Saints preserve me from low code/no code solutions. They are invariably trash. To get them to do anything worthwhile you have to be able to write the damn code anyway, only in some poorly conceived ticky-boxy opaque UI.

Pols journos sneering that “everyone knows about the Taxpayers Union” and ”it’s just lobbying” are telling on themselves; the fact is that the public *doesn’t* know about the TPU‘s antics and that is because of the failure of mainstream journalists

Happy labor day (USA). What's one of the oddest paid job you've had? For a couple of years, I was the Official Observer at the Townsend Observatory, showing randoms off the street the marvels of the universe on clear winter Fridays. This was before it suffered from a bad case of Earthquake.

All I gotta say is that people who are criticizing any staff of a website for blocking users of the website need to spend a few years as staff of a social website and experiencing the unhinged abuse you get for it and see how fast you resort to mass blocking too

A year ago, ministers met to consider tightening NZ’s pay equity law. Their decisions went further than officials had advised, hardening the policy to the point some groups were cut out from ever making a claim. Why? And on what evidence? They won’t show us. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

It all starts with a short visit to the lovely folks at IRD, who in 2021 started a research project about high-wealth individuals and how much tax they actually pay. One of the outputs from that work was a report in 2023, that was pretty damning www.ird.govt.nz/hwi-research...

Hi perhaps you would like a little break from the news in the form of an essay about my trip to Centralia, Pennsylvania, the town that’s been on fire since 1962—a place where surprisingly I found a great deal of hope, wonder, and mystery.

Honestly, the IPCA report into the police (mis)handling of the McSkimming case makes for jaw-dropping reading. But it’s 135 pages long so I’ve read it for you. Here’s my report on one of the most serious failures of integrity in modern policing history⬇️⬇️

For years, police leadership ignored warnings about Jevon McSkimming. The IPCA has set out the chain of failures.
