Rural towns struggle with little alternative options amid fuel crisis "We don't have public transport, no trains, busses, we can't get a taxi," say residents of smaller towns as prices surge.

"I'd be happy to pay double to stop them, to stop the Iranians."

The image features the illuminated facade of St Mary of the Angels Catholic Church at night, showcasing its Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, intricate tracery, and a prominent rose window. The church's exterior is adorned with alternating bands of red brick and white stone, highlighting its vertical lines and spires. In the foreground, a sign displays the church's name and service schedule, while lush greenery frames the base. To the left, part of another building with similar architectural elements is visible, and a modern structure with curved glass can be seen in the background, adding contrast to the scene.

The image features a striking red canopy structure at night, supported by slender, angled poles that create a dynamic, flowing design. The canopy casts a vivid red glow over the surrounding area, illuminating the paved ground below. In the background, there are modern buildings with glass facades, and a visible sign for "TSI" adds an urban context. The overall scene is dramatic and visually captivating, with the red lighting creating a bold contrast against the dark sky.

An old log with lines from a bora beetle(?), covered in fine moss with pockets of small bead like forms, looks similar to caviar, metal gray in colour. I think it's a slime mold.

A slime mold? It's pretty creepy looking.

Using 2 different data sets to measure crime in #AotearoaNZ is NOT the 'Gold Standard'.

It's the 'Goldsmith Standard'.

Your govt is lying to you about fewer victims of violent crime.

Within 7 days, ‘what’s that on your chin, you’re not a real Maori’ from a privileged woman whose family benefited from post Maori land war settlement, to ‘hey love you moko kauae!’ from a fellow supermarket shopper, meantime my 9yo littleman’s friends reckon it’s ‘awesome’ #AotearoaNZ 🇳🇿
