You first.

"The Prime Minister has set the bar so low that ministers have to sack themselves" might be the first actual zinger I have heard from Hipkins this term

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Never go to war with Dolly Parton. Just don’t.

How good is this? The port in Akl. 😍👏👏 📸: X/@petermcglashan

incredible exchange, @marisakabas.bsky.social

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

“Beyond Skepticism: Data Confirms Auckland's Zoning Reforms Delivered on Housing Promises. Three rigorous studies, 43,500 new homes, and a 28% drop in rents: The data is in on Auckland's great housing experiment.”

It takes a LOT more energy, effort, money and political will to fix the city-building mistakes of the past than it takes to do the right things in the first place, even if they SEEM hard to do at the moment. Stop making the mistakes that we KNOW are mistakes.

It’s good to see National backtracking on this…just not in Wellington or Otago. 🙄 www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

One might almost say that a strong and capable Prime Minister would do something about this.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Oops 😬

blockchain for knowledge but on paper

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

This seems like a pretty good description of the DCA accident. youtu.be/_3gD_lnBNu0?...

Every day, we get more evidence that congestion pricing is making car trips faster in Manhattan, making bus travel more reliable, and increasing the use & load factor of our mass transit system. Cannot think of a recent policy that has been so *immediately* successful. www.fox5ny.com/news/has-nyc...

Former Secretary of Transportation--who was not on The Real World or Road Rules--weighs in on the President's efforts to blame the fatal air traffic accident on DEI.

Brilliant.

This is perfect explanation

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

“Public transport doesn’t need invention. Just like water and electricity, we've solved the technology challenges for urban and long-distance transport. It’s the political will, not technological capability, that is lacking. We don't need invention; we need implementation.” @garethdennis.bsky.social

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

I think we can change the world by having protected bike lanes and secure bike parking everywhere.
