Brian Tamaki's gang-like cult today disrupted a Sikh community event in Manurewa today - Destiny Church is the biggest threat in this country and we need to start actively confronting them.

Since, AFAIK, it isn't probed by New Zealand media or critically raised elsewhere incl. in parliament, it will never cease to surprise me how the Foreign Minister esp., & others in Govt willingly appear on a far-right podcast platform that promotes, & normalises ChCh terrorist's violent extremism.

YouTube is feeding me AI slop of Nicola Willis selling something financial (I checked out on immediate recognition of AI slop).
Is this not the most damning proof that AI is garbage? Who the fuck would take financial advice from this bumbling idiot?

I wrote about the incredible career of Rob Reiner, why MISERY is a demonic mirror of THE PRINCESS BRIDE, and more.

Some of my earliest exposure to comedy was my parents watching All In The Family. Rob Reiner’s performance was foundational. It shocked me when I figured out he was also the director of all these amazing films. One of the first times I understood artists could do and be whatever they wanted

Some have let down Duffy and Foulkes today. Foulkes especially looked gassed. That said, love a short stint at the top order before stumps!
2 down and still a deficit is NZ with a nose in front. Absolutely have to make inroads before lunch tomorrow, or it could turn like milk.

Sucks for Tickner with a shot at 5fa. Double blow for Latham having to try and win with a bowler short too.

We look worryingly thin on depth in this test. Losing the toss today looks like an instant L.
Credit to the WI bowlers. Very good today without having to doing anything too flashy.
