"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.

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.

A fun thing when you're protesting some kind of reform is to apparently know so little about it that you make posters opposing the thing being reformed stop three waters we opposed the golden mile sort of thing

looked up the etymology of the word "tomboy" and: - it dates back to the 1550s - changed meaning FROM "rude boy" TO "girl who acts like a spirited boy" in the 1590s shocked to discover that words can change meaning over time. also tomboy is AMAB lmao.

If you've come here from X we're not having the same issue on this platform as we have there. The link to this article is still being miscategorized as spam despite our reports to X. The link to the investigation below should work on Bluesky as it appears to be an X only issue.

this telescope was gifted to NASA by the NRO, which had it left over & sitting in a clean room since the late 90s (I think). What is the NRO & why do they have better telescopes than astronomers? Well, it’s a spy agency & there are 16 of these in orbit for the past 2 decades pointing down at Earth 😬

People who believe nothing you post has impact- have no idea how to use a platform & they may also have an interest in discouraging you from speaking out. Online activism matters. Look at what they did to Twitter. Twitter was previously one of the most important communication tools on the planet.
