I was out in these conditions as a sail trainee on Spirit of Adventure nearly 40 years ago, out of Port Fitzroy. 55 but not sure of the gusts, the anemometer stopped at 60. Fun times!

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears is you look at tolerance not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance. Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

Objectively funny they're slapping a 50% tariff on the country where we get 57% of our imported roses from 2 weeks before Valentine's Day.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

The worst manager in NZ political history keeps getting dog-walked by the most divisive, morally corrupt politicians in NZ political history.

But he's rich. He's sorted.
