NPC.

"Non Participating Character."

An NPC is a background character in a game that hovers around in the background filling in the scenery, but has no influence on the action.

Luxon is an NPC.

Paws for thought.

When the whole world seems to have gone to hell in a handbag, focus on your world. How you treat the underprivileged, the poor, the lonely, the minority. If all of us address our small worlds, the big world will get better.

Humpty Dumpty slept on the wall
Humpty Dumpty skipped a big call
All the EUs leaders, women and men

"I am women,
Hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore"

Helen Reddy sang some powerful lyrics in 1972 as the Womens Liberation Movement began to gather steam. She'd be rolling in her grave at how far back we've slid.

LET'S ROAR!!

SImeon Brown OUTED.
@Howick bookstore where he was watching a kids chess match.
I walk him up voluminous copies of Te Tiriti and History of NZ "Hi, i suggest you read these".
He LOOKS AT THEM, pauses & replies "WHAT ARE THOSE?".
I reply with "Ohhh priceless".

Indeed. The idea of an intelligent debate that doesn't feature hysterics and swamp troll behaviour would be refreshing.

Pohutukawa … like the trees turning here in Fall, this red mean it’s kiwi summer … and oh yeah the NZ is very burny so slip slop slap people or you’ll be the same 😂 #kiwi #Aoteoroa #summer

Wondering if I should open up the kiwikids or kiwimafia handles …

Might be fun for the #Aoteoroa clan #NZ #Kiwi

Sir Peter and Dame Fran bought a tract of land at their personal expense to stop a destructive development project that the majority of residents didn’t want. Cycled past the area today for the first time in months. Amazing. #lotr #miramar #noorthanc #aoteoroa
