They use the law to commit crime
And I dread, dread to think what the future will bring

I say, musical persons of Bluesky, I have just this minute realised something. Prompted by seeing a video of Split Enz practising and they are all on Persian rugs and this reminded me of all the times I have seen this in shots of bands recording. Are Persian rugs good for some acoustic reason?

Righto, I know you've been on tenderhooks and even twentyhooks about the Cliff Richard biography. My takes, so far,
1. Harry (Cliff's real name} and The Management Team have a product, Cliff, that they guard obsessively.
2. At no time has Cliff ever expressed the joy of music. It is a business.

Peters does little else other than grandstand. It is all about him.
And what's the influence of Peters' in shaping sentiments targeting Governor of RBNZ? Supporters found vindication, critics found confirmation. Minimal actual persuasion occurred; *maximum polarisation* achieved. This is a signature divisive, & damaging discursive pathology fostered by Peters.

If they declare martial law in the US are we still friends with them?
Do we keep the FBI office in Wellington?
We’ve just undermined our elections with the passing of the Electoral Amendment Bill, following the US blueprint - the threat is real, and the next election the most consequential to date.

Dear USA, you need to rid yourselves of this gross, disgusting liar and his racist, fascist party.
Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."
