We could have been having headlines like below. Instead we have a government hellbent on making everything worse in order to line the pockets of the wealthy. "Deaths linked to air pollution fell by an estimated 40% in London over the five years from 2019, according to new analysis."

Early this morning, daylight saving began in New Zealand for another year. This is, I think, a good opportunity to highlight two Kiwi innovations: it was the first country in the world to establish a national mean time and a New Zealander invented DST. How did that happen? Well, read on... 1/20

1. The Gender Definition Bill: what could it actually mean? The proposed law would define “woman” as an “adult human biological female” and “man” as an “adult human biological male”. Those definitions would become the default across NZ legislation unless another Act specifically provides otherwise.

Amazon's own balance sheet presents the most compelling evidence that we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money. 1/
Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Conjuror,' a painting depicting a medieval con artist playing a shell game for an audience of astonished peasant rubes. The image has been altered: the conman now has Jeff Bezos's grinning head, and the mouths of all the peasants have been replaced with inverted Amazon 'Smile' logos, so they are now frowning.
