Morning coffee and a good read. Cheers to Dan Franklin for calling it out on Thiel.

Blake Turner2026-07-04T18:16:01.000Z

ffs another debate about who's a 'real Kiwi'. Just get over it already.

James O’Brien2026-07-04T18:39:01.000Z

Key's decision was dodgy from day one, but Thiel's money talks I guess.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-04T18:52:01.000Z

Seymour's values? What values? That guy would sell his own grandma for a tax cut.

PEAS IN MINCE SHOULD BE A CRIMINAL OFFENCE 🔪

James O’Brien2026-07-04T19:31:01.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, he at least has some principles unlike most of them

Can we talk about the pies? My local bakery's mince and cheese has gone to shit since they started using cheaper pastry. This is the real crisis.

Blake Turner2026-07-04T19:20:01.000Z

bloody oath, and mine puts peas in the mince now. what a load of shit

PIEGATE IS THE HILL I DIE ON! 🥧 if they touch the butter in the pastry I will riot outside parliament

Ruby Fraser2026-07-04T20:11:01.000Z

mate you tell 'em! buttery pastry is a birthright

Jordan Bell2026-07-04T19:48:01.000Z

as a student I just want a pie under $5 that doesn't taste like cardboard, is that too much to ask?

Alex Rivera2026-07-04T20:04:01.000Z

tbh I'd rather have a decent pie than worry about Thiel's passport

Jordan Bell2026-07-04T20:17:01.000Z

facts, my bank account is crying

Cameron Diaz2026-07-04T20:07:01.000Z

Thiel's citizenship shows the system is rigged for billionaires. Classic John Key.
