I have theory that all free and fair elections worldwide at all levels will yoyo for next 10-15 years ie all administrations will be 1 term. People angry but don't understand the real reasons why their lives are being impoverished.

Have you tried intense exercise, like a rowing machine (my preference), stationary bike, swimming etc? It's really hard the first few times. Then quite suddenly you crave it for the endorphins

I'm no expert but exercise has always helped. The sweet fatigue brings sleep and that's vital I'm sure

For me it was worse in primary school (18 months younger than next youngest - pushy mother) bc l was so immature. High School at 11 not easy either. Academically ok but socially not. I advise all parents not to do this. Think of the child not your vanity

What are the ‘social dimensions’ of moving species for conservation and why does engaging with them matter?

This is the focus of our new paper doi.org/10.1016/j.tr... published in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social olevo.bsky.social led by ever talented @aisrayne.bsky.social

Features as a wee black bird with four leg bands: white over orange on the left leg and red over white on the right leg. Sneaky tufts of feathers peak out from otherwise borb-like body, encouraged by the unseen wind.

Winston Peters needs you to know that he's a victim. He's a victim. And his dog is a victim. His house is a victim. What he has been through is worse than anything anyone else has ever been through. W...

Clearly not living in rural Northland where there are no ballot boxes within 50 kms or reliable rural mail service. We need ballot boxes in most/all public places

FYI I’ll be on TVNZ Breakfast from 7:05am to talk about the age of eligibility for NZ Super. I say don't extend it. It’s not fair on manual workers, Maori, Pasifika, the disabled & those in 30s/40s without the unearned wealth those in 60s/70s are now sitting on. Land tax/wealth tax better. #nzpol

Govt takes a billion in revenue each year in dividends and tax from the electricity sector. This is a regressive form of taxation that causes factories to collapse. Why cant we just tax capital gains like a grown up country
