Must-read article from Marc

@jiripolasek.com any way to make this kind of input trigger the unit converter extension you made?

The Trump years were dark. But in little NZ they never lost hope. For NZ had a leader of rare and inspiring character. In the face of endless climate disaster and economic implosion, he always had just the right uplifting words: "Welcome to IKEA" "Welcome to State of Origin" "Check out my Spotify"

Look this summer may be a disaster, the Government may have disestablished literally all climate policies, but at least the economy is cranking... wait

how we got here

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

What is this plant? Growing in Hemi Matenga reserve north of Wellington @korimakoecology.bsky.social

Great work from @350nz.bsky.social #nzpol

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

My pocket theory on this is that they're saving it for an election year to whip everyone into a fever about lockdowns again and try to use that to get re-elected

Well well well. Hate to say I told you so, but... #nzpol

ONE BILLION DOLLARS. IT WAS THE ADDITIONAL ONE BILLION THAT MADE THEM STOP THE DUNEDIN HOSPITAL AND IREX. No money for hospitals or the ferries, money to prop up fossil fuels.

Cancun Ted over here argued that “partisanship is inherent and permissible in the districting process” in an amicus brief he filed with the Supreme Court in the Texas redistricting case last September. www.cornyn.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

It's actually crazy how utterly trash Docker Desktop is, for an app that has so much VC funding, and direct support from the operating systems

Powered by anger, I smashed a personal best for a hike that I previously thought unbeatable By 49 seconds.

Trump wants to “nationalize” voting. Here’s what could happen if he does.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Just got an email from Kiwibank which said "For security reasons, it’s important to always log in to internet banking through the Kiwibank website – kiwibank.co.nz" Except kiwibank.co.nz was a link to an email tracking domain. Doing exactly what they said the scammers would do. 🤦‍♂️

Pointing out all those record temperatures really showed em, Donald.

Once again grateful I don't live in that utter cesspit of a country known as USA

"The signs they have are all matching, they're well written" might be the most embarrassing sentence ever uttered.

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

Always worth a re-post when we get an update. Amazes me that Govt get away with saying they have done anything notable to 'tame inflation'. Our peak was relatively low (we weren't exposed to global gas prices 😌), and, over the last year, Govt decisions have demonstrably increased CPI.

Me and all my friends...

Would love to know the backstory behind that brick design!

In 2016 I bought shares in an Australian lithium miner at $0.35 each. Today I cashed them out at $5.10 Helping a fledgling green energy company raise funds for exploration, and then making a tidy profit ~10 years later feels pretty good Solar, wind, and batteries are the future

Reminder: the NACT government closed the Climate Emergency Fund established to deal with climate emergencies. Whoops. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Here's a crazy thought: AI-free software with built-in features that are available out of the box, and the only thing you need to do to get the latest improvements is...to update it. FOR FREE. 😱

Incredible speech from Carney and a must watch. Waiting for leadership like this from our government 💀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTvF...

‪I love how Luxon's office proves the respondents thoughts on him in their response, in both the dismissal of concerns and his unwillingness to respond personally. #nzpol

Donald is fucking cooked

This dude rules

The right wing know that facts and science are not on their side, so they just ignore it and in this case, stop it from being investigated Similar thing that's happening in NZ with our government constantly ignoring and overruling expert advice from every corner of society

no one: the president of the united states: they wont stop checking me for brain damage

I guess we’re about to see if the Republicans would rather go to war with Europe than stand up to Donald Trump.

The Renee Good murder is so blatant, indefensible and nuance-free that at least it’ll force the Trump Admin to finally say, “Because FUCK YOU, that’s why.” We can actually make progress from that point if we hit that wall.

i love the idea of a guy who’s still been on the edge of getting into jeopardy after 61 years of it airing

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

This is fucking unhinged. It's not environmental rules and regulations that are holding this country back. We refuse to tax the ultra rich appropriately and send a huge proportion of the profit from our natural resources overseas. Making it easier to wreck the environment isn't going to help.

A touching tribute to Mike F

When did Bing get so brutal?!?

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Big banking data day. Here's the all important credit flow - how much $ banks pump into the economy - net of repayments. We'll start with the biggie: mortgages. The monthly data has leapt into the neutral/positive range as interest rates drop and folks 'buy the bottom'. [🧵 1/n]

this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”
