The editorial in today's ODT is entirely devoted to Martin Phillipps and is a very good read. (Online version paywalled).

Pity it's subscriber only @odtnews article on Nobby Clark's (or his partner's) letter to them defending Vandervis is next level editing - their use of "[sic]" after every use of "I" or missing macron is epic www.odt.co.nz/southland/ma...

Ok, still can't post videos here, so sorry my timelapse is over on twitter. But here's some pics of the Aurora Australis I captured off the coast of Dunedin last night. -4°C windchill with howling wind, I hunkered down in the tussock, and with passing light hail, I slept for 2 solid hours!

There was a big jump in NZ national wastewater last week off a low base (a 70%) increase for the week ending 21st off the week before. As the data released today has no movement in hospitalisations in that week (in particular late in the week) I think it is likely back to school spread in young

Walking around Poneke in the biting wind I realise that the original planners screwed up and should have set up the street grid at 45 degrees to the wind. Perhaps after the big one inevitably levels everyone they could fix this in the rebuild

100 years ago the Olympics wasn't just sport, there were art events, poetry, sculpture, even town planning. They were removed because they weren't considered 'amateur' ... They got rid of that requirement a couple of decades ago, why isn't the art back?

Just a reminder of history to fellow NZers. In 1976 over 25 African countries boycotted that years Olympics because of us! Yes, us! New Zealand! Because we had refused to cut sporting links with South Africa. #nzpol #GenocideOlympics news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi...

South Africa took Israel to court and won! The International Court of Justice (ICJ) finds Israel guilty of apartheid! The Hague ruled Israel: - is an apartheid state - is annexing the West Bank - is occupying Gaza Israel is officially an apartheid state.

What's going on is my nightmare - I just retired, but for the past 14 years I've been working for a company that has more than a million boxes in people's homes - pushing a bad software upgrade and creating a million bricks would have killed our company.

The King of England lies dying and one of his sons has been exiled. A princess has vanished. Plague stalks the land and the Treasury has been plundered. NOW is the time for strange women lying in ponds to distribute swords to form the basis of government.
