  1. Grunt work
    The last naturally aspired V8 on sale in New Zealand, the outgoing Y62 Nissan Patrol makes sense in the Gulf as a dune-basher, but does it work on Kiwi shores? @jackyan tests it

  5. I released Let Time Keep Ticking - Vol 3 of my music archive project about 3 -4 weeks ago but yet to promote it, however, seeing it's #BandcampFriday it would be silly not to give it a nudge to the #Bandcamp supporters out there on #Mastodon.

    This eclectic collection of songs and music I wrote and recorded on 4 track between 1991 & 1993 in Wellington #Aotearoa #NewZealand has been remixed and remastered from the original 4 track recordings.

    The mind is bright, but the body's slow
    The high's so high, but the low's so low
    The mind is bright, but the body's slow"

  10. Tauranga airport just reminded me of this useful piece of Māori life advice.

    I reckon aspiring to the ingenuity of an octopus is still a pretty good, until you get cornered. Then, fight like a shark. :-)

  12. A bit of a shock this morning here in the #farnorth. A light patchy frost in Mangonui. Only the second frost we have seen in 12 years! #aotearoa #frost

  14. "The recent announcement that South Island-based organisations received less than 10% of the funds granted in the recent tier 3 and 4 rounds of the Arts Organisations and Group Fund was confronting and upsetting. ... I’ve talked about this on the radio and in print, as have others, but there’s more to say outside quotes and soundbites."

  18. RE: cloudisland.nz/@paulh/11703562

    This is what the #NZPol Coalition of Corruption is trying to convince #NZ is going to make #Aotearoa #NewZealand great.

    While they are telling NZ the fast tracked DataGrid #Ai center is optimistically estimated to add a mere 0.1% to NZ's GDP at start up levels the Datagrid centre will require 280 megawatts (MW) that's 6% of NZ's total electricity generation.

    What is not reported however is DataGrid chief executive Remi Galasso expressing a goal to ramp up its capacity to 1000MW which is approximately 10% of NZ's total electricity generation.

    Never forget this coalition of morons fast tracked this environmental and economic disaster and are in the process of fast tracking a further 3 more Ai data centers in NZ.

    NZ must change this corrupt government before it's too late. #DitchThePricksIn26

    It’s becoming more difficult to understand that there’s still enough people in #Aotearoa #NewZealand to get the NZ First Nazi and Cookers Party over the 5% electoral threshold to enter #NZPol parliament.

    Here’s hoping the idiots supporting this pack of scoundrels and rogues wake up to the reality of who they are voting for.

  22. Wow! Well, I learned a LOT about #Ontario this #SolarPunkSunday! I probably won't do another geographic focus for a few weeks (maybe it will be monthly?). Next week I'll be focusing on #Harvesting , #PreservingTheHarvest , and also #GardenPlanning ( #Australia and #Aotearoa / #NewZealand ), and whatever topics we come up with. Thanks to @MaQuest , @arielkroon (for some great Ontario resources), @jblue , and everyone who posted and boosted #TheFutureIsNow !

  24. I suspect the #NZPol PM won’t be too busy to talk or take disciplinary action against NZ’s foreign minister Winston Peters, who has brought international shame to #Aotearoa #NewZealand and has put NZ’s $40B+ annual trade with China at risk by being a senile racist moron who’s well overstayed his time in parliament, after November when Luxon will be the fool formerly known as Prime Minister and Peters the cooker formerly known as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

    Here’s Luxon disagreeing with John Campbell on Morning Report today.

  26. @Salty @cousinsd @BobLefridge

    A curious fact about which religious group traditionally produce more offspring due to the religion’s traditional belief of not using contraception and that religion’s influence on population growth.

    NZ’s Catholic immigrants have significantly boosted Catholic numbers in New Zealand, particularly in urban centers like Auckland where roughly three-quarters of practicing Catholics are now born overseas.

    I’m just waiting for Winston Peters and NZF to outlaw Catholicism in #Aotearoa #NewZealand #NZPol 🤡
