possums kick ass. this is important to know
![photo of an opossum crouched in the corner of a slightly opened garage. over the picture is the text:
Hello, I'm the Opossum in your garage [doue paw print emoji]
• I came in because it's 12°F
outside and I have no body fat
• I am not aggressive-that hissing means I'm terrified
• I eat 5,000 ticks per season (you're welcome)
• I am nearly immune to rabies-my body
temperature is too low
• I will leave on my own if you leave the garage door cracked tonight
Please don't call animal control. I'm not a pest. I'm a Lyme disease prevention unit, just trying not to freeze.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cn2d7mov6fegaea7zgycgsfz/bafkreigjc3hj636z42w6f5z3zjdrwf7focknek3u5kfdckuhimgmucxwdq@jpeg)

Imagine explaining to the electorate that we might have to commit more of our real resources to resilience and less to the things that people don't actually need - jetskis, yachts, toll roads to the summer bach, catering for fking baby showers, McMansions, and heli-pads. We've lost the plot.

life ending and infrastructure destroying floods are now an annual occurrence in new zealand. there is no political recognition of this new reality, and thus there is no resourcing for its prevention. we are not ready

I would not have asked for advice or permission to sign a fucking letter supporting the independence of central banks. This is ust one of many reasons why I am not and never will be the governor of the Reserve Bank.
RBNZ governor sorry for signing letter of support for US Fed chair without seeking advice
The new governor got a dressing down from Finance Minister Nicola Willis.

#nzpol Data released by Stats NZ today shows that the cost of living rose at its fastest rate for 18 months. Prices rose for 80% of items in the CPI basket, meaning growth in prices was broad-based. Minimum wage workers are now facing a 3rd year of real terms cuts in wages. A thread

Yday I was listening to the brilliant Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, from 1978. Douglas Adams saw it all: the awful fake chattiness & uselessness of ChatGPT, Alexa etc & how over-confident the algorithm designers are. “Genuine People Personalities” was a joke, but it should have been a warning.
