Take a second and think before posting the easy Eeyore reply. You might have something substantive to say instead. Or, even better, you can say nothing at all.

I made a vector map of the counties of #NewZealand at the time of their creation in 1 November 1876, which didn't exist previously. Was tidying up the #Wikipedia article on them, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countie... #maps

Ok I emailed UHCC and they were able to take a photo so now it is no longer missing

Christchurch has 60% of the population of Canterbury but something tells me that their one mayor isnt gonna have that equivalent vote share vs 9 other mayors #nzpol

im sure Wairoa and Central HB will be glad that their mayors will now have to travel to Napier rather than focusing on their districts, but localism is very important to this govt obvs mayors weren't elected to do what the govt is proposing, insane not to announce this like 6 months ago #nzpol

what do you mean a majority of democrats think aliens have visited earth???

Map of regional council areas (1/1/2019-present)

reform in local govt is needed but just getting rid of regional councils seems like the worst way of doing that more stuff should be organised at the regional level, there's too many local councils it makes no sense that hawke's bay has 5 councils for example #nzpol

reforming local govt with less than a year to a general election—one in which you are not guaranteed to win—is just insane. shit takes time. also weird to wait to after this terms local elections, for a "fiscally conservative" govt you'd think they want to do it before hand to avoid the costs #nzpol

He's literally the Pope?????

at some point it seems all the social media sites i use went from posts with the vibe of "im posting to the internet" to "im posting to my special friend group" even though the actual interaction between poster and reader didnt change, just parasociality with people you dont know

Article I wrote on Bayden Barber featured on the front page of #Wikipedia today in the Did you know? section en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

crazy to me that some people consider the waffles-posting on bsky more annoying than getting called a dozen racial slurs you havent even heard of, as seems to be the case on twitter

While I'm on this I find it very weird everyone's discussing these "tricks" they think Trump might use to run for a third term. I don't think he will, but if Trump decides to run for a third term here's how he'll do it: he'll announce he's running for a third term and Republicans will let him.
