I did an interview with Tom Scott that was supposed to be for a North & South story. But North & South is unfortunately "on hold" for the foreseeable, so I've ended up creating a Substack as a destination. It was fun to be able to just dump the whole thing in there. open.substack.com/pub/dubwise/...

Israel murdered five al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif.
They did so because they're now liquidating Gaza City, and want to silence the remaining witnesses.

As we face more flooding, made worse by climate change, it can be hard to keep track of the multitude of climate policies of the Luxon Govt. This is made harder by their misleading statements. So I have built a timeline up to June 2025. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

The Luxon Government claims they are serious about climate change. They say they are simply taking a different approach to cutting emissions, such as using price signals rather than regulations.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.
