Hi,

The National-ACT-NZ First coalition agreement(s?) are signed and New Zealand has a government. These foundational documents may promise things the parties have no intention of providing, contain contradictory wording, not add up, but what's new. 

We went and saw Napoleon in the theatres. To some it's a drama, to others a comedy, and to horses a horror.

And a ceasefire-of-sorts in Gaza in even parts celebrated and lamented.

Technical note, there's a weird thing going on with the RSS update frequency if using https://atthedrivethru.co.nz/rss. https://feeds.libsyn.com/69850/rss instead pulls episodes as soon as they're available.

Hi 

The negotiations to create the next coalition of chaos are apparently underway. What hydra might emerge from it, and what referenda on foundational indigenous rights issues in NZ look like if certain folks get their way?

UK politics remains unstable with the Home Secretary fired, and the familiar face of regretful Brexitdoer David Cameron reentering cabinet.

Bumper music;

Chat Pile - Why

The Dandy Warhols - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Katie Kim - Day is Coming

Supergroove - Scorpio Girls

And the movies! Napoleon is getting a movie. Perhaps the Reading Cinema complex will rise to meet it.
