Climate, bicycles, tech, West Auckland, hopeful. My Garmin app tells me I'm 43 years old. My music app tells me I'm 74.

There is a 4x4 culture developing amongst young (mostly) men in NZ. On one hand it’s great. They get outdoors and socialise. On the other hand, they seem to think this is acceptable.

If a UFO landed in front of you now, and an Alien got out and said β€œTake me to your leader”. Where would you take them?

I don’t like being the one to say it, but we need a speed limit on the north western cycle way.

NZ should really close our airspace and EEC to US military aircraft until there is an apology from the United States. It wouldn’t bother them much but at least we could be on the right side of history.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

It's aways blown my mind how much carbon we burn to move carbon around. The IEA have said this "A single journey by a large container ship filled with solar PV modules can provide the means to produce as much electricity as would be generated from coal onboard 100 large ships."

The threat of invading Greenland is an attempt to distract people from the fact that the Epstein files still haven’t been released.

It seems to me that you can’t get away from assholes without getting away from roads.

Third contractor sentenced over 'corrupt' $1m roading scheme Frederick Pou pleaded guilty in May 2024 to corruptly giving gifts to former Broadspectrum roading contract manager Jason Koroheke.

Best thing we could do to reduce domestic air travel emissions would be to make Auckland the capital city.

I think it would be more accurate to say she was "Killed by someone driving a car."

A cyclist has been hit by a car on the Te Atatu on-ramp this morning. Judging by the police presence, it must be serious.

New NZ cruise season begins amid gloomy expectations Visitor numbers are expected to fall 20 percent on last year, which were 20 percent down on the previous year.

I wish the media would stop reporting this as bad news. Less cruise ships is a good thing. They are an environmental disaster and the jobs they create are the shittiest jobs.

Forestry directors say court-ordered clean-up will make them bankrupt Three directors say they’ll probably go bankrupt if they have to pay for the clean-up

I mean... good. Bankruptcy and some prison time would be better.
