Wellington voters don’t think bicycle lanes are bad for the city. If they did our councillors would look different

Greens & labour hold a majority over the deeply conservative ‘independents’ so i hope the mayor doesn’t go backwards when they have a progressive council

Bethany showed you could be a not rich housewife and make it work. But she didn't cosplay wealth like so many do. I can only imagine how much money they'd save by taking some classes & doing their own makeup

We got our central library back. There's proper pipes down Taranaki street now. No sewage dripping down Cuba street and Lambton Quay. There's a much safer cycle routes between city and airport, and the basin. The buses aren't cancelled every day

What a difference from Wellington three years ago.

The crumbling seawall was on the other side of the bay where there is no beach. I thought the seawall by the beach was moved forward , that's how bad it is. And if it was about storms you'd think they'd raise the height of the seawall.

my threads stream (mostly housewives & pop culture) is all about a streamers dog & a female politician being annoyed at a staff member (unprofessionally floating around in the back of a video call). My Bravo feed here is full of MAGA women Something super hinky is going on with algorithms :(

The ai decides what article is paywalled. And it isn’t across the board, it’s dependent on your use of the site and your location & other things.

my Bravo feed is filled with people referring to someone in Dumps admin as a real housewife and honestly this woman is so incompetent she'd never last. Also stop ruining my joy with politics. Bravo is my escape

they ran to the newspaper and social media awfully fast. I'm not really a big fan of campaigns when a lot of information was hidden - did they have a contract in place for the new tearooms? what sort of lease did they have for the chocolate fish? I suspect the truth is a bit of them a bit of PJ
