3/10 knew 2, I think

He'll probably get one anyway.

‘Something is triggering this’: The alarming rise in bowel cancer in young people Experts say the surge in under-50s is unprecedented, with microplastics among possible causes being investigated by scientists.

Great that they're researching this, but it seems a bit premature to be "announcing" it's micro-plastics causing this, without completing the research first. #nz #science

Superb photos, with a very 70s vibe! Very authentic. That washing machine brings back memories of the one my mum had when I as a young kid, and the warnings about not putting my fingers in the wringer!

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

No evidence that Tylinol causes autism.

"If you want a living wage, get a better job" is a fascinating way to spin "I acknowledge that your current job needs to be done, but I think whomever does that job deserves to be in poverty." - Vivian @suchnerve

The 2025/26 Living Wage rate is $28.95. It’s an hourly rate. Set apart from the minimum wage, it’s worker & whānau focused.

The Living Wage considers basic expenses, & gives breathing room for rest, activities, or saving for a rainy day. It’s good for collective wellbeing, & our economy. #nzpol

Seems that constitution doesn't mean much.

I fear for the future of the grammar Nazi.

This is an amazing read.

This hits really hard.

It's also (unexpectedly) a really useful explanation of the way that trans experiences have been pathologised in very specific ways (and why that happened).

Whether you're trans or an ally, I highly recommend putting 10 minutes aside to read it.

Thanks for that. An amazing article. There's a lot people don't realize about memory, and it's incredibly damaging.

It's already obvious to anyone not in his cult.

Thanks, but unfortunately her cancer has metastacized. Treatment is to prolong survival only.

Feels like deja vu. Sitting in Auckland hospital with my wife for her first round of chemo, three years after we thought it was over. #FuckCancer

Business needs to factor in all costs, and not externalise them. That's got us where we are with climate change.

So, basically you want to find out the State of Health of the battery. But fir that money, provided you have enough range you'll save money on fuel (but have to pay RUCs)

Might be perfect then, especially if you can charge at home.
