Kinda crazy how underutilised the space at the Michael Parekowhai Lighthouse is. Prime real estate and just a few seats?

Does Te Pāti Māori want to be in government? Because every action lately says no. Get your house in order or kiss a change of govt goodbye #nzpol

Doing contract work is so fun because I get to just go for a little daily bike ride and see the river to clear my head

Are they gonna permanently pedestrianise Mercury Lane? Feels like it makes sense. Been closed all this time with construction. #nzpol

Bro I don't want news in 90 seconds. I want credible, intelligent, and accessible news in whatever time it takes to properly cover the story. #nzpol

Wouldn't it be incredible if the delay was because they end up sanctioning and doing the right thing in the end? Forever an optimist

I miss my high-density, well-insulated, affordable life in Toronto 🥹🥹🥹🇨🇦

Went to Rosedale Bakery to try the Pie Awards' Supreme Winner, a Potato Top with cheese and potato gratin centre. Classic taste really levelled up with cheese and the gratin. Just a really well made pie!

Another waste of time headline. With the stall in major construction, we'll be lucky if we see any road cones anymore.

Walked up Hakarimata Track. First Bush walk since coming home. Nothing like that fresh air and a nice view at the end.

When Toronto weather bangs, it really bangs. Finally some blue skies after a miserable week.

Some more views. Everything was designed by the architect: building and pavilion, early PATH network, furniture, lighting, cabinetry, etc. Such lovely attention to detail.

Toronto's Open Doors is this weekend. I visited the Toronto Dominion Centre's 54th floor, the old exec floor. I think this was the first tall af building in Toronto and they've kept it fairly true to the original style. It was gorgeee. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Carmel and Chris are slaying this budget response speech. "Shame" "Where is it?" #nzpol

But damn the standards at Three have slipped with the shrinking team. Consistently inconsistent audio quality, terrible video quality with shots looking over-exposed and at times, low quality. Even with a phone camera there's no excuse for this indoors and static.
