Hey Wellington peeps important PSA on the Transmission Gully speed limit change.
When you get to the bottom of the big hill at Paekākāriki the speed limit DROPS BACK TO 100 for a bit. They've been intensively patrolling that stretch between Paekākāriki and Raumati and issuing lots of tickets.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

The Māori Seats in parliament are for Māori people. They are a Tiriti-based right not a race-based right.
This is why at Rātana Pā we launched a member's bill to entrench Māori seats - the bare minimum for protect dedicated Māori voice in our parliament.

When my colleagues encourage me to use ai products, I ask them why I would want to stop using my brain intentionally like that. Everyone in my family ends up with some form of dementia or other eventually it seems. Granny did logic puzzles daily to stave it off but it came for her in the end

Turns out The Speaker, Gerry Brownlie, who has had hysterical conniptions over dress standards and a haka or 2 in parliament because they didn’t follow the rules hasn’t thought the rules applied to him for two decades.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

Mike Hosking says you should blame Labour for our high energy prices, but despite what Shane Jones told him, the oil and gas ban did not cause that problem, it was already in decline (as Kirsty Johnson has shown in her excellent reporting).
