Great work from Fisher, as usual, on digging deeper in the Golriz Pak'n'Save thing.
Troubling that at no point in the communications he's identifying do police seem to even consider that what's been reported to them simply isn't a crime.

I freaking love all the bike lanes in Christchurch. They are everywhere!
If I were to ever lose my mind and leave my Te Kuiti oasis I would gladly live here and just bike everywhere. And I say this as a car guy.

What's with the right wing's obsession with AI art and logos?
I see it as a metaphor for their ideology. It's a cheap, quick, and lazy solution.
They don't care about actual artists or graphic designers who put effort and thought into their work.

I’ll just leave my Austerity narrative flowchart here in case anyone needs to persuade a Lefty pundit/politician not to try to compete with the Right on debt hawkishness. Remember, all routes down that path lead to austerity.

The US leaving the UN would be terrible. But if they do it, we should seize the opportunity to remove their (and everyone else's) veto before they are allowed back in.

Speed limit changes.
Two things:
1. More speed = more accidents = delays. Where's your 3mins now Bishop?
2. *Before* the 3mins "savings" my traffic app is showing me a 6min delay on an average day, on this 39 MINUTE JOURNEY Charlotte used to illustrate her point.
What's your point Mr Bishop?

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

#BHN So there are only two possibilities for Elon Musk’s “salute” today
He’s either actively signaling US white supremacist voters, or, he isn’t smart enough to know that “innocently” thrown his hand up like that (twice) will be seen as actively signaling those people #nzpol
