What got broken then?
Is a big meeting on this weekend? Politically speaking. There has been nothing on TDB The Daily Blog since 13 January. Seems a big lull - it's not a good time for a lullaby! Hope nothing untoward is happening.
Some music for all. Steeleye Span singing something about May in a cheery sort of way, possibly isn't but is toe tapping stuff. Padstow it's called. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOhuGB57FXk
Pretty pictures and plans, very artistic. But people who want to be good citizens are being treated like scum under the present system Ad. If you don' think that is right the present system is wrong, and should be changed speedily for a better one. What ...
Surely that comment Ad doesn't reach the supposed high standard of The Standard? The reference to nationality is egregious surely.
People who have no money for a long time have a propensity to be assholes because they have to fight for absolutely everything and everything in their life can be taken away – such little as they have. You have hit the nail on the head Ad. The above ...
How - you sit down and have a hard think and pull out your hankies. And the other people who have been trying to be good citizens and not have their children turn in to a...holes just should look on with a saintly expression and get a big dog with big ...
What to think of this - so wrong on a number of points? Follow the lemmings. Investment along the same inadequate lines of the past in commodity trees - all will be vulnerable to some species specific pest. Come in to the Cabaret, we're open for business, ...
Another interesting thoughtful comment Corey H. Part of Oz? If we tested that with - could it be worse? And will it happen because of our lack of any controls on borders and who gets money etc. Our politicians are only more likeable on the surface. Quite a...
Here is some Soviet history entwined with Poland that I have come across. For those who are trying to entangle the strands of Russian military action and why. It might open a window. https://www.theoldie.co.uk/blog/the-miracle-on-the-vistula-100-years-on
What says Luxon - Pugh? Phew!
This news item about good invasive trees - perhaps every time a wilding pine is removed, another suitable tree replaces. Or perhaps the established roots could be left and a less flammable and shade providing type could be grafted? Shame to waste roots if ...
Perhaps people would vote where they live in an area that supplies essential infrastructure for NZ. Government has got to get out of its easy chair,and be for the country - make some decisions they will stand behind. -They would have to face the bull while...
Be kind to old men and all oldies should do a memory test every six months, I wonder if he can bring on hypertension just thinking about protesters and empty cans lying on the lawn. He is probably just waiting for a space in some flash retirement home with...
Is chocolate the secret weapon? Perhaps that would be a way for needle-shy people to take vaccinations? Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine god down dah dah.
The essential services should be able to get swabs and perhaps self-isolate together in the emergency depot. RATs are quicker but not as effective. Is that how the system works? https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-...
Hope they honk into their hankies.
Just listening to Celine - not a bad lullaby to go to sleep on. And residents can take heart that the perps are not doing something bad and criminal. They are advertising their good behaviour if they are sitting in their cars and sending out that pop stuff...
Microgreens, an enterprise that's healthy I would say. A bit of good news about green thumbs. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/countrylife/audio/2018829342/marty-s-microgreen-s-and-now-a-bit-more-besides Like many other New Zealanders, the couple ...
Interesting for the environmentally conscious. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/country/460839/rules-helping-foreign-investors-turn-nz-farmland-into-forestry-reviewed
From Bernard Hickey's current summary on happenings: <i>Meanwhile, the top selling vehicle by a country mile last year was the diesel-powered Ford Ranger (12,580 sales), which weighs in at two tonnes and generates 20 times more carbon emissions per ...
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/459009/new-conservation-plan-for-canterbury-s-braided-rivers Good news, something that was being talked about mid 2021 seems to have come to fruition. ...The braided river revival plan was announced by Environment ...
It seems that people are going to be pivoting around the main point - this theft of natural identity at will as a social movement, not a personal imperative. Males saying they are females and females saying they are males. I wonder if females can utilise ...
Jonathan Pie on Cop26 with lots of irreverent comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s3RLl_xq7M
And without prompting up pops the know-it-all preachiness of those excited to overturn the patterns of aeons of evolution.
Courage, mon (mom) brave!
Perhaps we can lean towards believing in being good to each other even if we don't believe in god. It tends to have cost benefits. And RL I have used analogies a lot hadn't you noticed. A simple joke for people with warped minds. Graffiti on wall. 'Men ...
What is Putin's genocide Stuart?
Victimhood is in so they are following the zeitgeist, dialysis people affected by covid 19 who have been overlooked. Feeling goodness and gratitude for life-extending care is pushed aside. And ever older age is taken for granted while at the same time ...
RL You constantly revert to thinking as an engineer. Religion is of the mind and spirit and thought, cars have had certain thoughts crystallised and turned into material items. Material and mental don't match up in the same way for comparisons.
I'm reading about Slavoj Zizek's thinking that behind our eyes all is fiction. I like him but he goes OTT. He could stop talking about voids and nothingness behind us, and honour our remarkable flights of fancy, our fantastic abilities to grow our fictions...
