This is terrible analysis, all about framing and how politicians pitch themselves to journalists rather than whether the politician has anything to say about the issues of the moment - in other words, standard Karvelas

ANALYSIS: Shoebridge to woo same angry voters as One Nation — but from the left
David Shoebridge wants to hold Labor's feet to the fire. He will be a thorn in Labor's side rather than a deal maker.

Eric Stoltz is 64. In a rather cruel example of history repeating itself, Stoltz was fired from The Big Lebowski as he had been from Back to the Future. This is the only remaining footage of him as The Dude.

The Cornell rapists. Not one is trans. Not one is a drag queen. Not one is an immigrant. Not one identifies as a radical feminist, a radical Muslim or a radical leftist. But those are the people we’re supposed to be afraid of?

Luxon is toast and it will be fascinating to see what the next NZ government looks like, particularly if standard hack Hipkins assumes he will just cruise up and become PM again

Three times over the past two days I've spoken with clean tech companies who unprompted shared how difficult it is to raise any money in Australia right now. Capital markets are directing everything to AI and datacentres, meaning clean industrial projects we need are struggling to get to FID.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

What is the purpose of the six-sided dome above Old North’s pulpit? This structure is known as a sounding board. It’s hollow inside and helps to amplify sound, which was a huge help before the advent of the microphone!

The Cornell 7 we’re all talking about? That story was broken in the work of Cereese Qusba, who is a reporter at The Ithaca Voice and a news editor at The Cornell Daily Sun, two independent newspapers. She is still herself, a student at Cornell University.
