Today I moved an amendment to ensure we have a BDS approach to our new Disaster Resilience Fund. This means we will not invest in Israeli government bonds or businesses that support the genocide or illegal occupation of Palestinian land. It's the right thing to do. #nzpol

🧠 The more I see AI-written pieces on LinkedIn and across the tech industry, the more convinced I am that long-form reading and writing regularly is a critical practice to keep from thinking and sounding like everyone else. I will fire the newsletter up again, and prob move off substack 😔

My tattoo artist brother always been the outspoken one, from local government corruption (see: ABA, Avondale), all the way to genocides on the other side of the world. Been saying it with his whole chest since the beginning ❤️ #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

What's everyone's method/technique/system of consuming daily or realtime news while minimising bias and creating an echo chamber?
Keen to hear how others are doing it before having to build something myself.

is it better to remove "Palestine" and "genocide" from your keynote so that it goes ahead cos its a big tech event? or take that as a sign that a talk that included those words should make a stand given that choice? idealistic sure, but I thought that would've been the stakes, no?

some folks say they want “peace” but what they seem to want is submission. Silence. Never justice. Subjugation of “the other” doesnt move them esp-tis the unsightliness, the inconvenient mess they resist. The peace they seek is their own-a return to tranquility undisturbed by livestreamed suffering

Some interesting metrics from the first week of the “Local Harvest” project on coshop.nz:
All local produce was harvested from farms and ready for pickup within 24 hours ⏱️
Kaicycle, an urban farm in Wellington, started the harvest at 8am and delivered by bicycle by 9am.

I'm just a simple country conflict tracker but someone once told me attacking a neutral flagged civilian vessel in international waters was a grave crime against the international community that only Iran-backed Houthi terrorists would stoop to

If the media does not attack this issue with the longrunning ferocity of the media attacking any given brown woman MP who is not actually in government for breathing wrong, I will be wondering about stuff out loud.

I was running a hackathon with a bunch of high school students for techweeknz, they had to solve local problems picked out of a hat, per team- my team picked this very problem: "local food distribution system".
🙌🏽 this looks very cool, check it out y'all.

The new coshop.nz website is up.
It’s way more rushed than I kinda hoped and I cut some corners there but finally have some local producers on there so we’re actually going to be doing farm-to-fork!
65c/kg 🧅 , $1.30 lettuce, fresh herbs etc 👀

why are people like this? I'm sort of done with the era where there's some acceptable reason why people aren't equipped with some fundamentals. what happened to just being shit, and needing to improve? we excuse everything away until it comes for you, and THEN it's not cool.

people who don't know how to ask for something annoy me. trying to frame things to look like me, spending time and effort for something that only benefits you, as something that benefits me, is... a good way to keep it a solid "no".
