Poster for Hinātore: The First Light art exhibition. Set on a bluish green background, to the right is a cartoon drawing of a face representing the Māori atua Hinātore. She is portrayed in dark purple with white outlines. Her hair is pulled back from her face by a head band and she wears a long thin earing in her ear. She has a moko kauae. Her eye is glowing with a blue-white light. To the top left in greeny-white writing is the word 'Hinātore' in large capital letters. Under that, in smaller capitals are the words 'The First Light'. Under that it says: 'An immersive exhibition exploring Māori pūrākau through bioluminescence, maho toi, and Western science.'

I just learned that data centers don't even NEED to use all the water they're guzzling up. It's all because the people making them refuse to make proper cooling loops, but it's cheaper to just turn all that water into waste. What the actual fuck. Want for efficiency is dead apparently.

You think the Greens having a typo in their tax policy document is bad? I heard Chlöe Swarbrick personally cancelled a half-billion dollar deal to replace our ageing interislander ferries via text message and then we had to pay Hyundai $144 million in contract breaking fees for it oh wait.........

And we should do the same here. Plus all that unused roof space we have, which just chucks heat and energy back into an atmosphere that _really_ doesn't need it? Solar and gardens! [Check out SUPA, btw :) supa.energy ]

"France passed a single law and instantly unlocked 11 gigawatts of #solarenergy — without using new land. In 2023, France's government mandated solar canopies over all car parks larger than 80 spaces. The scale was enormous: There are 400,000 parking areas across France #ActOnClimate #Renewables
