"If we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment” Umberto Eco

If Mark Carney is right and the rules-based order is gone, where are we as a nation? New Zealand was an actor in the creation of the post-war consensus, but it's hard to imagine a leadership less fit to meet the moment than the current lot.

This makes an interesting read. Denmark sold the USA Epstein Island back in 1917 on the basis that Greenland would be left alone forever. So there is already a treaty that prevents Trump from doing what he is wanting to do… it was dealt with 109 years ago!

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.
Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

What do Taupō, Wanaka, Cromwell and Alexandra have in common?
If the NZ government imposed a 100 mile border zone within which you could be targeted by a border control force, these are the only sizeable settlements where you’d be safe (according to te interwebs anyway).

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

Today I learned that the only country where Brian Eno’s Another Green World met with contemporary chart success was NZ 😊
I also learned that soon it will be harder for Commonwealth residents with dual citizenship to gain entry to the UK than single citizenship residents of those countries. WTF 🤷?
