Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

I hear it’s very apolitical - they have an even balance of right wing and left wing.

Is your boat anywhere near York? Do canals go to York? Asking from Aotearoa. We need to have a base in the north but I’d never thought of a boat.

I fear we might see a new alignment between a radical right death cult and a rural revivalist "simplicity" drive, which views collapse and a return to "organic" communities as a solution to decadent urbanism. A century ago this convergence led to a very bad place. www.monbiot.com/2023/10/04/t...

In the 2 most recent elections I have been Returning Officer & thus was not allowed to have public Reckons™️. This year I will be on holiday in Europe and thus remoting in to do my voting from there. @jpdanner.com's reckons have always been good enough for me, and I thoroughly agree with his top 3.

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.

What are these diesel motorcycles RNZ refers to? “Large diesel motorcycles, over 750cc, would be charged the highest annual ACC levy of $638.36” www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

rnz.co.nz

Motorcyclists put rego on hold in protest against ACC

Higher levies are fair because motorcycles only make up 4% of the fleet and 25% of the cost of crashes, ACC says.

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

If, like me, you joined InternetNZ last year to ensure your point of view was not overwhelmed when it came to board election (thanks) and AGM voting, then it's coming up time to renew your membership to continue that mission. If you didn't join last year, maybe you'd like to this year?

Last year a coordinated attempt was made to capture InternetNZ. It looks like there is an organised group preparing to try again. We need members to join InternetNZ by March 31 - so you can vote in this year's elections and AGM. Join here for all of $21 per year: members.internetnz.nz

Criminalising homelessness isn't the answer - it's a cruel distraction from real solutions. The government's announcement to expand "move-on" orders across Aotearoa is deeply concerning. The following skeets on why this approach sucks. #Homelessness #HousingCrisis #AotearoaNZ #Whakahangahanga

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
