Organisations call on govt to ditch LNG import terminal

All these dipshits know nothing, have no skills, beyond ideological warfare on Twitter. That's their whole world -- "owning the libs." They are so cosmically unprepared for any of this.

TRUMP: “Do everything I ask or I’ll bomb you back into the Stone Age!” IRAN: “How about, instead, you do everything we ask and we’ll call it a day?” TRUMP: “Deal.” FOX NEWS: “Awesome Trump is the world’s most masterful negotiator!”

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now

This guy speaks for me, too! 👍 #NoKings

Where exactly can you get the seeds? Asking for a friend

"There's TOO MANY THINGS and I am having VERY BIG FEELINGS" is the most honest status update anyone has ever posted. That child just wrote every adult's internal monologue for 2026.

Some people are just so hilariously horrible

In a rare show of unity, every party in parliament agrees they aren’t the ones in charge. #nzpol

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

Sooooooo, like USA then? "They have even handed guns to children," reads the chilling message from Iran that has just popped up on my phone. She's just confirmed what multiple human rights organisations have reported - Iran's regime is now recruiting child soldiers." www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

In Nov 2025 Chris Bishop removed the incentives that existed under the Clean Car Standard to encourage the import of fuel efficient cars and penalize gas guzzlers. This move cost Govt $264m. And increased NZ's fossil fuel use and emissions. Dumb and dumber www.drivencarguide.co.nz/news/clean-c...

I love when he accidentally tells the truth!

Aotearoa NZ take note. This is why industry is leaving the country. 100% clean grids attract paying users looking for predictable and dependable electricity.

‘Israel will not last forever’ a compelling thesis. I’m not sure why there is a suicide warning on this video but I think you can safely ignore it www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ji...

If you ran the government like a business, you'd get your nerds to tell you "what's the risk of the ferries failing in 2026" and you'd go "ah"

Genuinely thinks NZ is a business. Maybe we consider making the shareholder payments a bit fairer then you melt #nzpol

The allegory is so loud it's giving me a headache.

No more lectures from fossil fuel lobbyists on the so-called energy trilemma. Supposedly we had to choose two of three: sustainability, affordability or security. Turns out renewables win over fossil fuels on all three.

"I think the climate crisis should be everyone’s No.1 priority, but you can’t tackle the climate crisis without tackling the affordability crisis & the inequality crisis. It’s the same polluters who are destroying our environment who are extracting wealth from our economy to line their own pockets."

That would be the muscular sort. Pretty amazing that people seem surprised by the sudden violent turn of a religion that sanctioned slavery, empire, genocide and generally being an arsehole.

X-rays were discovered in 1895, then people pointed them at everything: diseases, pregnancies, frogs... until the danger became obvious. Now we only use them carefully & safely for essential & brilliant purposes. I reckon we're at the 1899 stage for "AI": throw it at everything & claim no downsides.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I'm just going to say it... all four of these guys would try human flesh if it were offered at the buffet.

How long before someone in his administration tells his that it’s ‘incursion’ not ‘excursion’? I mean, if he could read you could subtly leave books lying around.

A summary of Nicola Willis’s 1pm media conference for anyone that missed it #nzpol

In 2025 the NZ Govt consulted on its draft Fuel Supply Resilience Plan. Their Plan was more fossil fuel dependence. Greenpeace's submission was to decrease fossil fuel dependence - see actions below. It's not like we didn't tell them. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pub...

This "expert" can fuck right off www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

These AI boosters are so dangerous. This ‘expert’ wants us shovel good money after bad into the AI money pit. Even if you can find someone who is doing good things with AI they’re completely if ignoring the fact that it’s being subsidised by massively loss-making hyperscalers. 1/2

Whānau, remember how the far-right tried to take over Internet NZ last year and we kicked their butts? They haven't learned, and they're trying to do it again this year. Register by March 31st ($21 for a year) so you can vote in the AGM and send them packing again. members.internetnz.nz

#nzpol The National/NZ First/ACT coalition government seems determined to paint us into the nearest corner. They've made ridiculously bad economic and resilence decisions across all their portfolios. Vote all these vandals out.

It blows my mind how obvious it is that we are being robbed blind by the few with exceptional power & wealth and the rest of us just fight amongst ourselves about beneficiaries or Māori or immigrants or tax or trans people etc. WAKE UP FFS. 🤦‍♀️

Always a roller-coaster reading screenshots of Trump tweets, not knowing if it's going to be some stupid thing he said in 2016 that completely contradicts what he's doing in 2026, or some stupid thing he is saying in 2026 that contradicts what he's doing in 2026

I fear that when the AI bubble pops, the contagion will be bigger and more damaging than I feared, scarring state pensions, state investment funds, and people's retirements. AI data centers are the subprime mortgages of private equity. PE loves them. www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-pe/

I’m relatively indifferent to ads on Podcasts. I understand that podcasters need to drum up some income to, at least, pay for the feed. What I really, really don’t like are ads for other podcasts. These podcast “networks” are just horrid.
