In other words, he's comfortable with burning the world. He's an ecocidaire #nzqt

"It was ironic to see Chris Bishop and the Prime Minister complaining that there aren't enough electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles on the used car market.
"That's because they collapsed the importation of electric vehicles when they canceled the Clean Car Discount.”

I cannot believe National have around 50/50 chance of leading the next govt. I feel NZ can shake off many of the collation’s bad decisions, but if they get a second term I fear many of them will bed in.
How can they be so high in the polls?

Unless things change between now and ~midday, it looks like the Regulatory Standards Bill will have its third reading this afternoon, starting at around 3.00, and then be passed into law in the coming days. Because it's a Thursday, the Prime Minister almost certainly won't be there for it. #NPZOL

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives.

Aotearoa is home to almost 28,000 species found nowhere else on Earth. To fast-track hazardous chemicals in New Zealand — as BusinessNZ is proposing — risks this unique biodiversity, the health of our communities, and our reputation as an exporter.

The way they see themselves is always fragile, people who like themselves don't tend to go looking for fights
