The delusion of RW Americans is astounding. The US has NEVER been about freedom, let alone democracy. It’s ALWAYS been about protecting capitalism. They’ve always been happy to destroy democracies and betray their allies if it supported their $$ interests. No wonder they ended up with Trump.

Here's a delightful update to Maurice Gee's tribute page from @kylemewburn.bsky.social: www.thesapling.co.nz/farewell-mau...

So Israel attacked Iran and now Iran has to “surrender”? WTF? If someone finds a clue, send it to Trump because he doesn’t have a single one.

So the assassinations in Minnesota weren’t acts of terrorism, it was simply a concerned Christian letting off steam? Gosh, Goebbels would have been ousted as a moderate in the ongoing US clown show. Does anyone in GOP have a grain of decency or a sliver of backbone?

If Luxon thinks anyone who does anything for anything BUT money are “worthies”, I guess that makes people like him “worthless”.

While remodelling my office, I found a banana box full of old letters from family and friends between 1985-2000. And another box of fan mail dating back to 2006. Now I’m not sure if I should keep them or burn them? What a quandary!

It’s weird how MAGA people are constantly blaming a nefarious, incredibly cunning “Deep State”, yet chose the world’s biggest moron to tackle it. Seriously? It’s like employing Maxwell Smart when you need a James Bond.

When will people understand that capitalism doesn’t care about them or anyone else. They only care about $$. It’s not like they’re even trying to hide this simple truth either. It’s in the fucking name! It’s not humanism. Or socialism. Or even patriotism. It’s capitalism. They worship capital! SIGH!

So Ruth Richardson got a gong, eh? I assume it’s for “contributions to poverty”?

To celebrate Pride Month, everyone simply accepted that Queen’s Birthday was now called King’s Birthday. See how easy it is to accept change?

Farmers aren’t the backbone of the country. They’re the hernia that keeps NZ from lifting its weight environmentally. Time their “concerns” are excised.

So a “moderate” or “centrist” politician is one whose “flexibility” and “pragmatism” derives from the fact they have no moral backbone, and their only political motivation is to stay in power as long as possible by pandering to millionaires and media barons. Got it!

Gosh, there are so many original stories/novels out there but Netflix churns out dull remakes and myriad versions of the same soldier/agent/cop etc with dark past returns to hometown and sets long-buried secrets in motion. Is it just cheaper? Or are they totally lacking in imagination? SIGH!

The woke mind virus doesn’t work on RW people because they don’t have minds. Their heads are full of an amorphous sludge of bitterness and bile. Nothing can survive in there except hatred and hypocrisy. SAD! 🤣

It’s been a successful #picturebook year, I must say. I just received my advance copy of my next book - Boo Zoo. How exciting! It’ll be in the shops around October. Lisa Allen has done a fabulous job bringing my ghoulish menagerie alive. Thanks to Walker Books. #kidlit

After 21 years as a (relatively successful) published author, I’ve qualified for a community services card. Yay me! The pension can’t come soon enough.

Neo-liberalism was always an inherently fascist ideology. It’s no wonder we’ve ended up here.

Seriously, all RW people should just fuck off somewhere else. Like find their own planet where they can eat money, breathe hate and bathe in hypocrisy. Leave this planet for people with a shred of humanity.

In a few years the expression “as dumb as Trump” will be included in every dictionary.

We had a nice outing with our two French wwoofers. Sadly we didn’t make it all the way over to the Maniototo thanks to a swollen ford.

So let me get this right. The Deep State is a powerful secret network that controls everything. While Trump is the anti-Deep State champion, and the only one capable of destroying it. Yet the Deep State let him win the election… twice. Gosh, MAGA have created the perfect grift, haven’t they?
