Huh, so the American "No Kings Day" is happening on the same day as the Commonwealth's "Kings Official Summer Birthday".

I think there should be no kings and no king's birthday celebrations FWIW. Power passed down the genetic line like a mutation is ridiculous, and anyway no power should be concentrated in one person like that in the first place.

Have a happy holiday, whichever you are celebrating/protesting.

*Awards are a joke

because we are what we value — as individuals or as a nation

i’m happy that at least some people got a long weekend out of all this. that’s something to value, right?

SPOILT HOLIDAY
NEARLY ALL ATTRACTIONS CANCELLED.
Owing to the conditions ruling this morning, the programme of holiday attractions suffered from wholesale cancellations, and the events that were adhered to saw audiences which were but a small proportion of what they would have been had the conditions been good. The two main features of the programme were the only ones proceeded with. These were the final selection Rugby Match at Athletic Park, and the race Meeting at Otaki.…
At noon the Royal Salute was fired from Mount Cook in honour of the occasion for which the holiday is being observed.
