@therealgregjack I wish she would just hang with her kids on a Sunday. Like apparently the serious journos were doing.

Cruella Willis calls a Sunday cosplay, oops "news conference" to spit venom on Labour and nobody from the media challenges her credibility? By their deeds ye shall know them and know them we do.

@mottbox_ I would love it if kiwi kids and $50 a payday investors felt like they could start a position in this company.

$RKLB 💰📈👂 Rocket Lab CFO Adam Spice: No Additional Capital Needed for Neutron/Space Systems (so why $3B ATM?): "We want to have plenty of dry powder to go acquire strategic assets (...) - we're continuing to look for more needle-moving kind of things." ➢ Past deals have focused on strategic vertical integration plays and bringing unique capabilities into the portfolio (not purely financial/revenue-driven). ➢ Future focus: shifting towards inorganic opportunities which bring true scale (cash flow + revenue). Some vertical integration/capabilities acquisitions should likely still be expected (e.g. RF signal chain) - however, needle-moving mergers/acquisitions that enable true scale along with meaningful cash flow/revenue are now on the horizon.

@ambers196524 Good for a 19-year-old. Also cold and dark and boring. Glad he ended up in a happier place.

David Hockney painted this when he was 19. An absolute master. RIP.

@Sneketoshi I love these. All artists hope there is eventually understanding of their visual world view.

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

If this is AI Hockney, where is there room to make genuine art any more?

@therealgregjack I remember talking to him at WelTec maybe 10 years ago. He undoubtedly got out and about in the electorate. He was not very confident then, which I understood. What I don’t understand is how he is super confident now.

"Chris Bishop"'s disintegrating fieldays snark at Labour makes me wonder if he still thinks he is the real campaign manager.

@nettieg3 There should have been strong built-in safeguards in the data system to prevent this.

Question: I am the adult kid of a male American student studying abroad. DNA provable. Should I be allowed in?

@jofromgreylynn You made good decisions, worked hard and are lucky. I wish this for everyone. ❤️

Husband washed the inside of all the downstairs windows yesterday ☺️

I have followed the story of Sagrada Família since I was a child. I am so excited to watch the news about it. 🥲

@TrueFactsStated Joy or Joie.

Hope and her new fawn. Will ponder names.

INBOX: Labour's first policy of 2026 is a public transport fare cap: - $20 for AKL, Wellington, Chch, - $10 for everywhere else

I have cleaned this amazing Autochrome portrait of the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926), photographed in colour by Étienne Clémentel near the water Lily pond in Monet's garden at Giverny in 1917 (often dated online as 1921). It was taken in colour over a century ago using an early colour glass plate process and isn't colourised.

@kellyenz Philanthropic moves to benefit their local communities and environment?

Last month's credit data showed the full impact of the Lactalis money on the Agri sector balance sheet. Farmers have retired the overdraft and are flush with cash. The system loan to deposit ratio is very low indicating a strong balance sheet. Wonder where that cash is going to go then?

@Gregatnelson Yes. I have had six dogs (often two at a time), and only two of them were the same breed. They all have their own personality. Those high energy nutty moments are an expression of joy and usually short-lived. And it is fun to make a moment that makes a dog super-happy.

If you own a dog does any of this behaviour look familiar

@NiallHarbison Marilyn Monroe would have been 100 years old this week.

She is a very special girl indeed is Marilyn Monroe. It takes a lot to break a dog but she was very nearly there. She is utterly exhausted. Time to start changing her life

@jaketapper Hasn’t your guy been MIA for six days?

@Mountain_Tui @Jandal_It Sickening

So "Suit and tie" is likely James Ross from NZ Taxpayers Union. A former UK Tory staffer, Ross is TPU's OIA Lead in a "Suit and Tie". It explains why it was able to feed insider news to Ani O'Brien to take down Maiki Sherman & its MO. Ani works for TPU's Jordan Williams too 🧵

@London_W4 During the covid lockdowns, New Zealanders painted or printed rainbows on their street-facing windows and people went on walks alone or with friends or with their kids in their neighbourhood and felt some sense of community. Super love rainbows and always will.

I used to like seeing rainbows
