Fragile US airspace, not just NY Guardia crash. 2 weeks ago unidentified drones breach jamming & defences over Barksdale, Louis. B52, nuclear base. "Flights lasted *4 hrs a day* and drones used varied routes of ingress & maneuvering in restricted airspace." abcnews.com/Internationa...

Paris has elected a new Mayor that's promised to accelerate the conversion of the city to micromobility and ped first. It's clear to everyone why this guy won, right?

Holy 'eck, blink of an eye, obscure radio resurfaces another era. That's Robin from Benny Profane. Used to hangout with them, the Bunnies, Radleys, 25th of May, Barbel, down Ye Cracke (Lennon's art school local), Everyman, Philharmonic & Casa's. Vintage, thanks x

A literal currency for polishing a turd. Under no circumstances, look at, or touch the back of this coin.

www.cbc.ca/news/world/c... How will they open Strait? Canada signed Starmer's statement (on behalf of UK, Italy, Japan, France, Germany, Holland - [not EU]) late. "Appropriate measures" remains unexplained other than umbrella of UN as appropriate authority. This is jawbone diplomacy, not boats, yet.

This is totally daft way to spell woke cycle lanes: "Bubble in an unstaffed plant: Likely cause of Moa Point sewage catastrophe revealed"

A coherent, consistent series of sentences from NZ opposition on Iran war. Worth further discussion & coverage. Maybe it's Friday PM in Sth Pacific, but the Middle East is still raging inferno...just 🔇 🦗 (cf. Politico: Spain leads as EU coalesces around Sánchez’s anti-war position) bit.ly/4cZEmIn

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

No fuel jerry cans in Auckland. Sold out.....🤔🙄

amazing

David Cronenberg: ‘Scorsese said ‘I was actually afraid to meet you as I’d seen Shivers and Rabid and I was really terrified to meet you.’ And I said ‘You’re the guy who made Taxi Driver and you’re afraid to meet me? I’m afraid to meet you.’

Funny idea of Jesus, but in the good old days FBI set elaborate traps to execute folks saying “by any means necessary”

Yes, thank you, we agree.

George Michael is the reverse Morrissey. Effortlessly talented, graceful, soulful, multicultural, and grew in stature with his age. Never a Wham fan, I grew to love his voice, talent and humanity. A massive Smiths fan, inevitably grew up to loathe the sight and sound of god knows he's miserable now.

Brilliant thread. If only Terry Jones and George Harrison were around to make the movie: Hitler-Nosferatu-Gumby How the techno-feudalists found the Holy Grail

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

The scale of the push back today against Trump's Hormuz 'plan', and the explicitness of the rejection by leaders feels very significant. The US claim to global authority is visibly deflating in front of the world even as Trump continues to bluster toothlessly.

Indeed, Donald Trump's mental illnesses and the American press and political class's appalling and shameless cowardice in failing to address them will be someday be a mandatory part of the curriculum for secondary-school and university students the world over.

Reflecting on the Christchurch terror attack in this holy month of Ramadan. To grapple with extremist violence is to confront the truth. And the truth is that the ideology that drove the terror attack runs unchecked in the mainstream in Aotearoa today. culture-centered.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

Remembering 15 March 2019 It has been 7 years since the white supremacist massacre of 51 Muslim men, women and children at two Ōtautahi/Christchurch mosques. Since then fascist violence and genocide have spread across the globe.

We also need to ask how such infrastructure serves NZ's interests. Does it enhance sovereign capability or simply tie us into American systems more closely with the risk that vital services could be shut down or data accessed on demand by the US government?

Really, we need to ask if the societal benefits of such technologies in any way warrant the environmental costs of data centres comparable to the Tiwai Point smelter in terms of their energy consumption.

NZ has a problem with AI illiteracy, but it is not, as suggested here, that people are not using it enough. Few people or organisations understand how 'AI' systems actually work, what their limitation are, or what happens to their data.

Punch 1941. Swap USSR/GB for Israel USA. The long old stench of Islamophobic orientalism.

Emergency oil tap is 33% of reserves. Largest of all 6 releases since 1974. 400M barrels is equivalent to 20 days of shipping in Hormuz. We've already had 13 days block, today incrementally worse. Even if Netanyahoo stops in 1 week or 2 - unlikely - supply is toast. www.iea.org/news/iea-mem...

This is the same 2020 study you might have seen before, but it's true. I was gamely riding a lightweight street bike when and where I could, but it wasn't until I got an e-bike that the bike became my main means of transport.

David Bowie released Young Americans on this day in 1975 (7 March 1975). You can replay the listening party (no_333) here:

If it feels like Trump appointed the most incompetent people imaginable to run the federal government, it’s because that was the plan. Bannon and the Broligarchs wanted to smash the administrative state and rebuild it in their own corrupt fascist imagine. Each department head was a wrecking ball.🧵
