iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Mōrena friends. If you didn't catch it yesterday, here's a follow-up story to something I wrote earlier, partly inspired by Nicky Hager's new book. I’ve left uncensored language to show the character of some of the people I'm talking about. the-end-is-naenae.ghost.io/first-do-no-...

the-end-is-naenae.ghost.io

First do no harm

A troubling tale has a troubling sequel. Be aware some of the language quoted in this post is offensive. I’ve left it uncensored because I want readers to make their own judgements about the character...

I regret that I have only two votes to give (both Green).

I’m equivocal about Curia polls. On one hand Farrar is an utter scrote, but on the other generally the results are in line with others. Until…a friend who is politically astute was rung for a poll a week ago. They were taken aback at how overtly and blatantly pro-Act it was. Nah, fuck’em.

“Look, don’t play games with me, sunshine. You’re misquoting me, and you know it.” Unless the questioner is Kim Hill and he wets himself.

ACT getting 5x as much in donations as the Green party but still polling at about 2/3 of the Greens really shows how hard right wingers have to work for people to actually like them. Imagine if a left wing party had that kind of money. Imagine if right wingers couldn't splurge money like that.

The veil between the employed and the unemployed is very thin. Do you want to be treated with dignity? Don’t vote for National #nzpol

#NZpol This scumbag govt doesn't get people as actual human beings. And the poorest? Ah. Mere line items. "Errors" on a spreadsheet mucking up the look of self-serving KPIs. It's ALL deliberate because WE KNOW this DOESN'T FUCKING WORK and *THEY KNOW* WE KNOW IT DOESN'T — but THEY'LL DO IT ANYWAY.

We’ve all been there. You’re stumbling home drunk and you have to nip into the bushes because you’re busting for a weave.

A flax or harekeke bush that’s had one of its long leaves weaved into a circular mesh about the size of a tea saucer.

Am I right in surmising that Louise Upston is a vile piece of shit? “We acknowledge that children that grow up in welfare-dependant households do worse. So we’ll take $24 a week off their parents.” No carrots for you - just sticks.

Okay, one last time. 'THERE' refers to a place, 'THEY'RE' means 'they are' and 'THEIR' is a possessive adjective. It’s not difficult, for crying out load.

It’s a tease, because it’s out of stock and you would have to visit anyway, but: www.schoc.co.nz?s=Hot+chocol... You would really, really, really love this.

As an aside: the Lady In The Van disappeared from his drive for a short period and Bennett thinks she moved to the West Country. I’m sure it was her I saw regularly in Bath, where I then lived, sitting in a wheelchair moving herself around by her feet.

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.
