"Over and over again, we’re being told that everyone should be treated the same. That’s flawed and driven by ideology rather than evidence." - Collin Tukuitonga. 🇳🇿@etangata.bsky.social

All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

Theo is exploring

So the road/rail level crossing removals the Minister made a show of announcing will not actually be in place until 2032?

Closing a library, even temporarily, is a terrible idea, if only because ratepayers love their library more than almost anything else (in Westland ours had over 90% approval ratings). www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-t...

What a wonderful mural for efeso

Austerity in NZ, like not the stuff they've been trying so far - the real deep cuts to come - are going to be more visible than the school lunch disaster. In a country of 5 million, it's hard to conceal hacking at the social fabric on the scale that may be to come.

Gorgeous day in Wright's Hill today, and bonus teensy Tītitipounamu friend! Banded, so must live at Zealandia, but first time I've seen one outside the fence in Karori (even if quite close to it).

What was the relationship between the store security worker and Cameron Slater associate Marc Spring who spread the image?

This is a brutal read and quite the legacy for the former Provost of Victoria & President of NZs Royal Society.

omg nzh - the photo remains online and was posted to social media because YOU LEAD WITH IT www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/sorry-foo... Foodstuffs admits its security staff leaked photo of ex-MP Golriz Ghahraman as new privacy breach emerges

Supermarket finally admits its security guard leaked image of ex-MP shopping. Same problem in other stores. Auror combined with untrustworthy staffers is harmful. archive.is/WlDZ3

Mōrena e te BlueSky whānau. Here is your sunrise for 22 February from Makorori Headlands, Aotearoa / New Zealand.

Elon Musk's AI platform has been retrained to generate a "both sides" response to whether climate change is a threat. One is the view of science, while the other is fossil fuel industry waffle.

I was foolishly watching nature videos while walking. I was so absorbed by one about a family of lions I missed a step and went flat on my face. I guess it’s true what they say, pride comes before a fall!

Man what the fuck did we do lmao look at this shit

*stares in historian*

Remember when we used to worry that technology would be used to fake news images of, say, the US President declaring himself king, or his team doing Nazi salutes?

Telco suffers from National-led government crashing our economy.

The *privately-owned* Marsden Point refinery - in a sunset industry - closed because it was not commercially viable. Nothing to do with the last government. But sure, donate more public money to big oil, you chumps.

I have lodged a formal complaint with the charities regulator asking that Destiny Church’s charities be struck off because of serious wrongdoing last weekend in my Te Atatu electorate. 1/3
