You might remember late last year I wanted to do an Intro to Public Policy paper at Vic, to gain a good understanding of the public policy process with a view to writing good PP. My enrolment agreement is here with fees of $1496.40 I hope to crowdfund.

There it is. Always, always follow the money. When insurers say they can't cover you because of climate change impacts you can finally understand it is real and is causing harm today.

It’s true that (white) people are upset about the state of the US now that police violence has extended to people who look like them. And also Nazis and the KKK ilk have a long history of offing race traitors also.
This is absolutely it, and of course it's nothing new. These are the same people who were Klan members and killed white civil rights activists just as eagerly as they did Black ones. Maybe this time we can hope that the killers will face justice.

life ending and infrastructure destroying floods are now an annual occurrence in new zealand. there is no political recognition of this new reality, and thus there is no resourcing for its prevention. we are not ready

The tragic loss of lives in NZ flooding events this week are climate change deaths. Media and govt are avoiding the topic.
Leaders and commentators must acknowledge the emerging reality of ordinary summer rainstorms carrying volumes of water akin to tropical cyclones of previous decades.

Meanwhile, in the middle of all this while people are knee deep in water, the absent PM proudly announces an election date…with no mention of any events either here or overseas. So out of touch, he’s on another planet.

Parts of NZ are underwater and I opened this app hoping to see anyone talking about it but I just scrolled for 2 minutes and it's entirely American politics and the NZ general election so??? I don't know. But there are people in Northland calling it worse than Gabrielle.

So I hadn't bought something for my own stocking, and my kid is the sort of kid to find it un-plausible for there to be a whole entire stocking there missed by Santa. And I needed to replace a bottle anyway... so this year Santa brought Pāpā an entire bottle of whiskey and a blue V. Merry Christmas!
