"It would be really bad if they don't work out this Hormuz thing, so they'll figure it out some way" is still the prevailing attitude.

Can see it in markets, media, politicians, public.

Bad can't happen, people in charge know what they're doing, it's all content anyway.

I find it... unsettling.

The “you’re not reviewing the movie” thing: If a person is accused of being a pedophile and you make a movie about them that does not address that and then views the subject matter positively, you may have made a pro-pedophile movie.

Now that the Luxon leadership battle has been finally settled (in his mind at least), the media should pivot to asking him why National's relentless focus on being Better Economic Managers™️is taking us backwards.

Back on track, baby! Mojo! MOJO!!

This is bullshit: Robbie Williams isn’t rock, he’s pop.

Sweet Transvestite (RHS Demotape 1973) YouTube video by Richard O'Brien - Topic

So I just learned that Richard O'Brien's original demo version of "Sweet Transvestite" is basically a Lou Reed song and I couldn't be more delighted!

Me last week: Yay! The kid likes the B-52s!

Me this week: If I hear "Rock Lobster" one more time I will die.

If Winston doesn't want to work with racists, why is he in the same party as Shane Jones and why is he in coalition with Paul Goldsmith?
#nzpol

Chris Luxon can’t face resigning - so he’s attacking Winston hoping Winston will pull the carpet from the coalition.

Luxon then steps down on his own accord (in his mind) and lets a snap election snap.

Who would want to be in power as the fuel crisis hits?

"Labour is a bad party because they would be willing to go into coalition with our current coalition partner" really is quite something

If National think NZFirst are racist and shouldn’t be in government then they should call a snap election now.

No, I meant Jacinda! :-)

Luxon fires up at Peters: NZ First responsible for PM Jacinda Ardern The Prime Minister says Winston Peters is trying to 'scaremonger'.

Luxon trying to scare the electorate by invoking the spectre of [checks notes] the most popular NZ politician in a generation.

“They claimed to be socially conservative, then they put a sheila into power!”

Caps lock was on, wasn’t it?

For instance, you will not understand the Pope unless you understand genuine devotion to a set of principles, and Trump is quite literally incapable of understanding that, so the Pope is just a total blank mystery to him. "Why does this competing Boss keep talking about the poor? What's his angle?"

The Simpsons. “Note: Poochie died on the way bACK to his home Planet.”

a bold way to end the michael jackson biopic

It’s not an impossibility that they are murdering people and making snuff films of it to keep Trump’s spirits up as everything goes to pot.

I was *just* using a Moomin mug an hour or so ago thinking, ‘I would love to go to Finland and get more Moomin mugs’! (Somewhat harder from New Zealand.)

I may have shouted “pedophile!” in the quiet at the end of the trailer at the Embassy on Sunday evening.

Lawrence Gordon Clark's 1979 ITV adaptation of M.R. James' 'Casting the Runes' doesn't quite match his best BBC work. but it's far better than its reputation suggests.

It is an excellent question that should be asked of Trump and every Republican.

Alison Elliot in Almereyda's THE ETERNAL

Since we're talking mummies, may I recommend Michael Almereyda's derided/dismissed/all-but-forgotten THE ETERNAL (1988) which not only introduced me to Cat Power & Joe Dolan, but features Chris Walken doing an Irish brogue (kind of), and sports one of the great reveals of a monster/child-in-peril?
