"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

Treated myself to a new Apple Watch SE3, just the right amount of retail therapy for a Tuesday 😅

Electrofficiency: electric tech is far more efficient than the fossil tech it replaces. A heat pump, an EV, an induction hob, same job on a fraction of the energy. That’s why electrification taking centre stage at COP matters. Excellent piece in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My friends are too much 🥹... I said no presents for my birthday and they went ahead and got me a case of red wine 😅🙃

Nothing says “dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.

Being told you have a strong personal brand in the company, by someone who leads people for a living, hits different. 😳🫣

I'm so over winter already, but at least it's my birthday week 😅

Let's do a mid-year check in: - Moving into a new role, lots of project & efficiency work - Went to a music festival, travelled to an island with friends for a winery tour valentines day - [insert laughter track here] 🙃

My god, what a voice!!! youtu.be/p70LFKdt4w4?...

nooooooo

Skynet is now operational

Another busy week ahead at work 🙃

Week in Review: Electricity prices are rising, but switching to EVs and electric heating can slash your total energy costs. Here is the economic case for going electric.

Popped my international travel cherry with a work trip to Sydney last week. First of many, hopefully.

So excited for my work trip later today ☺️✈️🐨🇦🇺

This time tomorrow I'll be in Sydney for my first international trip (it still counts if its for work right?). 😊✈️🐨🇦🇺

Watch out Sydney, I’ll be in your neck of the woods late next week ✈️❤️ Love my job 😌

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

Taking on a big chunk of a work project atm and life's actually going pretty well. Love-life? Tinder said no again lmao 😅

Well fuck

Did not have a cute man matching with me on the apps and making me chuckle, on my bingo card for this weekend 🫣

France 🇫🇷 doubles electrification support to €10bn/year through 2030 — EVs, heat pumps, industry. The reason? The Strait of Hormuz crisis making fossil fuel dependence impossible to ignore. Geopolitical shocks don’t just raise prices. They change what’s politically possible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cyclone Vaianu 7:20am Update The strongest winds are yet to come as Cyclone Vaianu approaches the country. Areas such as Auckland won't see their strongest winds until this afternoon, as the wind shifts southwesterly behind the cyclone.

Artemis II is officially back home.

Cyclone Vaianu: What you need to do to prepare

Just finished clearing the yard 😬

Let's bury the stupid idea of an LNG terminal and commit the country to an aggressive investment in electric cars, trucks and rooftop solar. While we are at it we should extend the electrification of the rail network.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Whiplash waking up to these photos alongside what the President has been saying. Hard to find words to describe the feeling of seeing these photos. I can't imagine what it was like for the crew to see it with their own eyes. Wow.

honestly feels bananas that people have to go to work and live their lives while this is going on bsky.app/profile/sahi...

Social media and the news are wild this week, alternating between “behold the scientific achievements of all mankind and the glory of the universe” and “maybe we’ll have WWIII because a senile man saw an AI TikTok.”

New Zealands lines companies will have to default to 10kw export limits for home solar from next month it seems Some exclusions apply.. www.ea.govt.nz/news/press-r...

HOLY SHIT I had diesel going over at the end of the month, then end of the week but not sodding tomorrow 55c to take it to $4.16 and Luxon says sorry not going to help you because he is wealthy and sorted dont you know www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

Thanks work for the new #profilepicture

This is a very good analysis of the latest Goldman Sachs report, which notes the huge impact on Singapore and South Korea in particular - take a look at skeets 11 and 12 in the thread. We should expect tankers from both these countries to stop arriving in the very near future #nzpol

It's getting spicy down here

The girls and I last weekend, ready to take on the night. Love them. 🥂

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz will cause fuel shocks at different times around the world. This map from JPM shows when that is for the major regions.

Mike Casey spells out some obvious reasons and ways to electrify NZ. The current govt “got caught with its pants down” is charitable. youtu.be/X5RXdQyqikM?...

An essential read for anyone in #nz - the fuel crisis is far, far worse than the govt is letting on energyandresilience.substack.com/p/every-coun...

2:30am and I’m wide awake 😭 Bruh I hate having chronic back pain 😖

It cannot be repeated enough that we need to rapidly decarbonise our economy, particularly transport. This has benefits for climate change as well as energy resilience. Policy support for more buses, trains, ferries; protected cycleways; safe walking; e-bikes; e-cars; e-trucks.

Recharging Those Humans (While Charging the EV) | #urbandesign #transportation Ben does urban design and draws up three types of Human/EV Recharge Stations A Human and EV Recharge Station for each of the likely urban/rural geographic contexts they might face: Small Medium Large

Right, enough about EVs, lets talk inter city rail again. I think the Oil Crisis has made this question very easy except to NACT1 You have $3.7 billion to invest into a single transport project in the upper North Island of Aotearoa in order to unlock its full potential. Which do you choose?

We can move the trucking fleet to EVs any time folks 👇
