Respecting another human’s dignity should be the base threshold. Easy. What in the twilight zone is this
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

Lemon Pavlova
Ever since my first pav in How To Eat, I have been something of a pavaholic. For me, acidity is key. So naturally, a lemon pavlova made perfect sense.
You will note there are a lot of flaked almonds ...

Free comms advice, if Jack Tame starts your interview with an open-ended question and lets you blather on until you've run out of your talking points, you are in SO much trouble
Also the only arguments Seymour has are "it's hard to be a property developer" and "I don't like kids learning te reo"

Seeing David Seymour crap the bed on Q&A and the All Blacks get behind the Hīkoi message, and how much it’s causing NZ alt right wing sycophants melt down has really made this Sunday quite enjoyable.
