Loud bang like a truck had hit the house followed by a strong jolt has many people in the Bay awake.

Without knowing which ‘Bay’ (Hawkes, Poverty, ‘Plenty) you are referring-to, but FWIW, GeoNet advises that there was a Magnitude 4.5 earthquake (Described as a ‘Moderate’ quake) at a point 5km south of Napier at 0108 this morning and at a depth of 24 km, followed by a Magnitude 2.3 ‘quake (Although at a depth of 19 km) in the same area at 0228.

From your description, it appears likely that you experienced the first one.

i find it fucking hilarious in merica that the govt shutdown has resulted in the threat to stop EBTs… notice how the bludging scums first response is to threaten mass looting or to kill trump when it should be to go out and find a fucking job.
thats what prolonged welfare does, creates massive entitlement esp by clack bunts and its clear its not a safety net but instead a hammock theyve made a comfy lifestyle out of.

anyways i hope the shutdown continues and they do halt the payments, i wanna see the tolerant left and those super peaceful black folk queuing up niceley begging trump to reinstate the bene…. who am i kidding, i wanna be proven right and watch them looting tvs, nikes and everything else that isnt food while telling cnn theyre doing it cuz they huuungry. lol dumb clack bunts.
bet they burn the supermarkets down like they did through the peaceful blm riots.

Government employee found guilty over possessing mosque shooting video resigns
A Government employee has resigned from his position, months after he was found guilty at the end of a judge-alone trial.
The man, who has interim name suppression, was charged with possessing three copies of the video of the Christchurch mosque shooting, a charge which attracts a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail, or fine up to $50,000.
In his evidence, the man said he emailed videos from his work phone to a personal phone but did not believe they had been saved.
He was found guilty after a trial at the Dunedin District Court in August, with his evidence described by the judge as “unconvincing”.

So the empire is still alive, and our freedom of speech is still not Freedom of Speech.

A grubby, grotty attempt to shirk responsibility for decades of horror What if I told you there was a place where six year olds were taken from their parents. Systemically raped, tortured, and abused…. and then it was covered up by the Government?
You’d say it sounded like a conspiracy theory. Or a truly messed up Stephen King novel. But it was New Zealand in the 1970s.
Not too long ago really. 50 odd years-ish.

New expressway to cut nearly 40 minutes off trip between Auckland and WhangāreiThe NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) board has endorsed the investment case for the Te Hana to Whangārei expressway. The Government is funding $187 million to progress design, consent and route protection.
Priority will be given to an alternative to the Brynderwyn Hills, due to the vulnerability of this route to weather and closures from slips.
Designing, consenting and building the route is expected to cost between $15.3 billion and $18.3b, with tolls likely to help construction and maintenance.

Hardly a revelation for YSB readers but https://expose-news.com/2025/10/26/covid-response-killed-more-children-than-covid/#comments quotes a Professor Steve Turner, a consultant paediatrician, who gave evidence at the UK Covid Inquiry:

#. “Children who had kidney transplants, whose immune system was suppressed – we were really worried about them. But the virus bounced off them. So, we knew very, very quickly that this virus, for whatever reason, doing harm for the vast majority of children in whom we thought it would.”

The article goes on to state that the harm, both physical & mental, suffered by the kids outweighed any risk from the Covid virus. Covid affected the elderly yet children’s well being was sacrificed needlessly despite what the authorities knew.

…… Qatar has given one million dollars to UN Women “in an effort to strengthen its commitment to promoting the empowerment of women and girls around the world.” If that’s not a victory, it looks a lot like one.

This is what all the money Islamic dictatorships invest in the UN is for.
It’s no coincidence that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation is the largest voting bloc at the UN. ……

…..’Qatar has given one million dollars to UN Women “in an effort to strengthen its commitment to promoting the empowerment of women and girls around the world.”…..

Bur Wikipedia states; “Women in Qatar must obtain permission from their male guardians to marry, study abroad on government scholarships, work in many government jobs, travel abroad until certain ages, receive some forms of reproductive health care and to act as a child’s primary guardian, even when they are divorced.[9] Women in Qatar are also subjected to various traditional practices, including FGM, although this has declined in recent years.”

The Townie was taking a walk in the country. In a paddock he noticed something that intrigued him. Why doesn’t this cow have any horns?

He asked the local farmer. “Well sir, cattle can do damage with their horns so we usually keep them trimmed down with a hacksaw. You can also treat young calves so their horns never grow. And some breeds don’t have any horns at all,” the farmer replied.

The farmer continued, “But this cow doesn’t have any horns because it is a horse!”

So this sort of slots into a part of what they were talking about too.

….. an ‘inclusive’ commentary on wokeness. And New York City audiences can’t get enough. …..

….. reimagining of the story of Anne Frank that asks:
What if her diary were inclusive?
What if we addressed the lack of queer representation in that attic?
What if we finally told the story of the Holocaust in a way that honours all people, not just the white people it has always centred on?
