Gracious as ever:
Defeated Wellington mayoral candidate Ray Chung, who narrowly retained his Wharangi/Onslow-Western ward seat, said his message to voters was: “This is what you’ve chosen. Live with it.” Of Andrew Little " He’s lying about something."
From The Spinoff.

Auckland’s once paper of record, the Herald, senior local affairs reporter wrote 0 articles on the race, even taking an overseas holiday as the campaign reached its peak. ‘No-one cares about city politics’ no doubt is the excuse, well no one can if all they are feed is imported gossip, for clicks.

Oh man, which far-right rag is publishing this crap?

*looks*

oh, right.

And our friends out west have returned Calvert and Chung (boo, wtf) and Matthews (yay)

Tiefenbacher, O'Brien and Osbourne in my ward is about what I expected. Will be funny to see how Tiefenbacher goes as a councillor given how arrogant his mayoralty bid was. (I'll resign if council doesn't fall in line behind me type talk)

Little as expected doing it easily in Wlg. Chung getting twice the vote of Calvert though? Our righties are a weird mob pōneke

There is sooo much paper and sooo many people warning me about 'consequences' wtf?

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

(Additional update: Michael Laws lives in Cromwell these days and is stinking up the Otago Regional Council.)

Well fuck - Selwyn has elected a majority of Council with links to VFF, Act, and Trump fans. Maybe put that on the no fly list for the next three years

is this what people on the right side of history say

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

we will cut trump and his forces off from the sea

most annoying part of having a baby is how everyone you know is all "can I see the baby" "where's the baby" "I don't see the baby" "is there actually a baby" "I don't mean to imply anything" "it's just that... You've been different lately" "ever since you fainted during that weird electrical storm"

Pathetic & desperate. Luxon is drowning.

Media reporting Thiel talk series on the antichrist and not using the words or phrases 'gibberish' 'laughable nonsense' "stupid fucker' 'sweet lord almighty what does he take us for' this guy fucking sucks lol', I see you

real shitposters only use lower case because we are anti-capitalism

It’s tradition that when you see the frogs, you show them respect 🫡

As any military strategist knows, port cities are always particularly vulnerable to amphibian assault.
