You know who decided Vice President Kamala Harris is "ready" to be President? The motherfucking Constitution of the United States. Co-signed by 81,283,501 voters and 306 duly appointed deleates to the Electoral College. So it would be ADORABLE if the pundit class could know their place and STFU.

So in the first 9 weeks of our North American sabbatical I walked 1000km (the last week in Vancouver I got a bloody cold & it rained, lol). I completely wore through a new pair of Nike shoes & had the absolute best time ever. Pics to come soon. Back home in NZ processing images like crazy

How are the National Party taking their Tory chums getting smashed in the UK? Possibly some advice from Michael to Chris regarding how to govern properly.

"Butt out, Wellington" (said the Mayor of Auckland, to the Minister for Auckland, who lives in Auckland).

Also iconic: the moment when Councillor Alf Filipaina asked, “What is the problem the Government is trying to fix?” and basically the entire room shrugged. 🤷‍♀️ www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland-...

The FSU (unsurprisingly, hypocriticaly) fighting AGAINST people's right to be called what they want. Anti pronoun, anti diversity, equity, and inclusion, and anti any freedom of speech for anyone who isn't them.

The FSU are massive transphobes. There is no concept of compelled speech in NZ. CHSA will be writing to the Council with our position. Ani and Ayling are both anti-trans. There is no pretence anymore. But Ayling keeps his powder dry by never uttering hate speech himself.
