What I always intended doing: Vote Green

I am not sure we really ever had that under FPP either tbh.

At least we have Proportional Representation, so in NZ that works better than a First Past the Post system.

I don't want a continuation of "we couldn't possibly afford to do that" for things that are basic, just and necessary. I want bold and fair government, not centrist bullshit.

I don't want the left to sleepwalk to victory off the back of Luxon being so bad. I want them to present an alternative with vision and increased equity for society. I don't want Labour with their milquetoast "we couldn't possibly raise taxes on the extremely rich".

Yep

TOP talking about the “Blue-Green” space. Which is bullshit really - Blue policies in NZ have been extractive and worked against both the environment and people. Also indicates right-leaning to me. Nope.

The absolute worst election scenario for me is the left lose again with National losing ground and NZF and ACT gaining support and influence.

I mean...it's also my theory so maybe we independently came up with it. Just like Leibniz and Newton with Calculus.

Likely you'd be mistaken for a cloud yelling back.

What else is a 16yo going to do with a sparkler?

Big cock-and-balls drawn with sparkler.

My proudest parenting moment involved my son at 16 with a sparkler.

Not bad for a previous couch potato.

Turns out I would walk 500km, and I would walk 500 more.

Day 97 of the year and my personal trainer and I have hit 1000km walking.

Lol

No energy no jobs and they've been part of the clown show

Apparently they've thought of it. Tilted floor, largish radius, spinning. 9.5 degree slope.

I think you can solve radiation and atmosphere by essentially living in a bubble. Gravity for long term space travel can in theory be solved by spinning the spacecraft. Not sure if it has been solved for planetary or moon living.

Bone density is big too

Earth's evil twin.

Venus would be better, except for the unliveable temperatures and stuff.

There are lots of problems. Low gravity fucks with bodies in a huge way.

Barenaked Ladies thinking vanilla was the finest of the flavours has me convinced they had never eaten feijoas.

Curia has Greens down during an energy emergency where greener transport solutions would be helpful. Meanwhile, the "(very) Old Man shouts at clouds" party is at an all-time high.

Make it make sense.

haha brilliant

Indeed!

Red sky at night shepherds and sailors very happy.

Not sure my phone camera can do it justice but sky in Palmerston North is gorgeous tonight.

Watched it in the end. What a courageous innings from Green.

Might watch the cricket...oh no! Might not.
