, and different Dems can win in different areas if they're authentic, disciplined and smart.
