Yet National, NZ First & ACT are still trying to claim there's no impact
Updated Luxon reaction :- Dead Man Balking
Luxon lasting is a big win, for Labour and NZ First.For National not so much.
When politicians lose/stand down/resign their final speech sometimes is revelatory about who they are.Not expecting that from Luxon.
Noting Luxon allowed himself a daring, rebellious dismissive "Trump's tarfiffs" while being Tova'd this morning.
A gust of grief..
A gust of grief
blows through my soul
abrupt, deep
but fleeting
as lost as the young
lovers
in the fall park
who've mistook it
for Spring.
Never seen an election campaign where the incumbent PM specialises in putting their fingers in their ears and hears nothing.
Anyone else seething at how badly the Greens are polling?
Yes.Quite erratic the whole Bluesky feed.
West of the wall where verse runs free..

No.It's like a whole new dimension of dining and after a week I feel I have only scraped the surface.
Some, not many.
Just realised I have another month of stitches in my mouth before I can aspire to getting them out.Shame those skanky old teeth put up such a fight he had to cut into bone to get them.
Trump's semi living proof that with enough money you can elect anyone to be president.

How bad is this cyclone going to be if Luxon and Co have noticed?
Thankful for today's reminder that humanity and science can be utterly amazing in what it achieves.
Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.
Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.
Welcome home, Integrity crew!
"Melania Trump" It's akin to Eva Hitler (nee Braun) saying she's barely met this Mr Hitler or his friends.It's Berlin, April 1945 in the White House!
MAGAland is like a mental hospital where the meds have run out now.Super scum Alex Jones as a freedom fighter? I don't think so.
My God.One minor bout of surgery yesterday and I'm heading for bed by 10pm.
"Epstein case" All that warring and roaring and Epstein just won't leave predatory, guilty old Donald alone.
all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
