Our inbox has been filled with images of glowing clouds in the early morning sky.

These clouds are exhaust gases from a rocket launched from the Mahia Peninsula.

As the gases are high in the atmosphere, they are illuminated by the rising sun giving them their glowing quality.

Dear Noo Zealand,

Just a timely reminder that it's OK to choose a political leader who's not named Chris... #nzpol

Simeon Brown tells young jobseekers to “get a paper run” on RNZ this morning 🙀

He is so out of touch, he thinks neighbourhoods still get a daily newspaper delivered

I wish NZ Labour could understand they can make bold, daring, (controversial even!) statements about future direction without releasing detailed policy.

And when the Right demand policy, refuse and reiterate your point and use it to attack their failures harder.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.

It’s ironic that this happens the day after the Luxon Govt announced it will make the climate crisis worse by letting the dairy industry off the hook for its superheating methane emissions.

What an unabating trend 😳

More waves crashing on the sandcastles of hopium. I'm famously pessimistic, but the data continues to surprise me to the downside. It's relentless. We've not seen anything like this for 45 years. Compounding, mutually reinforcing, job-killing dynamics. (1/2)

Same data but just for September months. Completely unnecessary self flagellation. It's like all the lessons learned on the need for fiscal kick-starts are being roundly ignored. Small island, housing ponzi, rogergnomics, 8-wire, whip the poor exceptionalism. (2/2)
