We could easily feed, house and provide healthcare to everyone many times over. Overpopulation arguments ignore the elephant in the room, which is the unequal distribution and consumption of resources. The earth can support billions, but it cannot support billionaires.

Another huge reason to make sure that the government changes in November Our children are the future, this curriculum botch job will damage a generation #nzpol

I hope this case is successful.

The strongest El Niño in 150 years? That’s not hype, it’s the actual median forecast right now for the developing event later this year. It could rival — or even surpass — the legendary 1877 El Niño, the strongest on record, which was linked to widespread drought, monsoon failure, and food crises 1/

Latest comic on an economy that has become hostile to humanity.

This.

The way the outfits here create flashes of blue and white is very mesmerizing.

NEW: The One-Hour City Conspiracy! “Here's the REAL conspiracy: Too many people are forced into car-dependent lives, with more health harms, crashes, noise, air pollution, social isolation —& less space for everything our streets should be giving us.” Thanks @usa.streetsblog.org #1HourCityConspiracy

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

This is straight-up disaster capitalism. Using a crisis to remove regulations that protect public infrastructure whilst enriching donors.

Wise rabbit

Sometimes the algorithm speaks to me

Our government is vile. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

A politician (Shane Jones) who says that immigration will drive down wages when he is part of a Govt & action/policies that halted Fair Pay Agreements, ditched Pay Equity, reduced workers rights, and has overseen a pay cut for minimum wage workers in real terms is a racist & a hypocrite imo. #nzpol

I’m not at all surprised, but this is still really depressing.

1: Deferred maintenance is theft. 2: Councils that say rates won't go up are lying to you. 3: The cost of standing still is enormous but if we don't pay we'll go backwards. Going forward comes later at a higher price. 4: The model is broken and needs to be utterly overhauled.

i don't know who this man is, but bless him for this perfect rant

Could just say they don't (and won't) do deals with racists. End of.

No-hoper saved by circle of doom

How come having UBI would make us all lazy, but billionaires are supposedly hard-working and highly motivated?

Who gives a shit? A horse, a car, a bullet train can do a marathon faster. The impressive thing about living, breathing marathon record-holders is their physical/mental strength pushing the very limits of human ability This is just quirky guff to "humanise" tech made for other uses

Trump: WE HAVE DEAL! Markets: HOORAY!! Iran: We don't. Trump: THE STRAIT IS OPEN FOR ALL!! Markets: ALL RIGHT, LFG!! Iran: It is not. Trump: WE'RE GETTING ALONG GREAT WITH IRAN!! Markets: OH MY GOD AWESOME!! Iran: The fuck is wrong with you?

I don’t know what tax bracket you have to be in to care about govt spending or debt but I know I’m not in it. Literally could not give a shit. I’m in the tax bracket where I want kids to be fed, homeless people to be housed, people to be able to access and receive quality healthcare timely.

“… they will purge the agencies that enforce accountability, they will rewrite the law so that they are no longer breaking it… and if they are clever, they will eliminate any structural protections you had before the majority realizes the extent of the damage.” - Sarah Kendzior

Great, but scary article.

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

Too right.

Scary.

Winston Peters should understand this.

All Kāinga Ora homes should be converted to solar, any new builds from this point on should have to have solar and new public buildings too. I can’t believe we aren’t already doing this. #nzpol

gonna rename my cat nature because of how she feels about vacuums

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

Good morning to the four corners of the world

as a disabled person whose primary mobility aid is an e-bike i'm tired of constantly feeling erased in transport discussions i cycle so i can't be disabled, or if i can cycle i mustn't be *that* disabled, or it shouldn't be a big deal for me to "just" dismount and walk my bike

The really frustrating thing is that politics itself should be boring. All of the data and science backs up a renewable green future. Fuck even our country’s brand used to be associated with these values. We just need politicians who will follow the fucking data, advice and science!!!! 😡😡😡

The idiot NZ government need to read this. Much the same is going on with our ‘reserves’.

Slept (badly) in my REM t-shirt and woke up Gardening at Night

‘The era of invincibility is over’: the week big tech was brought to heel

Dixon, Cuba, Manners, Abel Smith, Wigan, Leeds, Ghuznee, it should all be closed to cars immediately. Have a 1/10th sized CubaDupa every weekend. A market for every queer crafty person in this gorgeous city. Pedestrianise, not in five years, now.

The NZ Govt's actual four phase National Fuel Plan: 1: Disestablish all polices that reduce fossil fuel use 2. Introduce polices to increase fossil fuel use 3. When fuel crisis hits, hold a press conference 4. Panic.

It’s a shame that no one in our shitty government would read this, are capable of understanding evidence, or don’t just want to punish people for being poor.
