Here's one for you, @therealyplac.bsky.social
The gap between the Toyota and the wankmobile isn't big enough to walk through let alone get a mobility aid through
#yplac

Photo of a double-cab ute (Toyota?) parked across a footpath with its bonnet out onto the road obstructing a nominal cycle lane. There's a small red Toyota parked behind the offending vehicle and the gap between them is too small to walk through, forcing pedestrians onto the road. What a cn*t.

Current methane target: -24 to -47% by 2050.
New methane target: -14 to -24% by 2050.
Also, two year delay in critical decisions on carbon budgets and ag pricing permanently canned.

Auckland voters mostly either voted for the incumbent (with a few exceptions) or didn't vote at all. You'd never know who to vote for if you weren't paying attention (and most people don't, they just want their rubbish collected and free parking).

Well, that didn’t go how I hoped it would. To say I’m a little disappointed in the NZ voting public’s decision on Māori wards is an understatement. Here’s a thought about aspiring to the bare minimum (& given our #nitrate problem even that might be too much)
