Leaving one’s ship in the area seems a silly idea

You can’t park there sir.

No!

Donnie has no respect for the Constitution, or women or Epstein’s victims or the way the war and Iran will make millions suffer across America and the globe or…… the list goes on and on of those who have been hurt by this Maga tyrant.

Totally!

Looking at the homepage of all of our news organisations, you'd be excused to think that war is happening on a different planet, and its effects are limited to costly/inconvenient supply chain disruptions. It's like we're not living through history. (See also: muted, cowardly coverage of Gaza.)

It really is! Came home with spirits well & truly lifted. Isn't it wonderful to have friends like that?

Interislander sailing cancelled after technical fault found A single return sailing had to be cancelled on the Kaiārahi ferry after an intermittent technical fault was discovered just hours before a scheduled maintenance layby.

Interislander is down to one operational ferry for several days.
Gee , if only we had a couple of brand new ferries and handling facilities by now....

How would we expect this govt to ‘fix the economy’ when their ideas to solve the fuel crisis include re-introducing a policy from 1979 that was ineffective #nzpol #crational #red26 #lyingluxon

LinkedIn post by the (for the moment) PM of New Zealand, Chris Luxon, attending a lunch at the North Shore Business Association. His post reads (I kid you not), ‘ Business confidence is at the highest level in over a decade - and when businesses are growing, they hire more people and increase wages. I spent time with hundreds of businesses on Auckland’s North Shore today. I know it’s still tough out there and there’s always more to do, but it was great to hear how they feel the economy is turning a corner and how that’s translating into more opportunities for Kiwis in the region.’

Oh my, he really does think everything is look up, green shoots and all that. He is with his people I guess in this safe setting. Wonder if he’d get the same response at the Watties factory closing down luncheon #NZPol

I cannot tell you how much my respect would go up for Luxon and National if they recognised the new situation and went all out for domestic solar and renewables now.

There is political cover from the middle east energy shock

It's only really ego and insecurity that stands in the way. #nzpol

Morning.

A bright green moss bryophyte growing as a loose patch on damp soil and decaying wood beside a woodland stream. The shoots rise upright in small clusters, each bearing rounded oval leaves that spread like tiny spoons around the stem. Individual leaves are only a few millimetres across and appear glossy with water droplets. Several darker stalks with developing capsules (sporophytes) are visible among the leaves, hinting at the “dotted” appearance that gives Dotted Thyme-moss (Rhizomnium punctatum) its common name. The surrounding scene includes other mosses, small woodland plants, and mossy wet leaf litter in a shaded Devon woodland.

Dotted Thyme-moss (Rhizomnium punctatum) starting to live up to its name, the leaves dotted with dark capsules.

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

The United States needs some therapy…it’s called IMPEACHMENT!!!

Fetterman doesn’t even give a shit about the kids in Iran. Let that in for a second.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

AI cover image a bit deceptive given the prototype actually looks like this though.

Beneficiary numbers soar to 12-year high despite government's reduction promise Louise Upston vowed to "curb the surge in welfare dependency" after taking office, but the numbers are now the highest since at least 2013.

Useless government.

CNN reports that the US "hit the school" in Iran based on the defence intelligence's "outdated reconnaissance data" (2013-2016-2026).

How is the Epstein avoidance war going?

Bitten off more than he can chew comes to mind.

Bombing Nigeria was cost-free. Picking up Maduro was a cake walk. So, Trump probably thought the same about his short, little "excursion" in Iran.

So far, not working out that way.
