I was a bit confused though since there was no rain, then I heard about the meteor and felt a lot better Yea we had cloud cover and it was under that so it must have been pretty low when the really big flash went off.

Remember, you only get three murders. If you don't use them by the time your term runs out, they're gone forever.

that was only the second-most interesting thing Winston said yesterday, he also all but outright claimed that Sabin got done for domestic violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3WeDiyRSjw&t=240s linked directly to what he said, but the whole thing is good (terrible) for how obfuscatory the Nats are about it.

I vaguely remember hearing an opposition MP saying it was for something that was "deplorable" or words to that effect. If it is for domestic violence, then yeah, it is pretty loving awful.

I'd be very surprised if it was anywhere near cloud level, or even jet aircraft level, this sort of things happens VERY high up in the atmosphere. Basically if you still saw the flash despite being under clouds, that just shows how drat bright these things are. I only indirectly saw it, it lit up the wall in my living room, and my thought process quickly went from lightning (then I remembered it was clear out), to a passing car with bright headlights (I live on a main road). It was only later I saw the news articles and realised what had happened.

I really enjoyed reading this article in the metro a bit agometro mag posted:To Key, Question Time is a backyard game. The boy bubbles out of him. Powerful adults usually suppress their inner child — it’s supposedly a mark of maturity. But Key’s maturity isn’t at stake, and he knows that flashes of childlike pleasure link him to the rest of us. We all like ice creams. a lot of politicians (especially on one side  ) are quite disrespectful, which you would expect I guess

I was more thinking of how long it will take them to decide if they're going to charge him with something. I'm assuming this inquiry is a preliminary to that decision, if not then I'm very confused.

The speaker *appeared* to accidentally confirm that Sabin has name suppression and is therefore likely to be the prominent New Zealander in this story, in which case he's facing multiple charges Exclamation Marx posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URnuaz6-HRo&t=805s

In other Auckland news, TransportBlog is tweeting that the Reeves Road flyover plan has been dropped and cited the opposition to the proposed Basin project as a factor. I'm not sure what this means for AMETI given that Reeves Road sucks rear end, hopefully they're looking into light rail with signal priority as an option because that would own.

After that high-five last night at the CWC opener between Richie McCaw and Stephen Fleming, I'm starting to wonder if Richie is actually the problem and John Key got scape-goated during that Rugby World Cup trophy presentation.

Matthew Hooton, of all people, writing about SkyCity. It's brief, a little short on insight, but I think it's still worth a read.

I can see it being different now because John Key's A Good Bloke is wearing off slightly and the timing of things is just really bad for the nats. Not holding my breath though.

Ghostlight posted:They've ignored that level of opposition before and it hasn't done anything but put them back in for another term. Why would now be any different? They backed down on the mining so they're not completely immune to it. Plus yea, people are getting sick of the 'Key is a top bloke and cracks out a few zingers, which means you should overlook all the times he isn't a top bloke and not cracking zingers' act.

I especially like that they confirmed tax payer money has been spent on the exhibition, but they aren't objecting to the exhibition just one specific item in it, but also their objection isn't to "the t-shirt per se" because that would make them look like idiot prudes who don't understand that an exhibit costs money to run but the individual items could be from private collections and not cost the museum anything extra to include.

can you legally declare war on something that isn't technically a nation state? I guess all this poo poo got updated post-9/11 to include terror groups but just curious.
