Itโ€™s after-noon, and the house is โ€˜tidy-ishโ€™, so Iโ€™m trying Pimms over ice with Bombay sapphire, lemon/lime&bitters, fresh lime and orange juice. Recommend on the basis of first few sips. ๐Ÿคฃ

I swear the right-wing of NZ govt is getting even more shameless, with the attitude that they don't have to answer to the public.

They absolutely do. They work for us, not the other way around.

Itโ€™s nearly 4 pm; Iโ€™m going to pour out some Pimms over crushed ice and see what else might go with it โ€ฆ Iโ€™m eying up the slivovitz or a shot of Kahlua. Iโ€™ll need some premed to watch the two minute summary of Trumps hour long speech. Pimms is always uplifting. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Žโค๏ธ

Is there such a thing as a Pimms slushie? Maybe with mint, soda, lime/lemon and a maraschino cherry and a tiny paper umbrella? Extra gin or some other white spirit recommendedโ€ฆ โค๏ธ

โ€œFormer Pharmac board member Dr Anthony Jordan told Stuff he wrote to board chairperson Paula Bennett that night, resigning effective immediately, because he believed the new directive ignored โ€œclear evidenceโ€ that the agencyโ€™s Treaty considerations had improved the health of New Zealand.โ€ #NZpol

They only invented those heated tobacco devices becuz they were shit scared at how much money they were hemorrhaging over ppl switching to vapes, they never took off then and I doubt they will now. Our so-called government are thick as pig shit, ignorant af, not a bright idea to be had between them!

NZ no longer on track for net zero under Govt's new climate plan Tree-planting and carbon capture technologies are at the centre of the Government's new climate change plan.

The coalition's climate change plans are best summed up as "someone will do something... at some point... *shrug*."

How could anyone believe Paula Bullshit that a) increasing use of medicines/devices WILL lead to overall cost-savings (rather than improved outcomes at higher cost), b) Seymourโ€™s letter isnโ€™t a racist dogwhistle and c) โ€˜advocatesโ€™ (often ghost-funded by industry) will โ€˜improve decisionsโ€™.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only ยฃ3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.
