It looks like we've finally all got to know Luxon

Needle chart for questions "Christopher Luxon says he is confident Chris Penk acted alone - do you buy it?". The needle is hard to the left with text "Not buying a word".

Nice one!

Luxon in front with meme text "Taking no questions". Behind him we see half of Stanford's head staring straight ahead, with meme text "The press"

If you have any with a somewhat tortured look, there's a place in Huesca, Spain that might take them. Totally weird collection in the cellar of the oldest 'supermarket' in Spain.

These are the basics we should get back to

Press clipping dated May 2nd 1996.
McGillicuddy gets serious on migration
WELLINGTON — A radical new immigration policy would deport all supporters of New Zealand First and encourage migrants from nations with monarchies.The new policy is a departure from the McGillicuddy Serious Party’s previous immigration plan, which was to remove the population of Auckland.Party "spokespersibling" Mark Servian said it was pleased NZ First leader Winston Peters was asking how many people should live in New Zealand."For many years the McGSP has advocated a reduction in New Zealand’s population to two million people," he said."This is the level at which experts believe the medieval-subsistence economy that the McGSP advocates would be workable."The McGillicuddies were now aware that their picking on Auckland could lead to the party being accused of being "locationist"."The McGillicuddy Serious Party will deport everyone who supports NZ First," Mr Servian said.But the party wanted more migrants from Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, and Tonga "as these nationalities will understand and support the stability offered by an indigenous monarchy in the inevitable republican referendum", he said.—NZPA

Cold War Steve does the World Cup as Don Quixote

On a brown grassy hillside with 4 traditional windmills on the ridge is a collection of people. Messi stands over 4 fallen England players and is looking at the arrival of Spanish players Rodrigo and Lamine on a horse and donkey with a lance to which is attached the Spanish flag. To the left stands Infantino taking a selfie, beside Trump who is doing his self pleasuring fist dance, plus a person in a red jacket. bow tie and holding a microphone.

I see the police are now using Mark Mitchell as 'a large security presence'. He's back to being a bouncer.

Headline reads 'Large security presence in Auckland, as Modi meets political, community leaders.' Image below has PM Modi greeting a crowd of people from the NZ Indian community, some wearing turbans. Standing beside him is NZ Police Minister Mark Mitchell with his hands clapsed in front of him.

Matariki brings the first day of the rest of my life. Redundancy yesterday, the future today

Pre-dawn sky with star clusters spread from Orion's on the right to Matariki on the left.

There were 5 of us gathered on the summit of Pukemokemoke this morning to welcome Matariki. Clear and cold. Mānawatia ā Matariki!

Winston sees the homeschool picnic on Parliament grounds and thinks, 'Aha, an occupation, I better get down there quick'.

Winston Peters standing on the steps of parliament, addressing a gathering.

Many dozens of people with young children sitting or standing at a mass picnic on the grass area on parliament grounds.

The algorithm works in mysterious ways

Recommendation on TVNZ for what to watch next. Headline text is "Beacause you watched Q+A with Jack Tame". Underneath are two programme recommendation cards. The left is "Will AI Take My Job?" and the right is "Sense and Sensibility".

Very tacky. This is the state so far

Looking down on the work to paint the Washington DC Reflecting pool blue. The painted parts of the pool are in very uneven striped sections. The tome of blue varies enormously from bery light to very dark. The work looks extremely shoddy.

Also in Stuff - They're eating the Nats, they're eating the PM

Text - Smaller parties who join coalition governments have always been at risk of being subsumed by the larger partner. With six months to go until the election, NZ First seems determined to avoid this, possibly by eating National alive.

Helen Clark on the current government. How shakey is 7th November?

$Screenshot from Stuff - "They're eating each other. It's clear Winston Peters is taking a lot of the National Party's vote right now,“ Clark said. “I couldn't look you in the eye and say I thought the government would last till the seventh of November. They may stagger on but it's going to be increasingly fractious with less and less agreement internally.”$
