Calling my name

Into my arms
I got you singing in my soul

30. Sinéad O'Connor - Danny Boy 🇮🇪

🎶 Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide

Sad that Labour is no longer a credible socialist Party. Continually aiming to the right to win votes is a pathetic and ultimately self destructive strategy 😒
#LabourNZ cannot be the party that that is sees working people losing even more jobs, or earning less than the minimum wage, or losing public services, as the price the we must pay for increased GDP that is kept mainly by high income earners and international corporations.

It's a dealbreaker.
"Edmonds said growing the economy and balancing the books would mean Labour couldn't say 'yes' to everything."

"I make no apology for that - responsibility must always come first."

Labour's new campaign slogan is "We can't do this" #nzpol

29. Zozimus & Zimmerman were born to sing
Like two old buskers down at Puck Fair in Killorglin

🎶 The lights went down & the crowd went cat melodeon
Some singers rest on their laurels But when Kings Queens & Laureates came calling Zimmerman still had lots o gigs to do

28. Spandau Ballet

🎶 In the music of the parade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades...

Born on different sides of life
We feel the same and feel all of this strife...

So come to me when I'm asleep
We'll cross the line
And dance upon the street

The tiny hobbit can say “big mess” so now we are working on the word “capitalism”. They talk about sleep deprivation, school drop offs, endless snack supply running but they don’t talk about how hilarious it is when a 2 year old says: captilim is beeee mess

27. Salmonella Dub - For the love of it 🇳🇿 💚

🎶 Simplification of skank beat
Free stylin' ourselves while we jam
Stripping it back to the roots, version...
We move to the music
Pushing and pulling ourselves
Feeling the drum and bass
That's why we do what we do

Oh, and yeah this is a direct attack on ECAN etc who had local bills establishing Māori representation that the Government couldn't constitutionally undo. By abolishing ECAN, they undo the Māori representation because it doesn't exist any more. Nasty.

It’s hard not to believe that Luxon’s move to dump regional councils isn’t just another way to remove obstacles to rampant corporate profit making at our expense.

More emissions, more pollution more contaminated drinking water, more intensive dairy, more roads and less accountability.

24 Paul Kelly – how to make gravy

🎶And later in the evening, I can just imagine,
You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back
And you'll dance with Rita, I know you really like her,
Just don't hold her too close, oh brother please don't stab me in the back

24. Tom Petty - Into the great wide open

They made a record and it went in the charts

Popularity due in a big part to medical misogyny? Casual misogyny is every where. Even in this headline. How hard is it to say "linked to deaths"? Shall we just ignore birthing danger to women?

This 'free birth society' is dicing with death & disablement of women and babies - and all for the money.
Influencers made millions pushing ‘wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world

It's getting impossible to stop tech companies forcing AI on to us.

New phones and computers have AI integrated in them, new/updated software won't let you disable AI, search engines use it and devices listen to you
Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI
When the people making AI seem trustworthy are the ones who trust it the least, it shows that incentives for speed are overtaking safety, experts say

If they don't record it (e.g. family violence), they can't count it. Easy.
RNZ Anneke Smith article is a National Party PR puff piece. Where is opposition comment?

“Coalition lauds 38k fewer victims of violent crime.”

When Luxon came into Govt they changed victimisation stats removing domestic & MH call-outs.

No one truly believes crime is down here do they? #nzpol
