Smart Cops

Might be an idea to put two news headlines about the New Zealand Police together. One from today, the other from yesterday. Police warned over shifting information to Microsoft cloud services, Phil Pennington, RNZ “Police have been warned that shifting their information to the cloud could have “severe detrimental impacts” if they are not careful.

Speechless Surfer Girl
By NZB3
Just having a listen to some Aussie news today and they’re excited about a girl who won a surfing competition, Isabella Nichols. She is interviewed on the water and gives a fluent, long, rapid-fire sound bite that ends with “I’m speechless.” Found it online and cropped it here. Full interview is even longer! She starts […]

Police Training
By NZB3
Today in State News: Police launch wide-ranging investigation to find out why they approved recruits that couldn’t pass the physical test. Mystery? The Anarkiwi opinion has a quick answer. Opinion subject to verification… Many ‘recruits’, and tertiary ‘students’, for that matter are not part of these programs for their own good at all. They’re there […]

The Entomology Killings
By NZB3
A second bug scientist killed while studying in the field in as many years! Similar thing happened to me but not homicidal. Bad time to be a naturalist in Auckland. First Blockhouse Bay, now St Johns. I don’t think its a serial killer though. I think it’s alien to certain minds that anyone would be […]

Dinosaur Media Self-Hugs
By NZB3
Have been amused by the Legacy Media giving itself a big hug both here and in Australia. Winston Peters dropped a bit of a threat on Radio New Zealand, the State broadcaster, which has circled the mainstream media wagons. How dare he? You might not think ‘journalists’ would mind if the super Woke and taxpayer […]

End of the Line
By NZB3
A parody song of Donald Trump singing the Allman Brothers’ End of the Line… Easter amusement, hope you might enjoy it. And watch for the cameos of the 3 Democrat opponents Trump defeated.

By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Dye’s Slaughterhouse, Kaukapakapa. Est. c.1882. An iconic road-side feature on SHW16….has now fallen. Cyclone Tam’s remnants in April 2025 took it out at long last after over 140 years. Back in the 1860s and 1870s the way to get stock in and out of the district was by accessing the Kaipara Harbour. It was once […]

Admin please delete if not allowed
By NZB3
“Admin please delete if not allowed” Also known as: I can’t be bothered learning the rules I already agreed to and evidently didn’t think about when I did so. Figuring out if those rules apply now is work I’d like to unload onto someone else. I’m aware of a probability that it’s not OK for […]
