I humbly put this forward as a possible campaign for the new electric VW

Huge win: I can finally go back to hooning past schools at dangerous speeds

This says it all.

Knowledge is power, folks.🧠 Which is why those who yearn to enact fascism and authoritarianism ban books like these, and why YOU should read them ASAP.📚👀 History will repeat unless we learn its lessons, and dystopian fiction become reality unless we heed its warnings. Read.📖 Speak up.📢 #Resist ✊

An incredible photo from Berlin this evening. An estimated 100,000 have been on the streets in the German capital today to protest against the Far Right and fascism in Europe. #Resist (📸 Ricarda Lang)

CARTOON OF THE DAY

In a world of Kid Rocks and Carrie Underwoods, be a Woody Guthrie.

Oh please Tamaki Makaurau… HERE, NOW. And whey the fuck isn't everybody talking about Paris, instead of stupid parking culture war shit.

#silo S2 finale was mid arvo here in NZ - darkened the room for the… you know silo-ness, wine on hand. Much to love but erghgh… the ending felt a bit … like what i heard of the Sopranos. Damn - a whole year to wait now?

Jeepers #Wordpress is getting very #Silo S2. Mullenweg is soo Bernard, and has about as many friends left rn. Is this weeks shennagins #theSafeguard?

Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin

Remember this classic? Disney understood almost 75 years ago what too much driving (and bad suburban sprawl creating car dependancy specifically) can do to any of us. Watch “Motor Mania” from 1950, and ask yourself, are you a Mr. Walker or a Mr. Wheeler? #CarDependency #RoadRage youtu.be/mwPSIb3kt_4

“It's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.” Trading car space for green space, bike space, kid space…trading pollution for people. Good trade.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah did someone tell this NZ citizen he's the main subject of 100% of the poems about murdering billionaires performed in that country in the last two days

The plan has just one policy in the transport space - the Government's target of 10,000 EV chargers. This policy will reduce annual transport emissions by 0.016%.

Remember this one? From around the time Elon replaced the great name with the dumb name. Very clever — the German ad says "protect wildlife before it's too late." HT WWF Germany @wwf.de

I wish we were resisting Simeon Browns homicidal legislation as righteously as Ontario ppl on bikes are

Every conservative columnist right now.

This is my west facing apartment, 4-8pm, many summer days. I have 7 fans and end up with a wet towel drapped over my neck. There is no way to install air con(if that was even a good idea - temperate buildings can be designed without AC)

New study predicts that AI will steal almost a quarter of musicians’ income within the next 4 years (Source: CISAC). The gaslighting is over. Artists now fully grasp the AI business model—which is to destroy their livelihood and replace human music with bot slop.

Blade Runner drastically overestimated how many questions were required for a positive Voight-Kampff test

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

#BusNews: Combining bike and bus travel is a part of everyday life in cities around the world, but a few weeks ago, this option was suddenly eliminated in Aotearoa. What are cyclists doing in the meantime, and when will there be a solution? Via The Spinoff: thespinoff.co.nz/society/03-1...

When fascism arrives in America it won’t know how to spell it.

#TheOthersWay… we went in with a PLAN… and it was truly groovy. Even if we couldn't get to all the bands we wanted, just doing the research upfront left me with a hankering to catch up with less familiar names, sooner or later. open.spotify.com/playlist/4NN...

The playbook being used to transfer NZ health system to offshore companies for profits and for taxpayers to provide financial support to them. #NZPol

Anonymous donor buys Te Tiriti handbook for every secondary school in New Zealand thespinoff.co.nz/books/29-11-...

This is a really, really bad sign for Aotearoa

In a city characterised by heavy traffic, London’s rapid response involves bikes

A super gratifying realtime watch.

Some comfort from the incomparable @tedgioia.bsky.social re substack resisting the musk media deathstar. But also disturbing to consider Musk's wider media ambitions - I know that its difficult to conceive beyond twitter's implosion but we should not be surprized to see such barbarism eclipsed

What might be an indicator of cycling normativity? Crowded House concert? - primo gig (it really was) - with, it has to be said a normie audience if ever you could find one. How many cycled? Just us wierdos. @greaterauckland.bsky.social @bikeauckland.bsky.social @pippacoom.bsky.social
