Yup, charities law got changed a few years ago to extend obligations to people whose names weren’t on the board but had significant influence, for exactly these scenarios. Although this one looks more like tax will be the way in.

A perfect fit for TOP. Don’t think they need to (and can’t?) articulate their principles because objective and rational something something.

I do hope everyone from overseas who has been participating in Bird of the Year appreciates just where the winners, Karure, live. There was a whole lot of logistics involved in bringing them back from one breeding pair. www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

If, as seems to be the majority view here, you dislike the prospect of a world where human journalism and analysis is displaced by AI slop, have the self-awareness not to act annoyed and offended that the human labor of writing sometimes requires compensation.

@nzkatya.bsky.social Leaving today’s issue aside - that question also needs to be asked of mainstream media, because they heavily reward game playing with attention. Sadly I suspect most ‘ordinary’ swing voters are still getting their news from traditional places.

I initially assumed that these would be a meh game tie-in but they're really not (I've only read the first couple). Well worth a read if you've played the game and they would stand alone as a sci-fi / archaelogical quest in their own right. Must start the second two now.

@billbennett.bsky.social Indeed. The analogy I use is tight liquor controls for U18s but regulation-free caveat emptor for everyone else. Meths-laden premix cocktail some dude called M Mouse sold to the bar? Tough luck, the bar can’t be held responsible, you should drink in more reputable places.
