Nerd fact (I’m a marine biologist after all), when luciferin and luciferase (gotta love the biblical names) join together, they react with the oxygen in the air to make an oxidised complex. After that, luciferin emits a photon, and that is what you see when it breaks

There it is

Supermoon? Super-late-moon more like. I'm sitting on the deck looking east for the last 2 hours and no sign of it! Wake up moon!

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

We've watched two Hollywood movies on two consecutive nights. I am over watching emotionally stunted Americans make bad decisions.

The first was a comedy so at least I wasn't supposed to take it seriously. The second was a drama and even more ludicrous.

Hear hear.

City is made of council Please vote. I do not know how else to say this.

Luxon is the kind of man who claims every entitlement he qualifies for whether he needs it or not.

Luxon is the kind of man that takes benefit entitlements away from 18 and 19 year olds, saying that "the world doesn't owe them a living."

Luxon has created an economy where they can't find jobs.

Some of the government’s earliest decisions are coming back to bite it Hindsight is 2020, and that was five years ago.

And to think, prioritising employment would've helped the govt as well as our young people thespinoff.co.nz/politics/03-...

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith warns government prepared to remove tikanga Māori from court rulings The minister claims New Zealand's "bespoke" legal system could discourage overseas investment.

His reasoning for removing ancient law (tikanga) from NZ Law is so lame it must be a smoke screen for something else, perhaps he's just anti-Māori.

Needs a fix for 2026

He's a child.

What's the solution?

Looks like it was pretty fleeting.

Trees domesticated humans. Who knew. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I was in a bike lane today and a car turned left in front of and across me. I had to emergency break. Who has right of way I wonder? Are bike lanes the footpath or another road lane?

"I'm rigged to make me look bad!"

Ok. I'm calling it. Luxon will quit as PM 6 months before the next general election saying he's satisfied with the work he's done, sorted.

I suspect he'll take a lead from his hero Key and resign 6 months from the election.

How was it done before Tomorrow Schools?

Agreed. Stuck in a moment.

Glad to see you feel no workplace pressure to wear whatever t shirt you like.

Every policy from ACT ruins our country a little every day. Polling stations should have an air of rejoicing- revelling in democracy ….any thing rhat makes voting harder is a right wing strategy to suppress voter turnout, ‘ that in itself is bad. People who don’t think everyone should vote are bad.

Don't read the Herald

Sure. I'm just saying don't fall into the typical left wing trap of attacking left wing parties for the terrible things that right wing parties do as if it is somehow their fault.

Why blame Labour and Greens for bad policies brought by NACT? They can scream blue murder but it won't change the murdering that this govt will do.

I think people get so frustrated by relentless bad shit they look to blame others because they are more likely to listen.

This govt are a bunch of dropkicks.
