A reminder that this year is an election year. - Public service cuts are NOT inevitable. - Depriving the Public Sector to get "efficiencies" and "savings" is NOT inevitable. - Privatisation of our public resources is NOT inevitable. Register to Vote. Get your whānau to Vote. #nzpol

Diesel price so crazy these guys are back to running their truck on coal

The actual crime here is that ANZ uses SMS OTP instead of proper TOTP for 2fa. Phone numbers have never been a secure way to share secrets or prove identity like this. www.rnz.co.nz/news/chinese...

Straight up harassment of public officials.

$20m for a medical gas generator in Christchurch. The reason? “diversifying production between Glenbrook [Auckland] and Christchurch would remove up to 1000 inter-island tanker shipments a year” This government’s ferry incompetence is costing businesses. www.thepress.co.nz/business/360...

And even more good news from Parliament, Kahurangi Carter's second members' bill this month - the Drug Overdose (Assistance Protection) Legislation Bill - has just passed its first reading. #NZPOL

Looks like Kahu Carter’s Good Samaritan bill will pass its first reading! Huge win for the Greens.

Unbelievable. The Luxon government has now granted a prospecting permit within Te Wāhipounamu, one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

“For ages 11+” ?????? pretty sure George Orwell is going to personally haunt everyone involved in this film and everyone that watches it Y’know what his books needed? More goofy seth rogan performances youtu.be/g8wLmj9SiKM

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.

Luxon gets a couple of hard questions from Tova, and does a Q&A... #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

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
