Chris Luxon is so shit at the job it's causing people to misremember Chris Hipkins as someone who actually did things. Like calling a Tortoise fast because you're comparing it to a rock.

Even if this is true to some extent, do you think the current mass starvation is justified as an alternative?

this is a good time for me to announce that last weekend i saw someone return a hazy IPA to the bar for being too hazy.

Imagine how good it feels to be a chimp with a cigarette. Skipping eons of evolution and industry with one promethean drag

Old tweet from Jon Stone which reads "One reason people insist that you use the proper channels to change things is because they have control of the proper channels and they’re confident it won’t work"

Always remember:

She got a "majority" under MMP, what more do you want??

I'm ignorant. What does this mean? You have to repay a higher percentage of your wages if you have a loan above $24,128? I have no idea what percentage I'm paying now.

Mockup of my leader lady enamel pin design, showing a brunette white woman surrounded by blocks of color and grayscale, on a single 35mm film frame.

My photo of the real leader lady on a backlit film frame, magnified under a loupe.

Ok my Leader Lady enamel pin is now up for preorder! It's currently being printed at the factory, and should be shipping out in mid- to late-June. The X's in the mock-up mean those holes will be punched out just like real perfs which I think is gonna look neat!

such a beautiful family

And you can find them all here

Film Comment went 17 years before asking a woman her guilty pleasures?!

Ah, and this is where you explain the scene with the documents pinned to a wall

I know this specific shame

Crossing my fingers and hoping my long-held "the stock market isn't real" theory is true.

I predict neither of them will rise to the occasion

Imagine being the 50yr old NZ First intern that has to explain Bussy to Winston Peters

And yet we don't have a supermarket open after 11pm weirdly

I have given birth to a lovely baby boy named Pleistoanax Deckard. I will not be revealing the father at this time.

hard to believe that our public institutions are suddenly behaving in a manner that many many people have been warning is the logical endpoint of a capitalist government for a hundred years

There is something deeply wrong with our country when a young man who knows no other home than this is kicked out, but ‘golden visa’ investors can gain residency with money & a mere 21 days presence over three years.

New poll shows centre-left with enough support to govern The Talbot Mills corporate poll has Labour’s support at 34%, overtaking National on 33%, with Chris Hipkins taking out the top spot as preferred PM.

Hipkins: “Wow. I should do, like, one day’s work in opposition more often!”

In retrospect you can sometimes see traces in someones work that give pause, but I think people get caught up in retrospective analysis to an almost conspiratorial degree. Not everything is a roman-à-clef, some things are just made up regardless if the author themself is good or bad.

Watching the shop for a few hours, come in and rent a movie

What is even VFF's thing these days? There are no mandates to rail against

Trains are a gateway drug to more embarrassing mechanical hobbies like clocks, and film projectors

absolute cottage industry of media hacks trying to justify why falling Wellington cafe revenues has nothing to do with the largest employer in town firing 7000 people

I still can't believe that the guy who had this built went down in it himself

I just think it sucks BIG TIME that I can't go out to the multiplex and watch a half baked murder mystery where two hot actors have three or four modestly horny sex scenes each and every week. I think if we brought this back it might save the world.

You look great!
