The arc of history bends toward upzoning. Let's talk about music and urban development.

Politics. Music. Coffee. Erratic hot takes. Occasional sportsball (Arsenal, Phoenix, Stabæk).

Currently: working on Te Whare Hangahanga.

Traffic Engineers do go to school, right? You have to study something to do that job?

Re Tadpole, found this Rip it Up Gig Guide in the library collection which shows Tadpole doing concerts at a bunch of Auckland high schools in 1998. So at least I know that was real. paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/periodicals/...

Make your 100,000th scrobble the same as your first ever scrobble.

"Simmons’ parents helped, he says, with discipline, by feeding him, and by allowing the pair to live at home with them, paying $100 a week each in board."

Why are you parroting Luxon's "back to basics" nonsense? If nothing else, could you please differentiate yourself with your choice of words?

I don't think this is a big "we go to war" moment. This isn't a sign that the Government is about to announce a referendum. Seems to me that officials have been instructed to prepare in case we reach this point, not that this is now more likely than it was a week ago.
