We visited the incredible Ruapekapeka Pa site - where Māori were undefeated by the British Army in the last battle of the northern wars. Hone Heke and his military engineering genius Kawiti and 500 warriors faced a force of 1600 armed men and a far greater weight of artillery.

Greetings, followers of my reader! Cory Doctorow writing to you, and your friend has read my excellent 2025 book, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It, available at finer bookstores everywhere, and on monopoly electronic retail sites that should be condemned.

Great stuff Matt. Here's an example of what they tried last time. There was a lot more. It was a tedious process as each attempt to remove anything Māori - by a noisy minority - was thankfully swatted back by the majority. Every vote counts so good on you

I reckon second batch even better. Must’ve been karakia to Molly Metcalfe that did the trick 🤣

I got the late call to support Yorkshire pudding making for early Xmas dinner - youngest works hospo. First attempts were not good (more akin to a Yorkshire biscuit) but channeled my Yorkshire ancestry and I think I have produced a good enough effort.

Primary Recommendation: Reject the Bill Entirely The fundamental flaws in the Bill's approach cannot be resolved through amendments, as the underlying principles framework creates irreconcilable tensions with democratic governance, environmental protection, and social equity.

Watching Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presley. He was old persons’ music when I was young… This quote, not from Elvis but from chronicler of his fame about his risky comeback in 1968, stands for the ages. Sharing with love to all the risk-taking-in-the-name-of-art whānau here:

I’ve decided to keep mine up until Te Tiriti is fully honoured - so could be while 😢. And yes despite my initial doubts no one has touched it here either. Yay neighbours! Maybe this country has reached a tipping point of sorts?

Meeting @wardruna.bsky.social with my son. Amazing to hear Einar Selvik’s experience meeting with Tangata Whenua in Te Wai Pounamu in 2000 was in part a catalyst for his cultural journey that led to Wardruna. Such awesome people to meet.

Completed my submission opposing the proposed Regulatory Standards Bill. Painful but glad I understand and can argue against the full lunacy proposed. I've never submitted as many submissions to anyone in my life than over the last 12 months!
