Kua hinga te tōtara i Te Waonui a Tāne. RIP, Sir Sam Neil. Absolute legend. #sad #loss #legend

same city. i love te whanganui-a-tara! and, i get that it's complicated but personally? give me grunge over sterile 6 day out 7. #UrbanGaze #cities #wellington #AoNZ #architecture #grunge #photography

i mean, don't trust anything you see on the internet, but...the ball hit the cable.

This political cartoon by American artist Ron Cobb in 1975 is still relevant today 51 years later.

A mid-flight scratch, then an effortless roll to face the pursuing raven. Apex predator aura. Drop a follow if you love this

Ann Telnaes always seem to get it right. This is absolutely right. Trumpy is already gloating he can fire anyone he wants. Expect a lot of people to be fired. If you're not Trumpy enough, you should expect a pink slip. How much does SCOTUS makes in their side hustle in their obedience to Trumpy?

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

i mean, i like a bright sunny day as much as the next guy...but not really. give me moody, Eeyore lighting (almost) every time. #urbangaze #moody #lowlight #overcast #wellington #AoNZ #photography #Lumix #L10

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

love me some good old authentic grunge to make a city feel lived in. #urbangaze #alley #wellington #AoNZ #photography

i have explained to Pō that the 130 km/h southerlies are only in the exposed areas and we aren't seeing too much above 95 km/h where we are, but he is unconvinced. #catsofAoNZ #Burmese #gales #wind #photography #Lumix #L10

just to counter the bsky pet trend? both of these little weirdos are fine and very much still alive. #catsofbsky #cats #bnw #livingpets

You've Stone'd your last Temple Pilot?

and now they've traded Naz for LaMelo? ... i'm out #nba #timberwolves

3 for 3.

I remember this. It was a scandal that rocked the national news!

Nobody believed Trump and Vance that Iran was going to spend this money on US farm products. That was a line to assuage the cultists who were told by their hero for a decade that providing billions to Iran was weak and evil.

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

as a committed centrist, it saddens me that both parties are falling captive to their extremes - the right to insurrectionist cultists who want to invade american cities, and the left to socialists who want better bus service

as we're looking through some of the day's images: My Brain: you know, the L10 (our new camera) will do in-camera focus stacking. Me: ... where the fuck were you when we were taking these shots?!? apparently _I_ need a firmware update. #photography #Lumix #L10 #flowers

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

Hunter speaks! Dems need to listen. 🙌🔥

Hot take: rump has manoeuvred Vance into the ditch so that now the _only_ way Vance gets the desk, indeed any political future, is in exchange for a pardon when rump resigns after the midterm. #uspolitics

i cannot properly communicate, and this photo can't really show, but Wellington has a fetish for stair cases you will only ever fall down _once_. Wellingtonians be like mountain goats getting in and out of their houses. #urbangaze #stairs #wellington #photography

With Infantino's announcement that President Algae will be presenting the WC trophy, I assume FIFA has or is crafting a second one? A replica? You know, so the winning team actually gets something? #FIFA #Antififa #fashy #sportpolitics

Urban planning by M.C. Escher? #urbangaze #stairs #monochrome #LumixL10 #photography

Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) has some stunning architecture. But, also...I mean, the 1970s called and they would like their linoleum back? #urbangaze #architecture #city #high-rise #photography

there are times when Wellington looks and feels like it was dreamt up and and drawn by Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. #urbangaze #moody #city #wellington #AoNZ #photography #LumixL10

Me watching a documentary about psychopaths and how they "prefer to stay at home, don't have many friends and can get very upset over a minor inconvenience"

might be my fav photo i've ever taken of (nominally, anyway) st. pete's! #moody #overcast #urbangaze #wellington #lumix #L10 #photography

The USFWS plans to hand over more than 700 acres of The Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge — home to some of the United States’ most critically endangered species — to SpaceX in a reckless land swap. Tell your senators to stop this giveaway. act.biologicaldiversity.org/Ws09iSNvsE2X...

Some tasty light in Wellington today! #urbangaze #urbanskyline #architecture #photography #moody #LumixL10 #te-whanganui-a-tara

"If a Democrat had done x____" Y'all _really_ need to get unstuck from the misconception that MAGA is part of a shared political project. They're not. Just figure out how to ensure that your turnout makes everything else they're going to throw at the midterms moot, k? tyvm #USPolitics

Historians are going to have a hard time documenting how we completely defeated Iran on day one of the war only to offer them $300 billion three months later to stop fighting.

Michelle Obama appreciation day!! ❤️

This is so Artistic 😊

Congrats, NY Knicks! and especially Big Kat, who should go directly to Minny and buy Tim Connelly a stiff drink. #nba #finals
