Why does New Zealand take such a long summer holiday break?
Are our summer breaks too long? And how did they become a Kiwi institution?

Zohran Mamdani invoking the ‘Just do it’ mentality. Love it.
Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

There was a time I thought I’d miss Twitter but, once I deleted the account, I haven’t looked back. If people want to keep a presence there, I really don’t understand but, whatever. It’s never again going to be what it was pre-that guy.

If work ever picks up again, I’m going to trade the RAV4 for a Toyota bZ4X. Running my everyday work vehicle on fossil fuels seems silly.

The most ridiculous housing design I’ve seen lately. On a block of land with an access lane behind, and they’re building a row of terraces, each one separated by approx 2m of empty space. 🤦

With the constant flow of stories relating to FENZ equipment failures, I'm left wondering who looks after equipment maintenance contracts for FENZ.

The illegal invasion of Venezuela is going to be devastating for Cuba
Para ter uma ideia da dimensão do ataque à Venezuela em toda América Latina: hoje, Cuba é altamente dependente do petróleo venezuelano - esse que os EUA estão roubando sob o pretexto de "guerra às drogas".
Cuba agora está à beira de um colapso total. E nem está envolvida no conflito.

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

Have just been for a bike ride up through Milldale. Ignore the haters, this is the ex-urban suburb we’ve been waiting for. The issue will be that people are expecting a 1960’s style of suburb. Well, Milldale ain’t that.

“Light rail & mass transit should be part of the supercity's long-term transport plan.”
Great to see RNZ highlighting @connorsharp.bsky.social’s work to keep this smart option on the table.
Also good: moral support from Cr. @hendowest.bsky.social. Will Council pick this up and run with it in 2026?
