Auckland is opening it's inner city loop CRL, and it's really nice, amazing stations, beautiful public infrastructure. I'm glad it's here. But it was also a colossal disaster. It cost many times more than it needed in order to satisfy a broken model of private contractors and failed cost controls.

And that’s what we got. A weakened but not replaced Luxon. His own MPs didn’t support him unanimously but there was nobody else with enough support to replace him. If only Labour ran a campaign or politician with charisma. I mean it worked running Jacinda. But I guess they don’t like winning. 🤦🏼‍♂️

We’ve been missing the point talking about “decentralized” social media, says New_ Public’s @blaine.bsky.social. In this conversation with @rabble.nz, they talk about what’s needed to create a healthier, more human internet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TX8P...

The point of these so-called decentralized protocols is not to separate us. It's to allow us to collaborate and cooperate…

It's less about this sort of atomization and more this cooperative approach to how we think about society on the internet.
