Carter's 2019 memoir Dead People I Have Known was so good it gave our editor a complex. "The thing is, Shayne Carter writes like a bitch... he lays his world out lucidly, and with as much innate groove and dynamic and honesty and attitude as his music." #BookReview #pukapuka tinyurl.com/85j9wsah

#nzpol Reminder: John Key said he'd vote for Trump. Judith Collins thinks Trump is fab. Chris Luxon will fawn over him. David Seymour views Trump as his supreme leader. Winston is mercurial. This is not the coalition govt we need to weather America's fickle fascist leadership interventions.

Funny, also every time you look up at the night sky (if you can see it) you are looking at a museum right before your eyes, it goes everywhere around the globe with you, offering different perspectives. The light from V762 Cassiopeiae (farthest star we can wee with our eyes) 16,308 light-years old!

A view of the night sky above Dunedin. This isn't a trick photo, just multiple exposures allowing for the light of the city & the light of the galaxy above. The light from these white clouds are outer edges of our region of the milky way have been travelling to us for hundreds of thousands of years - a museum in the sky
