There's no place today for political violence in the USA. Save it for Patriots' Insurrection Day on Jan 6.

He visits the forth largest economy in the world which leads the US on low emissions vehicles and renewables. He talks about cellphone bans and Kiwis visiting Disney. Fool. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350...

At a book fair. Have found a copy of the coalition agreement.

Comedy gold from ACT: "It’s about getting local government back to basics and stopping councils feeling like they need to suppress local productive activity like farming for the sake of the planet." ACT'll show the planet that farmers are boss. And our FTA and Paris Agreement partners. #nzpol

This will be an interesting day to reflect on in the future. "Battery cells at $50/kWh means the technology to decarbonize most of road transport globally is already here, as opposed to in some future scenario." EVs are cheaper than ICE now. Today.

China’s Batteries Are Now Cheap Enough to Power Huge Shiftswww.bloomberg.com We no longer need to model for when cell prices drop far enough to decarbonize road transport. That day is here.

If you are wondering how the Freeze Peach Union is handling the Wiles judgement, it is - of course - celebrating the Court's excessively narrow take on academic freedom.

Luxon should set a KPI for all his ministers to do an hour of reading a day. #nzpol

MMP has saved us from this sort of sillyness

UK Labour's last three vote counts, percentages and seats. Man that's one fucked up voting system. 2024: 9,650,254 / 33.8% / 411 2019: 10,269,051 / 32.1% / 202 2017: 12,877,918 / 40.0% / 262

Looks like in the UK, the harder right the tory, the smaller the Reform vote and the more likely the tory held their seat. Softer tories were vote split to defeat by reform to let in Labour or the Lib Dems. So, remaining tories shift that party further right. That's bad news.

“Power to Win is a story about the power of alliance, of joining forces with others across civil society who care about poverty wages and want to work together for change..” #Kikorangi

Power to Win - NZCTUunion.org.nz The Living Wage story is a story of power and a story of winning. But the story isn’t over. Wherever workers struggle on poverty pay rates we need to build power to win. That story goes on.

Keegan out. Looks like the tory headbangers are the ones keeping their seats.

Go on Jezza!

Should I assume AI just went crazy or wonder if prompts were used to make this happen?

This just builds on Winston wanting a policeman in every toilet. Jones wants a commissar in every classroom.

Lol. Jones cannot handle criticism or activism. Jones wants us to think that young people who disagree with the govt have been schooled to. They’re not stupid Mr Jones they know what racism, environmental destruction & inequity looks & feels like and they rightly direct anger at the perpetrators.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.
