The magic of photorealistic portraiture is the feeling of that person being brought to life in front of you and seeing the light shining in Efeso’s eyes today as his mural nears completion, was powerful, and emotional. One year today, and the loss is still immeasurable. Our #SouthAuckland legend.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

The Post printed an article today asserting that Wellington’s car parking is “overstretched”. I asked what their basis was for asserting this, given that WCC parking occupancy at peak times is only 52% and there are around 30,000 car parks overall in the central city. They removed the assertion.

I have no idea how they have the audacity to be all up in local government's business to this extent when so much going so wrong with their own knitting. 'People don't vote in local elections' & when they do - this happens. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Joel is right and he should say it. Honestly the whole city right now is stricken with loss aversion bias. We're not losing a mediocre bridge, we're gaining a proper, open, connected civic square.

Absolutely get fucked with this "pipes before cycleways" framing. Have you _seen_ what roads cost to build and maintain? Getting people out of cars would save so much fucking money we could have gold water pipes that never corrode.

Statistics NZ says #Wellington has lost 19,430 jobs in a year. Economist Shamubeel Eaqub says that's 11.6% of its jobs. Most cuts would be people who commute into the city to work. If retailers complain about slow sales, blame job losses not cycle lanes! #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...
