It was a great privilege to live here and I am grateful
Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

If there are no consequences to the "president" for threatening political opponents with death or being cruel to reporters, then why is it even news? Just so we can all be sad about it?

🧵Spotted at a Vineyard Picnic in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A very friendly dog (red cloud kelpie), her bottom square with age, is sprawled on a picnic rug as numerous small humans compete to see Who Can Pat Her Best.
Friendly Dog is in her element, a doggy smile on her face.
This is the life. (1)

When the ICE Gestapo isn't trafficking Brown people.
Or dropping from the sky into primarily Black neighborhoods in the dead of night.
Or shooting priests w/pepper balls, US Marshals, or whoever w/bullets.
Then they are beating up 4ft 6 blind men.

What a fuck wit - Nelson hospital have been pleading with him for budget/resources for a year. Also the same guy who ordered Auckland City Hospital to do minimum work resulting its infrastructure/backup plans failing in emergencies. This guy would not last a day in a real work environment. #nzpol

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

We're all clear that what RNZ is doing by publishing this article is PR cover for *ethnic cleansing* right? And completely, utterly indefensible.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A man (80s?) in an Indiana Jones-style fedora greets a friend by calling out: "Found 'em!" and holding two cheese scones in the air like their precious artifacts raided from an ancient (flour dusted) temple. (1)

This is one stunning squid 🧪
This squid — transparent & beautiful — was spotted during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition, half a mile beneath the surface. It’s been 37 days & 14 hours since our last squid post. We had an inkling that it was time for some Cranchiidae, the family that comprises abt 60 species of glass squid.
