⬇️ Having to curate a feed has mine same/same, almost every day stuff that takes days, weeks or forever to appear on any legacy media Thanks to bsky I already know the words of Washington Public Lands Commissioner Dave Upthegrove and that Romania blew up a rock in the Danube for nuke power water
My feed includes * Current events, national security * Medieval history * Religion * Naturalists * Pop music and jazz * People who think hard about many things * Food * Chemistry * Europe * Central Asia (Would like more of the last two) * Poetry * Astronomy Probably more.
So Luxon claims he has official advice that Data Centres won't increase energy costs but, when the Greens requested a copy of the advice via an OIA, his office says there wasn't any advice and Luxon was just repeating their talking points, then Nicola says MBIE gave her advice ....🤡 #nzpol
Luxon backpedals after office says 'official' data centre advice actually 'media talking points'

Mother of god we have a deep wide vein of stupid How is anything about Covid, from it's source to it's vaccines to it's long term effects in ANY way controversial We nearly got terminally screwed, science saved us in spite of ourselves And this should shock and shame us all bsky.app/profile/jenk...
Love to have a rando on here basically demanding to see my medical bloodwork results because they can’t believe that long covid is real. This is a proported leftist. There really is a problem and right wing people arent the only ones who are in denial. Have those conversations with people.
This policy would directly lead to physical abuse of disabled and neurodivergent children. Tell your friends. I'm absolutely serious.

Tomas Kubica has spent three years selling raclette cheese delicacies from his Christchurch food truck, but is increasingly concerned about unsavoury behaviour by vandals, burglars and people begging for food.
El has the usual flood of detail and analysis of why it matters, but the payoff towards the end is clear, simple and blatant.

What a twat #nzpol Luxon said if businesses were not “retooling and radically disrupting” their business – “you ain’t doing your job”. He said he knew the “reality” of running a business. “The last person I wanted to ever talk to as a CEO was the Government.”

Luxon demonstrating the shallowness of NZ corporate leadership types - promoting uncritical adoption of AI, believing research to only be of value if it can be directly commercialised, and spouting 'Wow, look at China!' nonsense.
In authoritarian communities, there is no place for independent thought or action of any kind, pointing out mistakes gets you sanctioned, fired, or worse, so you shut up and suck it up The cranked nexus of AI and Trumpian Fascism is just the apotheosis of both

Unless Labour rolls out an amazing disability policy, as a disabled person, I’m begging you all to vote for the Greens. So far they are the only party who would massively, materially change my life, and the lives of disabled & chronically ill Kiwis, for the better. @nzgreensglobal.bsky.social
Pretty much, on it's own, just this, would be a good reason to up stakes and cross the ditch, rather than trying to get into the thick skulls of the CoC that everything they think and believe is not just superseded, it is suicidally stupid. /rant Elegant Watch it

This is actively embarrassing and I thought I had no more capacity for embarrassment where this government and science were concerned
the current NZ govt is so anti-science that they've changed eligibility for the Prime Minister's Science Prizes to rule out awards to people doing basic science eg from 2026 the MacDiarmid is for work with "potential to generate econ, health, social, or env benefits for New Zealand" #nzpol
