Tim Berners-Lee: Why I gave the world wide web away for free My vision was based on sharing, not exploitation – and here’s why it’s still worth fighting for Solution: Solid is an open-source interoperable standard built at MIT a decade ago... See solid.org www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A little bit of Sunshine!

A reaction please Winston Peters, Cbhristopher Luxon, Alon Roth-Snir (head of the Israeli Embassy in Wellington)? Should we be proud of supporting this?

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

A perfect example of how out of touch Luxon really is… I’m not proud. I’m ASHAMED. #nzpol

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

“…80 percent of the world’s problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won’t let go.” —Barack Obama Winston Peters is 80. #nzpol

SAD!!

Proof that Winston Peters is both out of touch with his own country AND with the rest of the world. #nzpol

My first TikTok video didn't quite go as planned...

At a major "anti-hate" conference a few years ago I was on a panel where I lightly suggested big tech companies were faking their concerns about hate/misinfo. It didn't go over too well. But let the record show that once again I was right. They only care about money. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

In today’s NZ Herald

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Meanwhile, his very own government has re-opened oil and gas exploration.

How about we spend a bit of time making it not fucking awful for citizens and then we wouldn’t have to bend over backwards to entice people here. #nzpol

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I'm ready to start on my fall projects 🍂

Try to imagine chemistry without JJ Berzelius, who, after thousands of experiments, published the first precise list of atomic weights (1818). Yet Berzelius might have remained a mere physician had he never met Anders Ekeberg. Teachers can influence the course of history. 🧪 #chemsky #chemistry

Milo would like you to know that it should be a crime for the great apes to do things in the kitchen without providing 1 (one) snacky to all cats in the house. Thank you for your attention.

Subtext...

National promised 1000 social homes would continue being built in Auckland each year. They've done 45. Labour oversaw 18,000 over its term. National is now at -577. Incredible #nzpol

Bad bet. #nzpol Listener cartoon from early 2024

Luxon himself handed me the Prime Minister's science prize last year. Let me say this in plain English: he's an idiot for running a govt who budgeted more for AI than for the Marsden fund. any journo reading this can quote me on it #nzpol
