Archaeology, banjos, Taitokerau, preschoolers and teens, lack of executive function, second chances, mental exhaustion, well-toasted bread, banjos. Not the real-life Indiana Jones, more a dwarfish sort of Evelyn O'Connell

Hi to new followers. I am Jono, a 48 year old consultant archaeologist/para-historian in Taitokerau, northern Aotearoa-New Zealand. Once divorced father of three boys 17, 13, 4, partner to Dr Marine Biologist who is now retraining in MRI. Owns four banjos. Lives by the beach. Grumpy old socialist.

Ben, any idea what the actual substance is here? Is it a Stop the Steal move because specials are going to break for Snow Tane or something?

Naked normie butts. They are A-Ok with bubble butts in secret but actual flawed human bodies freak them mouth because it's an offence against the facist aesthetic.

I watched the invasion start in a bar in Pagopago, and the locals were up for it. The lead up I was in New Mexico working with an otherwise progressive cohort of Forest Service archaeologists but the three guys on the crew were totally sold on war.

As a foreigner living in the US in 2002 and early 2003 watching the consent manufacturing machine was wild.

I don't think I've seen a network TV news report more transparently full of shit since maybe 2003, right before we invaded Iraq

Frankly insane turnout in the Wairoa ward and hopefully the specials from Tane's heartland will push him past creepy Larsen. I love Mangawhai but the Mangawhai-Kaiwaka mafia with their stale pale male kaupapa shouldn't be running the Kaipara
Kaipara bucks trend with one of NZ’s highest voter turnouts
Kaipara’s preliminary turnout hit 57.4%, well above the 38% national average.

Yeah but their catalogue front end is a POS. Like truly awful, and none of the promises to fix issues have happened since Archway was replaced.

My dad learnt to cook from his uncle, a chef on steamers, with whom he was sent to live as a child during the Depression. His life in food was, in part, a reaction against a distant mother who couldn't cook. He did weddings and other functions and could whip up a thousand scones without blinking.

What a little bitch.
There’s a major climate summit in Christchurch but the minister’s party won’t let him go
Climate Minister Simon Watts had been due to deliver the closing address at the global Adaptation Futures Conference, but National Party whips refused his leave from Parliament.
