Ōtautahi, if anyone sees one of these, a Magnum Metro S, with one brown tyre and one black one, missing a battery, either on the street or for sale, will you please let me know? Someone broke into our back gate to take it.

"Costello also failed to supply the Ombudsman with information he required for his investigation." That's actually a crime (s30(b) OA via s29 OIA). The penalty is trivial, but a prosecution may encourage les autres.

Average rent is $620pw, more in Auckland or Wellington. You must put down $1240 on average that your landlord can steal from you for the privilege of *maybe* having a cat or dog.

The Luxon Government releases a farcical climate strategy ‘pamphlet’ on the same day its own officials deliver damning advice on the emissions impact of Shane Jones’ planned repeal of the oil and gas exploration ban.

Forced to apologise?? What a star.

You can be a Minister in this Government, break the law and lie but keep your job because not only is winning ugly a thing so is staying in power while doing ugly unethical stuff. #NZpol

In response to hearing that these inconvenient truths will be aired on the world stage, Act called for getting rid of the Human Rights Commission. In a press release, instead of apologising for damaging our reputation, Act blames the messenger.

This sets such a precedent. Thinking about all the academics who work in trans health, and how they will need to think about this when they make professional decisions. I still worry about how precarious staff would fare in similar circumstances.

It's beyond obscene for this woman to complain about her retirement being "ruined" when she knows full well how many people have died waiting for gender affirming care in England, and how many more will languish on waitlists to nowhere thanks to her.

Both the government and the media have done a good job of talking Cass up as a definitive, impartial overview of trans healthcare. It is neither. More young people will die as their very identity is demonised, and they're denied appropriate care. I DGAF that Cass's retirement has been spoiled.

LitHub has published Heba al-Agha's Gaza Diaries (from her "Talk of Life and War" Telegram) in English. The int'l media is still barred from Gaza; Israel's campaign has killed well over 100 Gazan journalists. This is an important way to recognize Gazan voices & to share stories beyond the headlines.

We absolutely should NOT have class war until the self-styled revolutionary vanguard recognizes that racial conflict is not reducible or secondary to class conflict, AND they recognize that the experience of race shapes our experience of class. I’m not holding my breath on that though.

the carceral state has metastasized in the last ten years where as in the case of Banko Brown private security is now deputized by the state to kill (Black, poor, disabled, queer) people. abolition is the triage that will allow us to begin to heal, it will just get worse otherwise

Investing in the Carbon Capture Scam means the Govt is banking on using more fossil fuels in the future, at a time when we must be phasing out fossil fuels and investing in renewable energy.

It’s hard to see it as anything other than outright climate denial.

Carbon Capture and Storage is a false solution designed to create profit and longevity for the coal, oil and gas industry while delaying its inevitable and necessary end. It’s been promised for decades but only ever delivered other profit for the oil & gas industry and the delay of climate action.
