Beautiful day for a quick #BeachWalk
Blue sky over a green-blue sea with hmm Island in the middle. In the foreground are sand dunes covered in succulents and yellow lupins. A sandy path leads through the middle.

Have you ever picked up a rock from a beach or river and it fits your hand perfectly and just feels right?

My Kāpiti Island rock.
A triangular rock sitting on top of a wooden post. In the background is a similarly shaped island. Yellow lupin flowers and grasses surround the post.

‪Après Lui, le Déluge

Donald quarante-sept thought the East Wing would be his Versailles, but after voters stormed the polls last night, it could be le fin for his Grand Siècle. Is JD short enough to play Napoleon? One thing's for sure: he won't go to war with Russia.

ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur
Big text at the top says "ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur" This is followed by four consecutive drawings that are exactly of that. Grover is a man in his underwear with no ears and large bulbous eyes. A textbox says "this is what you wanted" Cookie monster is a large man with a small head, also in his underwear, with his eyes erupting from the top of his head. An accompanying text box says "you asked for this." Grover is a slouched, pale man with a wide head and wideset eyes, and a nose like a snake, he may be nude but it's unclear, since his waist is off screen. "Your desire for knowledge led you to this point" Elmo is a thin man in underwear, with eyes jutting from the top of his head and a bulbous nose. He has another face coming out of his chest. "ask yourself if you really needed everything answered."

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants
