Want to know a great place for American utilities to get a massive supply of batteries for utility scale grid backup?
Used EVs
America us falling further and further behind.

CW: Aussies buy Mediaworks
Once upon a time, this would've been big news in NZ. Australian media company Sports Entertainment Group has bought what's left of Mediaworks for a mere $130 million.
On the bright side, at least Murdoch didn't get it.

It seems like only last month when Seymour was imploring Gisborne council to 'Think of the multinationals' and go easy on forestry companies.
Oh, it was last month.
Seymour's argument is that multinationals won't "invest" in NZ if we force them to clear up their own mess. That comes out of the same box as 'The billionaires will leave if we try to tax them'.
I feel sorry for Gisborne council who were showing real leadership which would have fixed the slash problem. However the Atlas Network will be well pleased with Bishop's foolish decision.

Jack Tame has a fantastic interview with Professor Marco te Brömmelstroet from the University of Amsterdam on how to make city streets better and do much more for societies than move people around in private cars.
The biggest threat to children's lives in western societies is car traffic. There are other options.

The people who spread politically motivated fear myths and moans about life-saving use of N95 masks during the peak of Covid19 in many ways revoked their right to access the masks when forest fire smoke is choking their locality.
If it was so 'uncomfortable' to help protect others by simply wearing the masks at that time, their 'freedoms' should be respected by not 'oppressing' them with access to the masks now.
This is the kind of congruent accountability societies lack, thus enabling political manipulation and mainstreaming of distortion.

Man who threatens to burn down mosques surprised that Police have revoked his gun license.
It's just Tamaki playing the victim, again.

Looking to get some #newzealand based people together to fight against the planned social media age restrictions, both in parliament and in educating the public.
I'm especially interested in hearing from you if you're interested in #freesoftware / #floss / #opensource.
I'll set up a mailing list or Discourse later in the week.
Share my e-mail [email protected] if you know someone who might be interested.

Best opshop purchase ever! Kekspresse (biscuit press) from the Western Germany era.
So much fun to use 😁
Got any great cookie/biscuit recipes (plant-based preferred)? Send 'em my way... The biscuit factory is open for business 😆

If you're in NZ and want to send flowers, avoid Bloomex and its associated companies. They're a Canadian outfit which rips off small-town florists by dominating Google searches using sound-alike company names.
A greedy multinational with no ethics whatsoever. How unusual.
Buy local.

I suspect NZ is yet to feel or understand the full consequences of its immoral and unlawful support for Trump’s illegal war on Iran.
I regularly listen to the intelligent and honest words of Iranian professor, Seyed Mohammad Marandi who’s analysis of the current situation is incredibly accurate and forthright.
No one should be under any illusion of who the war criminals responsible for this idiot environmental, economic and geopolitical disaster are but to think our morally bankrupt moron of a prime minister not only supports this illegal war but actually expressed an interest of #Aotearoa #NZ joining the US and Israel in this “war of aggression”, which, by the way, is considered the “ultimate war crime” by the Nuremberg Tribunal tells you we’re on the wrong side of history. A fact that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Iranians.
Something Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi is always prepared to point out about both Australia and New Zealand. The ramifications for this immoral and dangerous alliance are yet to emerge but I suspect with Iran fully committed to preventing any oil destined to US, Israel and its allies pass through the Strait of Hormuz I suspect the consequences of our idiot PM will definitely not be kind to the good people of NZ.
I would happily support Winston Peters and Christopher Luxon being faced with an ICC investigation although I suspect they will be well down the list of western war criminals. #NZPol

On Thursday I watched this tarāpunga (NZ Red-billed Gull) on the edge of the ocean repeatedly doing a slow shuffle dance in the wet sand. It would shuffle its feet to make a wet puddle then stop and eat whatever little invertebrates rose to the surface. Then it would do its dance steps again.
Definitely full marks for style and smarts.

Hey babe, would you like me to fluff myself up and bob up and down for you?
I saw this pair of kererū in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens yesterday. It looks like love is in the air.

CW: How Airbnb is killing Tekapo
Pretty little Tekapo has 315 permanent households and 500 Airbnb listings. Tourism invading at this scale breaks up communities, inflates house prices so worker accommodation becomes non-existent, and you never get to know your neighbours because they're only in town for one or two days.
Many of the rentals don't meet compliance so the Mackenzie District Council is cracking down. They've appointed someone to investigate short-term accommodation listings and have already identified 200 breaking the rules.
It's not going to solve Tekapo's over-saturation of short term rentals, but it's a start.
I wonder how much tax Airbnb pays from its substantial NZ operation?

The latest short doco from #FrankFilms is an insightful, and depressing, look at why the rebuild of Christchurch city, NZ, after the earthquakes didn’t lead to the planned resurgence of inner city residents and communities. Spoiler: all the new inner city dwellings were built at the arrival of AirBnB into the city, and developers and landlords instead have been making lots of money renting out the properties to short-stay visitors. At the same time, there has been inaction by NZ’s national government to give our cities legislative powers to regulate the hotel-like businesses that are diluting real neighbourhoods.
There’s definitely a lot to think about here.

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. :-)
