🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny human (2?) is roaring: "WRONG WAY MUM! WRONG WAY!" as Mum pushes his pram away from the waffle truck.
Mum is insisting that he's just had some ice cream but Tiny Human has spotted waffles and the struggle (to get delicious food) is real! (1)

An amazing NZ story of a consumer taking a int'l jeweler to a dispute tribunal after they claimed the "lifetime" guarantee on a wedding ring ought to be for 12 years, since the average NZ marriage lasts 14yrs with 2yrs of separation.

(This is not the wildest detail.)

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

I don’t have to go far for my bird photography fix at this time of year. There’s a stormwater catchment three minutes’ walk from my front door, and when the harakeke that surrounds it bursts into flower the tūī swarm all over it. 🪶🇳🇿

So much of this govt's strike messaging is 'these selfish ingrates are paid well & don't have the moral right to strike' which is so far beyond believable reality that it's just a weird choice. If they just said 'no money left soz', they'd get more public sympathy than for this Evil Mr Burns stuff.

Risk of rapid escalation is very real. Political violence spirals unpredictably, & often strikes hardest at those already very vulnerable: wāhine Māori, & minority reps. Condemning violence against WP isn't defending his politics. It's defending a non-violence undergirding activism, protecting all.

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

A hopeful vision for the future - encouraging governments to be brave. Some are already banding together to protect information and a shared reality. Yay for journalists like this Nobel Laureate speaking at the UN.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there
for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

Using Treasury's estimates of the daily cost of alert levels and the Oxford Stringency Index in other OECD countries I estimated how much it would have cost to implement other strategies over 2020-22. My conclusion: our response saved lives and was one of the most cost effective in the OECD.
