Counterpoint: This is mad confusing because it is garbage made with AI and few of the birds look much like the birds they look like. Here’s a thought: instead of sharing this, maybe share art made by a human? One who needs it for their livelihood? www.tworuru.com/product/aote...

sorry mr luxon what the fuck
We don’t want a conflict because we actually think a conflict is bad for the people who are going to suffer in a conflict. But equally, it also now flows through very strongly to economic prosperity.”

David Seymour, despite his many, many (many) failings, did manage to bring people back into the Wellington CBD.

I guess it has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to endorse Harris for president wapo.st/3UqHWRM
The Washington Post is not bothering to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. (Jeff Bezos, the founder of Blue Origin and the founder and executive chairman of Amazon and Amazon Web Services, also owns The Post.) We as a newspaper suddenly remembered, less than two weeks before the election, that we had a robust tradition 50 years ago of not telling anyone what to do with their vote for president. It is time we got back to those “roots,” I’m told! Roots are important, of course. As recently as the 1970s, The Post did not endorse a candidate for president. As recently as centuries ago, there was no Post and the country had a king! Go even further back, and the entire continent of North America was totally uninhabitable, and we were all spineless creatures who lived in the ocean, and certainly there were no Post subscribers. But if I were the paper, I would be a little embarrassed that it has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to make our presidential endorsement. I will spare you the suspense: I am endorsing Kamala Harris for president, because I like elections and want to keep having them. Let me tell you something. I am having a baby (It’s a boy!), and he is expected on Jan. 6, 2025 (It’s a … Proud Boy?). This is either slightly funny or not at all funny. This whole election, I have been lurching around, increasingly heavily pregnant, nauseated, unwieldy, full of the commingled hopes and terrors that come every time you are on the verge of introducing a new person to the world. Well, that world will look very different, depending on the outcome of November’s election, and I care which world my kid gets born into. I also live here myself. And I happen to care about the people who are already here, in this world. Come to think of it, I have a lot of reasons for caring how the election goes. I think it should be obvious that this is not an election for sitting out. The case for Donald Trump is “I erroneously think the economy used to be better? I know that he has made many ominous-sounding threats about mass deportations, going after his political enemies, shutting down the speech of those who disagree with him (especially media outlets), and that he wants to make things worse for almost every category of person — people with wombs, immigrants, transgender people, journalists, protesters, people of color — but … maybe he’ll forget.” “But maybe he’ll forget” is not enough to hang a country on! Embarrassingly enough, I like this country. But everything good about it has been the product of centuries of people who had no reason to hope for better but chose to believe that better things were possible, clawing their way uphill — protesting, marching, voting, and, yes, doing the work of journalism — to build this fragile thing called democracy. But to be fragile is not the same as to be perishable, as G.K. Chesterton wrote. Simply do not break a glass, and it will last a thousand years. Smash it, and it will not last an instant. Democracy is like that: fragile, but only if you shatter it. Trust is like that, too, as newspapers know. I’m just a humor columnist. I only know what’s happening because our actual journalists are out there reporting, knowing that their editors have their backs, that there’s no one too powerful to report on, that we would never pull a punch out of fear. That’s what our readers deserve and expect: that we are saying what we really think, reporting what we really see; that if we think Trump should not return to the White House and Harris would make a fine president, we’re going to be able to say so. That’s why I, the humor columnist, am endorsing Kamala Harris by myself!

You are in the hills about TETLEY, MARLBOROUGH, a small New Zealand town that is perfectly normal. There is a black pyramid floating slightly off the ground. The engraving at its base says "Funding provided by the Rotary Club". The wind is warm and dry. The pyramid hums and the hum hurts.

Fun fact: The earth was named after Eartha Kitt in 1967. Before then, it had no proper name, or was referred to casually in conversation as "the orb"

I don't mind "Business Confidence" being wheeled out every few weeks, it's just one of many bullshit faux data metrics the media need to make their sausages, I just wish more of the working class understood it as "this is how upbeat the boot stomping on my face feels right now"

In my dreams, I find myself pursued. Stalked down dim hallways by a Thing I cannot name. “You were meant to better the world,” it snarls, “To speak Truth to Power.” I wake to bitter tears drying on my cheek, mourning something important that I’ve lost. Here’s why that’s bad news for the Democrats:

shit like this is why I can't give up tumblr
Tumblr post from @cellobuster: Sonic the Hedgehog (sustained speed of 767 MPH) could have made the journey from the Shire to Mount Doom (1718.5 miles) in just over two hours. But also he famously loves rings, so he almost assuredly would have found the thrall of the Ring far too powerful to resist. Tails would have had to shoot him

Tell me a dream that you unabashedly hate. You aren’t allowed to say Cold Swamp Escape, The Rotting Wind, or Everyone Is Facing Away From Me. You gotta put yourself at risk of being canceled here.

NIMBYs find a new super-power: covenants. Treasury tells Govt to choose lower interest rates & high land values over healthier people, which National & Labour are fine with because they want the size of Govt to stay under 30% of GDP to make home owners richer. thekaka.substack.com/p/how-covena...
How covenants trumped density in court
NIMBYs use covenants in 2009 sub-division rules to block 10 homes on 10 new sections in the Nelson Lakes; Court rules covenants give owners extra property rights to keep their alpine views
