I’m just reading about National’s straight out proposition to privatise electricity and force state generators to pay them for transmission, and it really is the end of state-owned enterprise if they come back next year. Fuming 😡 #nzpol

I’ve finally joined the solar club! Didn’t get switched on until very late afternoon, but even with the sun on the horizon, we were generating more than we needed. I can’t wait to put it through its paces.

Any #nzpol insiders know why MIhirangi Forbes is out at RNZ with immediate effect? I sure hope it’s not because she asked too many questions of a certain smarmy little man boy.

I went exploring in Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum of New Zealand, and found a whole area I’d never seen before. I kept gasping with joy around every corner too; it was so much fun!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I wonder if anyone is specifically tracking how Teslas record video from their surround cameras 24/7 and upload them “for security,” and how easy it would be for the muskrat to use that to track people with image recognition.
