I'll be relatively sanguine about whatever government we get as long as this slimy little man loses his seat.
Chris Hipkins wants you to imagine his "first week as Prime Minister.”
Kiwis don't have to imagine. We lived through 44 of them.
Prices through the roof, an economy going backwards, and promises that never arrived.
We've seen this movie before. It doesn't need a sequel.
Voting is now open.
Party Vote National to stick to the plan that’s working and to avoid Labour and their mates’ 9 new taxes.
Erin Foster, who has been Jewish for all of five minutes, being breathtakingly condescending about Detroit Ashkenazi Adam Brody's support for Palestine.
“Nobody Wants This” creator Erin Foster has responded to Adam Brody‘s support for Palestine, saying: “I disagree with him, and that’s OK.”
“You know, it’s complicated,” Foster said of Brody’s comments. “I think our work environment, our set is very similar to dinner tables around the world where people are having debate and discussion and disagreeing. And, you know, while I love Adam, I also disagree with him, and that’s OK.”
“[I want] our Jewish fans to know that I see you and I hear you and I understand how you feel. The show has always been and always will be a love letter to Judaism. That is why I made this show. It’s because of how beautiful of an experience I’ve had becoming Jewish and being a Jewish person. And sitting here right now, at this time in the world when there is almost zero positive representation of Jewish people, I think it’s so important to have that. Everyone is entitled to a different opinion. I can just tell you what I created this show for, and what the intention of the show is.”

1. Condé Nast's very expensive legal team would have vetted this to within an inch of its life.
2. Go ahead, sue. Disclosure is a bitch.
.@VanityFair posted an excerpt from a book containing outrageous and categorically false allegations.
The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened. We denied every one of these claims on the record, yet the author failed to provide a single shred of evidence to substantiate any of them. No bank statements, wire transfer records, account numbers, transaction dates, or other verifiable details were provided to support these extraordinary accusations.
During the period in question, I was one of the most scrutinized people in the world, subjected to intense media coverage, multiple congressional investigations, and a special counsel investigation. I voluntarily cooperated with these investigations, providing over 30 hours of testimony. None of these allegations ever surfaced, because none of these events ever happened.
These are outrageous fabrications being presented as investigative journalism. This is not journalism. It is a mixture of fantasy, fiction, and advocacy, written by someone who is either deeply disturbed or acting with sinister intent.
It is said that if you wait by the riverbend long enough, you will eventually see the corpse of Taika Waititi's career floating down the river past you.
So either the Dems cancel all of his government contracts, conceivably with prison time, or he flees to Russia and falls out of a window, or some unspecified accident that may or may not have something to do with Ukraine.

Dear America, please know that we do want you back, and most bridges can be mended, but that your President has damaged the old bonds of the Western Alliance so badly that there will never be the same level of trust or respect ever again. Too many bad actors, too much power.
To be honest, the idea that Opportunity would be part of a left-centre left coalition is hopium. It's an anode pop-up party now, funded by teal-curious millionaires to attract centrists from Labour so Luxon change his mind after the election and shore up his own coalition.
Former Opportunity Party insiders, including two former board members, have alleged a “toxic” and divided internal culture in the lead up to this year’s election.
Read their claims, and the party’s response at @nzherald
I really don't think you have to be that much of a genius to see that Brian Cartmell got into TOP so that he could have a pop-up party to shore up a right-wing coalition. Luxon doth protest too much and all teal parties are Trojan horses. #nzpol
As a rule of thumb, when two sovereign states are fighting a war of attrition, one of them for their very existence, don't paint a target on yourself.

Imagine thinking you know more about storytelling than Bradbury. He wasn’t mad Linus was “disillusioned.” He thought Great Pumpkin violated the covenant of wonder, that you don’t build longing for magic and then use it to scold the audience and make a joke at a child’s expense.
Ray Bradbury initially wrote The Halloween Tree with Chuck Jones in 1967 because he was disappointed in It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and buddy, Linus being disappointed because he’s deluded himself is the entire freaking point of the Great Pumpkin bit
ALT I thought the Great Pumpkin was just dreadful. So mean. It was dreadfully mean, to anticipate the 'Great Pumpkin' arriving for a half hour and when it was over my kids sat there, and they were depressed. And so was I. I thought it was dreadful of Mr. Schulz not to know that you can't build up this kind of need in people to see the Great Pumpkin, and not have him show up one way or another. It's a shame. I thought he knew better.
lol
