It would have been nice of Nicky Hager to send an advance copy of "Dirty Work" to Jordan Williams for his comments, but it was never an obligation. Would he have been nice in return? — and who needs to be nice to Jordan Williams?

Paul Henry is a racist dipsh¡t.

A very good demonstration against Winston's absurd Definition of Sex bill. As many as 2000 people there. Not only is sex not the government's to define, but their definition is absurd, making nothing clearer. Submissions close on July 2,

Celebrating the King's birthday with a public holiday is absurd.
1. His birthday is November 14 (1948).
2. Who cares?

"I support your right to be who you are" should go without saying.
And that includes using the public facilities that suit who you are.

Here's my poster for the Hīkoi for Peace this afternoon:

This is crazy. Why TF is Aoteaora importing BUTTER?
I bought it was because it was cheap, but the checkout operator warned me that it is US made and not like our butter. To be sure it looks and acts more like lard and it's strongly flavoured, very salty.

All through my childhood, I couldn't understand the March Hare's remark, "It was the best butter." Wasn't all butter the same? Now I know. This butter certainly wouldn't suit the works of the Mad Hatter's watch.

Kia ora Onslow Kāreti!

We went down to support the Anglican and Catholic clergy who have chained themselves to Nicola Willis' office door to call for sanctions against Israel.

Harpist Carolyn Mills was honoured at her last performancie with the NZSO last night, after 36 years' service.

Proud to be at the pay equity rally at Parliament today.

Appalling then, to hear Winston this evening channeling Tr*mp to declare "war on Woke" and "Make New Zealand first again". What a nasty little man!

A beautiful hīkoi to Parliament this morning to support #TransRights. Over 1000 people, about half trans (but who can tell for sure?) marched from Waitangi park to oppose the Government's ban on puberty blockers, but there we heard painful stories about the delays and faulty treatment young trans people experience under the present regime, while their bodies continued to develop contrary to their identity.

Beautiful support and pōwhiri from Tīwhanawhana. (missing: NZSL interpretation)

Bugger! PayMyPark says it is abolishing parking space numbers in Wellington and making you leave your car to find a meter number (and remember your rego) before you can pay for your parking. In the rain or far from a meter, it was so much more convenient to just peek out the window at the number on the kerb.

Couldn't they just ask you to key in the street name or some such?

And why are they taking the space numbers away? They might well come in handy for something else.

I have coined the word "Ecolypse" for the worldwide climate, ecological and human catastrophe that is now well on its way.

To the commentators (both Paula Bennett and David Cunliffe) who say this was a low blow, Luxon had cited 5 Cabinet Ministers who lost their jobs, and Chippie said that was because he had high standards that they hadn't met.

Humpty repeated his charge, and only then did Chippie say this about an MP who is *still in Parliament*.

For every square metre of the Titan's plan that it presented to the surface, and for every kilometre it descended, a thousand tonnes of water pressed down on it. Crushing it would have taken a fraction of a second, so we can take comfort that they would be dead in an instant.

It's surprising that the sound of the implosion was not heard widely.

Thank goodness our 🇳🇿 insurrectionists were so incompetent!
