Did Luxon just say “eco chamber” when he meant “echo chamber?”

Leaders’ debate; we know Luxon can’t follow a script so I’m looking forward to the word salad, mispronounced words and blank looks when he’s asked for numbers. Might do shots when these happen. I’ll be drunk by 7.30.

In the early 1980’s I got a job door knocking for an encyclopaedia company. My Field Manager would drive us out to work and I’d make appointments he would follow the next evening. His name was Paul Hopes. He’s now known as Paul Henry. True story.

I have written many lists of what I would do if I won Lotto. Moving into social housing has never been on any of my lists. What is Willis thinking?

If you can, I strongly urge you switch to an EV. Bought my first one in 2018, loved it so much I asked for a job at the company. Still work there, and now on my third one. My power bill went down. My maintenance has been tyres, 12V battery and windscreen wipers. That's it in 8 years.

I left a difficult marriage. Alcoholic, violent, abusive in other ways. Awful co-parent relationshiip. I never said anything publicly that woud have hurt my daughter. I definitely said stuff to my counsellor, my friends and family, but never anything that would cause her further hurt or trauma.

Thank you Secret Santa. My gift arrived early and I forgot to post about it (recent surgery so not on my game). Mrs Christmas Gingerbread Lady is fiercely protecting it from little fingers wanting to see what’s inside. I can’t wait to open it! It’s heavy and interesting 🎄🧑‍🎄🔔🎁💝

Today I am having refractive lens surgery. Under a local anaesthetic, my corneas are removed and replaced with glass lenses. I have requested "top shelf" sedatives. Please put me in a K-hole. They said they cant dope me up too much because I have to stay awake. I want to be comfortably numb.

Currently in USA visiting my niece. 7 ½ year old g-nephew fell off his bike and needed stitches in his forehead. The hospital bill for 4 hours stay will total around US$40K With deductibles they will pay around $4K. I don’t know who was crying more - my niece or her son. Vote accordingly friends.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Northcote shops had a public toilet with a hole drilled between then men’s and ladies toilet. One day I looked through and saw an eyeball. I followed the guy, knew where he lived, told the cops and they said “but you looked too.” I was 11. I had no interest Is looking at men pee. Nothing’s changed.

It is not against the law to record women having sex with you without their consent, to follow them in a supermarket photographing them without their knowledge, to zoom in on their butts or crotches in the gym. Until we address this violation of women we will never feel safe. We choose the bear.

Paragraph describing why recording and photographing women without their consent does not break the law. From Stuff article “PM’s press secretary ‘recorded sex workers without consent” by Paula Penfold.

Predatory, sick men who take intimate pictures of women for their perverted gratification. Bryce Taylor photographed Princess Diana’s crotch for money. Dom Harvey screen shot Chrystal Chenery’s crotch for shits and giggles, and Michael Forbes - just stop. Women’s bodies are not yours to abuse.

New linen and Twiggy the cat has found a new snuggle spot. I went to rearrange the pillows and wondered why one was 2kg heavier than the other.

Twiggy is a rescue cat from Dubai, hiding inside a pillow case on a bed with new linen. She peeps out from the pillow case opening.

A close up or Twiggy’s face as she snuggles inside the pillow case.

Libelle employs 500 staff. They were a leading provider of nutritious food to schools before Seymour took over and reduced their contract so Compass could have it. Imagine this family business, now in liquidation, listening to Seymour, who never supported it, shit talk about its success.

I totally underestimated David Seymour. I always thought him to be incompetent, ambivalent and arrogant, but he’s gone beyond my expectations and I now think he’s devoid of any true human connection. He’s just doesn’t care. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

School lunch critics ‘nitpicking’ over 13,500 late meals, David Seymour says

The Associate Minister of Education defends the government’s under-fire programme, saying 99% to 100% of school lunches are delivered on time most days.
