What's like Muldoon's Think Big, but is long and narrow and will definitely bankrupt the country?

The Life of Bryan, a much more controversial movie, was co-produced by George Harrison; the quiet Beatle.

My memory might be faulty, but I seem to remember Peter Beck promising that Rocket Lab was never going to this exact thing.

I've updated the calendar based on observations due to climate change. Apologies to the guy who made the original. Apparently he lives up the road a bit.

Nats once again have no original ideas. They're clearly copying Hipkins here, with his policy bonfire around this time of year before the last election in 2023.

I met Tim Shadbolt once. He was taking part in a debate in 1985 alongside Kayrn Hay, Tom Scott, Gary McCormick and my old man. The topic was Life Is a Sexually Transmitted Disease. I wrangled a back-stage interview with Shadbolt for a mate for a school project.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

At least Colin Powell performed like he meant it at the UN before the oil exploration of Iraq went ahead. Took a sickie at Sky City to march down Queen St for that.

That's just great. We now have two permanent members of the United Nations Security Council in unprovoked wars against neighbouring nation states, and a third, China, rattling its sabre at Taiwan in a speech New Year's Eve. Happy Fucking New Year.

I've never understood white supremacy. Putting aside this fat fuck incel in the photo below, white supremacy is based on ignoring the mitochondrial DNA that shows all European descendents have at least one ancestor who got a Neanderthal pregnant.

This confirms a theory I've been working on a while. We are more like our grandparents than our parents; each generation oscillating in rebellion.

Two of my good mates Dennis and Dave are fundraising to take part in the Shitbox Rally in Oz next year. If anyone in the Wellington region wants some firewood and support a good cause, let me know. Images taken from Neighbourly.

Balls to 2026. A king will lose his kingdom. Probably in the mid-terms. A coalition will have a Mexican stand-off. A coup? Gesundheit. I'm hoping to catch at least one more aurora before the solar maximum ends. We're hoping for illumination, not darkness.

I have no skin in this game but the process is fascinating. Judicial reviews aren't cheap so there's some very serious people involved against the govt, raging against RFK Jnr Jnr; Simeon Brown. You don't have to an entitled cunt to be the Health Minister, but it helps.

History will regard this govt as comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted. Sacrificing the common good for the personal gains.

Imagine finishing your benefit forecasts for HYEFU, closing your laptop, and heading to floor 8 for a few miserable xmas treats... then the actual data comes out and blows your calculations out of the water! [NB: Actual data varies slightly from forecast data, but not by much)

I was NORML NZ's political nerd in the 2000s when I researched and submitted to the Health select committee when they were looking at roadside drug testing. I recommended a 9 nanogramme threshold for cannabis impairment. Around three times what is proposed. This is drug snobbery.

Thoughts for over the summer barbecue; y'know what I really miss? Becoming a republic. Getting away the the Royals. Supreme Court seems to work. No Privy Council shitting on us remotely. MMP is still a work in progress but still less worse than UK's FPP fappery and the US gerrymander. 1/2

I used to have a photo of Roger Douglas and Ruth Richardson attending an Act conference in Otautahi in the 1990s, but I can't prove it. It was a cursed image so I burned it.
