On top of all the genocidal Israeli actions in Gaza, l cannot fathom their obstruction of aid trucks now that the ceasefire has been signed. Do they not care what any other country thinks? Are they retrospectively hiding stuff? Or is cruelty the whole point? It's war crime on war crime

This is serious, must-read journalism.
NZ First MPs keep proposing laws they have no intention of passing, and the media falls for it every time.

Thanks to @royalsocietynz.bsky.social for awarding me the Callaghan medal for Science Communication. Thanks to my many supporters, NZ communities for being curious, & the many people in various agencies who really do want to use evidence in decision-making. This is critical now, more than ever. 🌐🌏🧪

I harp on this a lot. Apologies. In Niue everyone has a family garden and a job that seems to be 4 hours a day. No unemployment/ sickness or other benefits at all. Free medical and dental for life. Free education, water and WiFi. Everyone lives with families. No ageism. It efficient and happy
Please do have a read of some of David Graeber's words on the policy of Universal Basic Income.

Paul Jacques is a force of nature. Scientist, planner, pack mule, shooter, trapper,ukulele player, impossibly hard worker. Was my project overseer at Nu'utele Island Samoa. Island Conservation is the best organisation l have ever worked with. And the most successful.
It is important to remember that GOOD things can happen quickly too ❤️
"After only one year, the transformation is dramatic", says a conservation manager about the growth of a colony of 2,000 sooty tern seabirds. Previously, invasive rats had destroyed their eggs, making it impossible for the native birds to persist on the islands. www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/inv...

Yellow-legged hornets have been found Glenfield and two other spots in Auckland. We don't want these here! They're twice the size of our other introduced wasps, kill and eat honeybees and lots of native species, and have a nasty sting. www.mpi.govt.nz/news/media-r...

It's all about distraction
The planet is alternatively flooding and burning, racism and misogyny are rife and the Crown is about to steal the seabed and foreshore all over again. And the important Parliamentary discourse? Whether men should have to tie bits of cloth around their necks at work.
