I thought the Russian ambassador on Q and A was quite a caricature of a Russian in a government position. Couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the interview even on such a serious topic.
Today is my birthday (turning 30), which is the only time each year when I ask you for a repost should you like my art. Have a good day! 🦦🌿✨️ - Simon

Seeing the crazies come out of the woodwork over the Fauci witch hunt, even here, I’m reminded that despite all the knowledge & science available to us at our fingertips, this is probably the stupidest humanity has been since the Middle Ages. Historians will not view this period in a good light.
Listening to Winston breathing grievances like a clogged up bellows, I’m sincerely hoping the next government will bring in a bill to cap the age of a politician’s tenure to 70 at a minimum.
Happy birthday to @ninjakitty.bsky.social . I hope your day is as fabulous as you are!

Got my submissions in by the skin of my teeth. Bloody government making me be all political and so on.
Currently trying to organise respite care for Murray while I’m recovering from surgery. It’s both easy & difficult. The Easy..I just have to ring a rest home & book him in then advise the agency. The difficult.. trying to find a rest home that has an open bed for the dates I need. Sigh…..
Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 2mo agoRIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter
I’ve been off here for a bit what with tripping up the hospital daily for Murray, getting a heap of sewing done before my own surgery & generally being disorganised & so much has happened. Oh well, time waits for no man.
Really tired of seeing MPs post the exact same thing like they only have one collective brain! Wish the election was this week because the next 5 months is going to feel like 5 years!
I see Nicola was happy to use the Covid times as an excuse for hard economic times now whilst talking to Duplicity yesterday. Seems a bit “excuses for me but not for thee” to me.
Am I wrong to question the treasury predictions of 220,000 new jobs (over time) given our current unemployment rate is 163,00, even allowing for population growth & new entrants onto the job market? Doesn’t that seem an unrealistic dream to anyone else?????
Murray’s just been carted off to hospital again. Either a mild stroke or another UTI. Will know later.
I see all the brilliant people on here who are going to submit against the Marcroft gender bill with reasonings unique to their fields, but what about someone who just plain thinks it’s wrong & wants to submit along those lines. Would appreciate some help articulating that please.
IT DOES NOT GO TO FAMILIES. IT IS TAKEN FROM SOCIAL HOUSING PROVIDERS. IT IS GOING TO PRIVATE HOUSING PROVIDERS. FRAME IT AS ANOTHER BUNG TO PRIVATE LANDLORDS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS
Look, I do not like the woman but I’m quite concerned that Nicola Willis is looking seriously emaciated . I noticed that she seemed to stumble when getting up on stage for her pre budget speech & looked exceptionally gaunt with dark shadows under the eyes.
@ninjakitty.bsky.social is this in your wheelhouse?
Eddie Clark@dreddieclark.bsky.social · 3mo ago1 more exciting work thing; from mid July to the end of August, I'm teaching a 6 week, 1 evening a week grad course on the theory, law, & practice of reason-giving in govt. Can be taken standalone or part of a certificate, diploma, or LLM. Good for lawyers in or around govt or senior policy folks.
Does anyone else get the impression that the real Luxon is starting to show himself? What with short, angry, rude answers to questions, his views on immigration & calling expert advice “a load of rubbish “, it’s either that or he’s burning his bridges because he knows he’s not going to get back in!
I sincerely hope Ani O’brian never has a moment’s peace for a considerable length of time.
