No sign of the next business wunderkind parachuting in for them, or that the public will fall for that again.

All they have are senile career politicians, sycophantic lobbyists, mean girls and conspiracy theorists.

Cozying up to fascists must mean Judith Collins has gotten over her shock at the relocation of parliament's Winston Churchill painting in August 2021.

At the time she said, "he was one of the very few political leaders who was prepared to stand up to the Nazis and fascists..."

This edit was 2013 and there’s been oodles of legit updates just to this paragraph since. Interestingly this was when Dirty Politics was in full swing. Hager’s book came out 2014.

I’d be nervous it would be a bit toxic for me, I’ve never edited Wikipedia before. Maybe more of us need to start!

Surely this heavily affects Peters’ base? Shows he only cares about cashed up seniors.

Remembered this oldie after Simeon Brown suggested an antiquated occupation for the teens of NZ. It's from the same era his religious beliefs come from after all #NZPol

Photo of a printed article titled "Work, Work, Work". Article reads:
On about this date in 1801, Britain's first census was begun. In a subsequent survey conducted in 1881, residents were asked to furnish their "rank, profession, or occupation." Some of the more puzzling responses, as preserved by the London Genealogical Society, included:
• Colourist of artificial fish
• Knight of the Thimble
• Disinfector of railways
• Examiner of underclothing
• Invisible net maker
• Electric bath attendant
• Proprietor of midgets
• Fifty-two years an imbecile
• Knocker-up of workpeople
• Maker of sand views
• Gymnast to house painter
• Turnip shepherd

Track down ‘Detectorists’ from the UK. It’s the perfect comfort watch. Lots of gentle laughs with two hapless but lovable metal Detectorists and their fellow club members in the idyllic English countryside.

Prediction: residential waterfront property owners will be bailed out for their bad choices while the rest of us are always punished for ours. We’ve all known rising sea levels were coming for 20+ years #NZPol

This will be the new coalition attack line judging by Peters calling protestors ‘bludgers’ today. Gaslighting that there are jobs.

I am announcing that this game is moving directly from my wishlist to my ignore list in Steam

This industry thinks game devs, some of the smartest people alive, are dumb enough to enter a gruelling, toxic and now casualised career? This practice will cost gaming a generation

The only thing I'd insist upon in a new Bond movie, other than it not being an origin story, is that they should have Timothy Dalton back to play M.
