The bitch is back. I’ll be honest I was going to give it all up as it felt futile, I know what’s coming will be rough, and I’ve taken a beating in recent years. But… when good people do nothing, the bastards win. It’s on all of us to resist this nightmare, hard. My take… youtu.be/WWa1QzVOYjs

Auckland to Wellington in one day ON A BIKE??? This is an astonishing achievement by EF's Lachlan Morton. Not to mention a bloody big NZ sports story that's totally escaped our own media (I first read a about it in the Guardian) Oh yeah, it's also A GREAT YARN! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJlF...

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

I helped a friend with an electrical check of her house today and I must say that during the house sale period we should have a mandatory electrical and plumbing check. In electrical land they call it an ROI. There was so many issues I ran out of pad space The Inspector was quite shocked😟

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

This change will shift me from "Kindle store as last resort" to "I'm not buying from Kindle". Authors, if you want me (& anyone who doesn't want amazon holding their books hostage) to buy your books, have them on multiple storefronts (kobo, itch, smashwords etc). Amazon exclusive now a flat "no".

I'm saying this as somebody who's been at a lot of protests in NZ: if violence starts, it is always Destiny Church. Consistently. The only times I've been assaulted are by Destiny Church members. They are not a church, they are a violent hate group and people need to wake up to it.

Real men don’t barricade women and children. Real men don’t threaten and intimidate. Real men don’t preach hate. Real men DO show respect, compassion & love. Real men are comfortable enough in who they are to celebrate the diversity of others. Brian Tamaki you are just a boy.
