the odd joke 🪜

@sunshinehaze1 @cjsbishop That’s $23 a week. Probably the average amount of a lotto win.

A pensioner phoned Nick Mills this morning. He is in a kianga ora unit. He said that with the new policy, his rent will increase by $1200 per year. What a sad state of affairs. @cjsbishop

@_richardr_ @RealBrittHughes That’s very true

@RealBrittHughes It depends on the type of food and quality of restaurant. For example, I think I get better tasting Peruvian, Thai, and Indian food in a restaurant.

The best part about cooking your own meals is that eventually you get so good at it that you stop wanting to eat out because you know you can not only make it cheaper, but better.

@RealBrittHughes We are finding that. You spend $300 and could have eaten better at home.

@raven_brah This is the most stunningly stupid thing I’ve read all year.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@biggsintweets Average lotto win is about $30. So she’s absolutely correct

i’m no political pundit or expert but this feels like a statement that should probably be a career-ender

@GaryPayinda The average lottery win is probably $30. So she’s absolutely correct

This is not the National Party I knew from 20 or even 10 years ago. It's a new level of meanness that isn't good for the nation. Scapegoating someone else isn't the solution to our problems. Least of all the disabled or in this case, the users of public housing. I work in an ED treating patients from a wide swathe of backgrounds. And I can tell you that living on the benefit is not easy, not pleasurable, not good for one's health, and not fun. No one would knowingly choose it unless your other options in life are really rough: layers of problems to get out from under. And for too many in NZ, it's that. Unaffordable rents, dizzyingly priced housing, weak and backwards-sinking wages, lack of access to basic things like healthcare, education that is truly a 'postcode' lottery. And a crushing job market right now. And in Northland, all of the serious challenges that are faced by people without affordable transportation, isolated by distance and low wages/incomes. In a country that rewards electricity corporations, supermarkets, and banks with some of the most disproportionately excessive profits of all the developed countries. And a Coalition govt, that has with its every breath, helped the giant tech companies avoid taxes, used taxpayer money to assist tobacco companies, oil and gas companies, and property investors. And gone after workers' rights, and weakened or killed laws that would have helped low-wage workers and women workers. Apparently there is enough money in govt for welfare to continue unabated...but only for those who are Coalition government 's highest priority: the multinational corporates, the owners, and the donors. We must elect a govt that looks out for people. What we have now is not that. #labour #whangarei #CostofLiving

Fuck. You.

@revolutsupport No. You don’t take it seriously at all.

@maximumwelfare @jrhennessy I can’t believe people buy Zambrero. It’s it disgusting.

@jrhennessy I just learned Zambrero has more Australian locations

I had a LOT riding on Guzman Y Gomez becoming America's #1 fast casual Mexican chain. I think it was Australia's last shot

@KiddSpade1 Possibly the most stupid thing I have ever read.

It's pretty funny that basically every National government since the first one has built motorways, and now NZ has run out of space to build affordable or useful one's but they don't have any ideas so they're just tanking the budget for the next twenty years with pointless roads

@SunnyLedfurd I remember downloading Pearl Jam MP3’s, I’d always see Dave Matthews along side them. They must be cool too I thought, so I downloaded some too. How wrong I was.

one thing the 90s nostalgia leaves out is how much Dave Matthews we were forced to hear against our will

@HaydenDonnell Average lotto win is probably $30

one of the major clues that social housing tenants haven't effectively won the lotto is that they need social housing

@PronouncedHare Moron. The average lotto win is probably about $30.

Absurd comparison by Willis. The average NZ Lotto winner gets about $350,000. The lifetime effective subsidy for a long-term state house tenant can easily exceed $1 million.

@J6ssicaWatkins Scum

I just found out officially from attorney Carolyn Stewart... I AM NO LONGER A FELON! MY ENTIRE J6 CASE HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY DISMISSED!!!

How much do you get if a cops head dented your bat?

@MrImranPk No. Absolutely not

“If you got a chance to visit Iran for free after the war ends, would you go

@BellatrixLux369 @rushicrypto 17

@oddjoke @rushicrypto How old were you then?

I have heard people claim that the reaction people are having against AI is the same reaction people had when the internet started to be introduced. And as someone who was there at the time, I can tell you NO IT FUCKING WASN'T.

@SarahHuckabee You are a horrible human.

I could write the autopsy for you really quick: Joe Biden was the worst President America has had in decades, surpassed in incompetence only by their next nominee, Kamala Harris.

@thedaywar90 Great shirt

I cannot believe that COSTCO, a family store where there are many children with their parents would allow this POS wear that shirt in the store. I will be contacting COSTCO CORPORATE later today. I know we, in the USA 🇺🇸, have freedom of speech but not hate speech or these kind of statements when in a public place. President Donald J. Trump should take action.
