Lee Tamahori and John Day's doco, following Herbs to Ruatoria to launch their album Sensitive To A Smile, is always worth a watch - all the more so with Dilworth Karaka's passing this week.

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

The A/B of headlines on that Covid report story on RNZ is wild.

Covid-19 response inquiry finds government's response effective but late, poorly communicated "We got a lot right. More than most," the former PM and Grant Robertson say, while Simeon Brown says warnings about the economy "were not heeded".

Our COVID-19 response started five years & 51 weeks ago, and yet this is only this election year's second-to-last cynical kangaroo court inquiry established by the current govt to gainsay the prior govt's calls that, at the time, they mostly supported www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

A good time to remind that there was a great research project from the James Henare Research Centre, "Harirū, Hongi and Hau in the time of COVID-19"

Current coalition partner criticising the last govt, which he engaged in, is pretty much NZ1st summed up. Populist bollocks following votes wherever he can get em

Lil Simeon did not get the slam dunk he wanted lol.

Had these people been in power, I shudder thinking where we would be now as a country.

With every syllable from this fuckwit's mouth, I am again thankful that this party was not the govt throughout that time period.

BREAKING: Iran is planning to impose duties on tankers and ships in the Gulf, according to CNN report.

Wonder if each question starting in 15 mins is gonna be answered in a way which tries to move focus away from their ineptitude as a coalition, to a coalition initiated report which largely vindicates the actions of the govt of the time and how despo they are if that is the case

TBH, I lost faith in the party the way they dealt with these two MPs. And while I am happy my MP won their case, I don't know if her future with them is tenable.

I voted for the person over the party.

THIS. Tamatha Paul is right - but if you'd pardon my French it's a little fucking rich of media outlets like The Post who repeatedly laundered and amplified this kind of dirty politics to be riding the ethical high horse. #nzpol

Thank god we spent the last few years massively converting industry to renewables and incentivising household solar. We'd be in so much trouble right now.

The countries also in need of regime change are the ones who have undertaken and supported a genocide before launching an illegal war.

At some point the intl community needs to grow up and fight back against this imperialist shit.

Colonisers.

A Swiss kick in the ass.

Thousands of people in the UK took to the streets to call out the corrupt US and Israel on their illegal war of aggression in Iran.

A lot of this comes back to sons of Europe and their neverending thirst to colonise and oppress.

Shrug off polls all you want. What it shows is a disdain for those snapshots of sentiment. Instead of acknowledging, to brush it off reeks of “now listen to me plebs, i used to run an airline” vibes. But like any self entitled prick, he will expect your support in November. Out of touch.

Remember when the IDF had a squad dress up as medical personnel to enter a hospital and execute an injured man in his hospital bed
