On some level most of us knew Luxon was probably lying about TOP but unconsciously decided that it was acceptable and normal. That is how the current politics and our psychology works.

Saw this a few days ago and it’s put a worm in my brain. Can’t stop thinking about it.

It's crazy how you can put this video in context of any country across the globe and it would still make sense. Everyone is growing tired of their incompetent government.

Old dude with a big beard and aviators got off his motorcycle and came into the shop and said "I'm looking for a fela kuti box set for my boyfriend" that's what it's all about

I recommend ACT have the next one in an anechoic chamber. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/05…
Act preaches free market economics in a literal echo chamber | The Spinoff

Act preaches free market economics in a literal echo chamber | The Spinoff

In what may have been a subtle nod to Act’s 10% polling average, the aircraft hangar-sized room was only 10% full.

Remember when Val Morgan and Roy Morgan went their separate ways and that’s how we ended up with Val’s Emporium and Roy’s Emporium?

Las aventuras de Buratino (1975), dirigida por Leonid Nechayev y estrenada en Belarusfilm en 1976. La cinta adapta el famoso cuento infantil La llave de oro o las aventuras de Buratino de Alekséi Tolstói, que a su vez se inspira libremente en el clásico Pinocho de Carlo Collodi

Wire - "Outdoor Miner". (1978-LP Version). This track is an absolute gem of quirky pop and angular post-punk. Driven by a haunting bassline and a minimalist structure that's textbook early New Wave, the single was a total sleeper hit in the UK charts, cracking the Top 50.

Amazing. Was just on Facebook and the last thing I caught was XTC playing Life Begins at the Hop live and then the first thing I see when I arrive here is this. facebook.com/share/v/1GPowcu…

XTC - "Radios in Motion". (1978). A cameraman's nightmare: The show was known for requiring bands to play 100% live, unlike "Top of the Pops" where everyone mimed to a backing track. XTC arrived with such intensity and such phenomenal volume that the BBC technical crew panicked.
