I'm with Eva on this one.
If you are shocked that I'm happy that a man responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people is dead, I have terrible news for you about all of my other opinions.

I managed to get a car park by the Ruth Gottlieb Library in Kilbirnie - there’s about 200 people lined up to cast Special Votes. I also dropped some votes off for people circling in their cars desperately wanting to park and vote. One lady said “Gotta keep the fascists out!”. Bloody oath.

"Clean" to the level required by laser optics does not exist in a farmer's world.
Laser weeding is one of those “no wa-well actually no that makes perfect sense doesn’t it” things.

Luxon himself handed me the Prime Minister's science prize last year. Let me say this in plain English: he's an idiot for running a govt who budgeted more for AI than for the Marsden fund. any journo reading this can quote me on it #nzpol

Hoping for similar energy to the recent InternetNZ AGM voting
If you're sick of this government and this absolute race baiting bullshit and attacks on Māori across the board - vote in your local election and vote to keep Māori wards.
Your council is ONLY having a referendum because this government is forcing them to.
How embarrassing if they all get kept.

When you put podcasters in charge of the FBI, they run the FBI like a podcast.
The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP.
That's a detail you keep.

Gather round for a story about this gas well site near us, along the road on our bottom boundary in fact. It is Mangahewa E site. Never brought into production. 4 wells drilled. Mothballed, as we say.
