As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

A device needed charged. In a break from tradition and what is believed to be a historic world first, I was able to go calmly to the shed, locate the appropriate special cable in my box of useful cables, plug in the device and start it charging.

Jason Molina was a genius, and it really is a tragedy he lost his fight with alcohol so damn young.

So, we've a boil-water notice in Christchurch. Sewerage being blown inland from the South Wellington coastline, and deadly floods in the King Country?
These must be the three waters they warned us about.

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.
You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

Yes. This is it. Some people believe their politics; other people adopt politics as an excuse to hurt other people for fun and tell themselves it’s for a good cause and they can’t be blamed.
The internet has let all the people in the latter group find each other and make better rationalizations.

I often think the real ideological divide online is not really ideology by whether politics exists as a permission structure for behaviour or not

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.
i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

This remains the easiest prediction I ever made about NZ politics.
The proposal isn't to ditch NZ Super
The proposal is to give free money to almost everyone
That would require fundamentally reordering the entire economy
Regardless of what you think of the merits, that is not a serious proposal from a 2% party

Ditch NZ Super entirely, minor party says
The Opportunity Party says New Zealanders would be better served by dropping NZ Super and replacing it with an entirely new support system.
