To expand on that. If you live in the USA you are collectively responsible for the political situation you are in.

All of you.

Now this is cool.

Overseas comedian making a joke about Kiwis not having a chant.

Then someone in the audience sings out Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi and the whole audience shouts Hi aue hei in response.

So the comedian tries to learn it.

Good vibes, real kiwis.

Kiwi crowd schools US comedian

Visiting US stand-up Jeff Arcuri expressed his surprise that there were no New Zealand chants - his fans quickly put him right.

When I was backpacking around the world back in the 80's this was one of my favorite tapes that lived in my bag, with Decade by Neil Young.

Sounded awesome through my akai walkman and headphones.

—how can one think that, with a little bit of education toward international understanding and a bit of “’goodwill,’ these demons can be exorcised, these forces can be banished?”

“How can one close one’s eyes here to the fact that the demons themselves have taken control of the world, that it is the forces of darkness that here gruesomely conspire and can burst forth at any moment

There were more than 20 internal plots to kill Hitler.

It was surprising that none of them worked as they were well thought out.

They saw the problem long before

Writing in 1932, Bonhoffer decried the situation on the ground:

Were you turning left at the first exit? Otherwise isn't the right indicator mean to be on?

Gary @netchicken1.bsky.social · 1d

That deserves more than one like.

Thats so wrong, some kid is going to break something if they hit it.At least a flag on the cable so people can see it is needed.

And a leadership change. Otherwise they will just rearm seek revenge.

This is so funny. Coming towards some degree of self realisation.

Obviously you were painting on a very hot day and the vase started melting

Now that's just great.

Not only have we had some shitty years to deal with, apparently the entire universe is on the edge of destruction.

The whole concept of voting for Maori wards is wrong.

It's a treaty issue. Not a dominant culture vrs a minority culture.

We are lucky that any survived.

What dom culture would allow a minority culture to have a day in how it operates?

The strong pro Maori identification is our salvation.

That looks like stone it is under? Or is it packed mud?

I see stuff back to about 2011. My pws have changed considerably since then.

But this also means you can put ANYONES email address in and find out which DB the password is on, then go and get it.

Lots of noise but not much forward movement. 😄

Maybe data is plural but I think it should be this. This collective.

This bunch of bananas.

The Port hills were alive with people this morning all admiring the views, cycling, walking, running.

Greatest outcome of the quakes was making the summit road no exit. Such a beautiful quiet place now.

It's 26.6 degrees in Christchurch!

Been outside in the sun lopping trees, and need some time away from the heat.

I love global warming.

If you keep on driving then apart from any technical changes in the road code, I can't see any reason to have your driving assessed.
