The Pentagon is reportedly looking for a new Secretary of Defence. How's about this guy?

He was compassionate and humble. He cared deeply about immigrants, families suffering in war zones, the poor, those of other faiths and the LGBTQ+ community. He did not condemn or judge but urged us to love and care for each other.
He was the best Pope of my life time.
Thank you Pope Francis .

Yes, the captain intentionally piloted the ship into a huge iceberg, cracking the vessel like an egg.

But the officers insist we'll all greatly benefit from an invigorating midnight swim through Arctic waters.

We're Living Brave New World, Not 1984 Orwell feared those who would ban books. Huxley feared that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Huxley's prophecy is closer to modern dystopia.

"Orwell feared those who would ban books. Huxley feared that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one...he feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism." - Neil Postman.

This image shows a stunning small bird with iridescent emerald green feathers covering its body and a brilliant blue crown on its head. It has a straight white beak, dark wings, and a tiny white patch near its chest. The bird is perched on a slender twig and photographed in perfect detail against a soft green background, highlighting its jewel-like plumage and delicate features. The feathers have a scale-like appearance that captures light beautifully, giving the bird a gemstone-like quality.

US rallies on NZ TV

Great to see the US rallies get coverage on NZ television.

It’s unfair to ask for more, but I wish rather than the focus or framing be the tariffs, the presenter might have read a sample of the long list of activities that are disconcerting.

Trump's highest tariff will kill tiny African kingdom of Lesotho, economist says β€” Reuters A 50% reciprocal trade tariff on Lesotho, the highest levy on U.S. President Donald Trump's long list of target economies, will kill the tiny Southern African kingdom that Trump ridiculed last month, ...

Lesotho, which Trump described in March as a country "nobody has ever heard of", is one of the world's poorest nations with a gross domestic product of just over $2 billion. What Trump is doing is just cruel.

Turns out the worldβ€˜s richest man is just not that popular, maybe that would change if he gave money to things like childhood cancer research instead of cutting it
