A couple of inquiries into the whole ferry situation might be handy, prior to the election.

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

Of course Luxon pronounces it "new-cue-lar". Of course he does.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk is okay. Abandoning society is okay. Moving into a cave with a family of raccoons is okay. Giving them tiny swords & shields is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.

Right: Let's do genocide
Left: Let's not do genocide
Center: Guys, you're gonna have to compromise, let's just do /some/ genocide
Right: guess can live with that for now
Left: No
Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh

The centrist obsession with "balance" or "impartiality" enables right-wing or oppressive ideas by treating them as equally valid to more progressive policies, essentially giving them a "free pass".

The only reason it’s not falling like a stone is that we don’t look very hard for corruption in AoNZ, because we think it’s about briefcases of cash - when in fact it’s cushy jobs for mates and looking the other way and saying, ‘he’s ok, I went to school with his brother’

New Zealand has shown slow, steady, and "troubling" decline in the corruption perception index score, falling from 91 in 2015 to 81 in 2025.

Tim Murphy’s “omg everyone hates Luxon” piece is so funny bro white bread is up 60%, there’s no jobs, there’s literal shit in the air in the capital city, people responsible for the engines of economy are leaving in droves, no workers rights, no action on climate change, voter suppression 🤷🏽‍♀️
