… The only words I will write on the nonsense surrounding New Zealand’s Prime
Minister pulling a waitresses ponytail:
Twitter still pretty unbearable. Everything
gets turned to a partisanship as null-think as the old nationalism wars were
fought over.

I'm partisan only to ideas, not identity.

@MVLibertas Yep.
And the most vicious partisans star the Left coz they're so wrapped up
in identity bound tribalism.

I further find it sadly unsurprising that all blogs other than myself and Jo Holmes are so wrapped
up in identity politics trivia, not one has seen fit to write up the most
important court battle in New Zealand at the moment: Lecretia Searles High
Court battle to die
with dignity.
There can be no more important rights case than this, and currently nothing
more ignored by the petty partisan political pundits.
Mind
you, our cowardly politicians are sitting out the euthanasia debate also,
leaving the entire weight of it on the shoulders of a dying woman. And that is beyond
shameful
to being a comment on the failure of our democracy.
If you want to know my opinion on #ponytailgate, it’s conflicted. The
inappropriate touching - because no consent - is obfuscated by it being reported on hard Left The Daily Blog: that reportage puts it
something between sexism and agenda, meaning, unknowable. And then of course
there’s my post Retrieving the Corpse of Roger Sutton from the Cross
of Shesus:
that’s in my opinion somewhere also. But I really can’t be bothered.
Finally,
from 105 kgs at end of last September, to this fine morning I’m 87.2 kgs, so
operation flat stomach and occasional sobriety achieved. Albeit social
media and the MSM have combined into a huge compunction to drink recently.
Well done on the weight loss. How did you do it?
ReplyDeleteRe the ponytail - she accepted the apology and compensation.
Thanks Reed.
DeleteKnocked the booze down by about two thirds, no sugar, three healthy (paleocentric) meals a day and no picking outside of meals.
No exercise?
DeleteYes, but that's always been the case, even before the healthy eating/drink for last six months: I've always done 1/2 walk morning and hour hill walk afternoon in Geraldine, then hour steep beach/hill walk and kayaking in Mahau Sound. So always been fit, just had grown a wine paunch and jowly chin.
