Two buses on Lincoln Road this afternoon, one after the other: * Event Direct with 4 people on it * Normal bus with the “SORRY BUS FULL” sign on and older folk standing in the aisles ECan have failed so hard on this. Just put more buses on.

CALLED IT. I just won a bet www.thepress.co.nz/a/nz-news/36...

Ned got on the home page of Wikipedia today

I feel that ECan fully botched the opening of Te Kaha. 1. They closed the Manchester Super Stop, which is the closest stop, in favour of a detour 2. They did not increase frequency/capacity on major routes, resulting in massive queues and full buses after events end

Kill your lawn. These guys will thank you for it.

Sometimes editing Wikipedia feels like arguing with a brick wall, except the brick wall can argue back, and also has dementia.

Christchurch City Libraries are not subtle about who our enemy is in the iNaturalist City Nature Challenge.

Very sad news today. Ned the snail died last week without finding love. I am working with urgency to get him into the Recent Deaths section of the Wikipedia home page. www.rnz.co.nz/news/communi...

Wellington Wikicon is just a few weeks away! If you'd like to pop along and meet the great people that keep Wikipedia running in Aotearoa, there are a few spots available still en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

A while back the guy in the bunny costume stole a bunch of money from a community hockey group. He also complained when a cat got a community service award, because it “devalued” his own community service award. Christchurch politics is a weird scene.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion in Christchurch, but I like having chlorinated water. I hardly ever notice it and (this might just be me) I prefer not to regularly have torrential diarrhoea. It takes one sip of Dunedin water to realise how good we have it.

LLMs are going really well I see

Political parties need to start educating politicians about disgusting early internet shock humour.

Ōtautahi peeps! Lots of covid and RSV doing the rounds at the moment.

Just discovered Simplicity has some investments in Israeli companies 😭 Teva Pharma, Nice and Azrieli Group. I will be sending an email.

If you wanna come join an amazing team and do some practical mahi to make this a one term government, come join us in Ōtautahi! www.greens.org.nz/volunteer

Spent the weekend with a huge bunch of Ōtautahi locals committed to changing the government. There is some major momentum building behind our campaign! If you want to help out on the Greens campaign DM me and I'll connect you with the right people.

Popped along to a burlesque/circus/comedy fundraiser at Darkroom last night. What a great show! Ōtautahi has some wickedly talented people.

If you're interested in Wikipedia and keen to help improve representation for women architects, there's going to be a Wiki workshop as part of Open Christchurch on Sunday May 3rd. openchch.nz/buildings/re...

As a Little Yellow Digger stan I am so very happy with Stuff journalists right now.

This is the most total strategic defeat for the US in decades. An international embarrassment. Trump needs to be removed from office ASAP. I really hope peace can last.

My bingo sheet did not include Trump being the first sitting president to publicly announce “Praise be to Allah” but I guess that’s our timeline

My only regret about bringing back 2 pints of Chick-fil-A™ Sauce in my suitcase was not bringing back 4 pints of Chick-fil-A™ Sauce in my suitcase

I have zero confidence in our current government’s promises, so I am ignoring their claims about “confirmed” fuel deliveries planned. As of today, we have 28 days fuel remaining on land and on water.

TVNZ+ has channel 1, 2, Duke and … 24/7 Seinfeld?

Reminder: clocks go FORWARD. Like they always do. Time runs only in one direction.

Big rocket go vroom

Just got back from a few weeks in hillbilly country, Appalachia. Didn't see a single MAGA hat, but I did have random people hear my accent and go out of their way to come up and apologise for their nutty president. I have regained some hope for America.

Sean Plunkett is a plonker who is objectively wrong on everything. So when he says "I am not a broadcaster and not subject to the rules", he is wrong.

Ok it's actually the arms of Sir John Hall who was mayor of Christchurch and earlier Prime Minister and earlier chairman of the chch town council They sent this photo of a more close ho view of the arms

If NZ had a useful government right now they’d massively increase funding to public transport providers, to enable them to provide higher service frequencies and zero fares. This is currently happening in Australian states.

Sam Neill erasure should be an actual crime youtu.be/1N9MiAUi7Uo

A water pipe burst on the edge of my property. Reported it to Christchurch City Council and they had people out sorting it the next working day. CCC staff and service is really pretty fantastic—they don’t deserve to be penalised with rates capping. Our quality of service will inevitably suffer.

Having a hard time containing the smug “I told you so” when people complain about fuel prices.

ELECTRIFY EVERYTHING NOW

Chippy being a shitbag wasn’t on my bingo sheet this year. Labour is a shambles at the minute. We can’t get complacent for this election—Labour are on course to lose it in spite of how unpopular National are.

New World, why’d you ask my opinion if you don’t want to hear it?
