I realize there's a high bar but it could be argued that Raymond, who actively killed all of Exxon's renewable energy experiments and emissions research *after* company insiders measured oil's climate impacts, was one of the most evil CEOs of the 20th century www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The NZ parliamentary complex is widely known to be haunted. We're overlooking the very real possibility that lobbying documents from tobacco giants and GHG emitters being mysteriously dropped on ministers' desks - and perhaps even minor legislative drafting? - are the work of civic-minded ghosts.

OH COME THE FUCK ON.

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

I've seen many tone-deaf corporate fauxpologies in my time, and this is shaping up as one of the all-timers. Featuring classic hits like: - WE'RE the real victims here - Just trust me bro - I'm totally prepared to step down except no I'm not www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The chief executive of beleaguered patient portal says he is open to standing down if required.

In my sleep sometimes - not regularly or often, but a few times a year - my dreaming brain will identify songs that technically work as a mash up. Today I awoke with Björk's Bachelorette x Sisqo's Thong Song ringing in my ears.

You know how back in the '60's, Russ Meyer would make movies called things like "Journey to The Planet of 1,000 Babes" and "Revenge of the Toxic Buxotic Karate Babes?" Well, one of those babes lives upstairs from me. And now she's in trouble and needs our help! youtu.be/rsk6V4mXIBM

'my job is Email' 'my job is Spreadsheet' This is comms erasure. My job is Canva, PowerPoint and seven thousand Chrome tabs.

NZ climate journalism summed up in 2 articles: RNZ: govt guts climate disclosures regime, a key tool for delivering Paris Agreement commitments www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... Also RNZ: govt lifts burden on finance industry (actual climate change impacts not mentioned) www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

New Zealand guts climate policy it bragged about on the world stage

The law was once held up internationally as a model of transparency. The government just weakened it.

Moriori people, tchakat henu (tangata whenua) of Rēkohu, the Chatham Islands have much to celebrate with the first-ever Moriori language week kicking off this November.

First-ever Moriori language week a ‘long time coming’

Look, it's the least of our worries given the NZ govt's decision to weaken climate change targets BUT as a committed pedant i cannot let David Seymour claim unchallenged that he was the only MP to vote against the current target. Because he didn't - he missed the vote, lol. The bill passed 119-0.

I feel like screaming. Mis/disinfo is hobbling every part of the climate change response - the premise (CC is a hoax), the cause (govt weather control), the means (the UN wants to ban meat), adaptation (managed retreat is a govt land grab), to emergency response (scammers targeting ppl in disasters)

Comment: The Government's methane announcement is the policy equivalent of a steaming cowpat on cross-partisan climate consensus.

I'm spicing up my work day by dropping mispronunciations into meetings and seeing who pulls me up on them. So far no one has reacted to me pronouncing awry to rhyme with jewelry. Time to escalate: pronouncing whack-a-mole to rhyme with guacamole.
