Very sad. Martin Phillips was a legend. So glad I got to see The Chills a couple of times but what a loss. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
Dunedin Sound icon Martin Phillipps dead at 61
"We ride the sound and see what happens," The Chills lead singer Martin Phillipps told RNZ in 2019. Phillips died today at 61.

Annoyed that to take my bike to the March For Nature I had to drive it over the bridge. Short on time so ferry was not an option today. #LiberateTheLane

Great speech from Richard Hills on the Auckland Council’s draft GPS. So hope he’s mayor one day soon. www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2024/03/29/a...

Oh, this such a loss for the country, journalism, climate action and obviously his family. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

So all John Key’s investment in cycleways under the last National government was wasteful spending. Good to know. Thanks Simeon. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/transport...

Looks like Morrissey has pulled out of his Auckland show this week. And with our country recently lurching to the right you'd think he'd have felt at home.

Fossil fuels, like nuclear weapons, are a major global threat. Watch this video to hearabout a proposed global framework to phase out coal, oil and gas fairly and forever.

The Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative
Climate change, like nuclear weapons, is a major global threat. That's why the world needs a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.

At the risk of over sharing here’s the gist of the nightmares I’ve had the last two nights… heavily laden with symbolism and content warning the second is really quite gory. #nzpolitics

Okay sign me up for protesting every piece of climate action repealed by the new government. They don’t get a free walk #nzpol

Hey all you fellow GenXers with 18+yr old kids, get your offspring fired up about voting and getting all their friends to vote! NACT sure as hell don’t care about students or low wage workers. #nzpol

Pretty eye opening Meet the Candidates meeting tonight in Beach Haven. Unfortunately two Destiny Church/Freedom NZ supporters quietly harassed a trans woman at the side of the hall until she shouted out and was told to leave for disruptive behaviour. #nzpol

Car makers spend millions more advertising big gas guzzlers than small cars or EVs www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

On top of this I’ve read the main reason manufacturers moved towards stupidly large vehicles in the first place was a US loophole in efficiency regulations.

Taken the big step of replacing the Twitter app in my dock with Bluesky. Demotion at this stage before fully deleting X.

Well I guess a first post this close to an election may as well be political… we really need young people to get out and vote this election, especially first time voters. Here’s a great tool from ActionStation to help them: triplethevote.nz
