More councils consulting kids about play spaces is crucial imo. Teenage girls often want something different from their public play areas than basketball half courts and skate parks.

Turns out it’s ’growth, growth, growth’ but the thing we’re growing is cruel incompetence
What an absolute fiasco. Peters and Willis have blown $507.3 million of our tax dollars,and it's still estimated to rise.
These "prudent fiscal managers" are burning cash with nothing to show for it.
Aotearoa can't afford this rotten govt.

The creativity and cleverness of @everyonehateselon.bsky.social is so great - love hearing Dan’s take on this
The anti-Tesla movement has sparked a group called @everyonehateselon.bsky.social, who have created several fake Tesla ads.
But, while these ads are creative, do they change the way we feel about brands such as Tesla?
Hear AUT Lecturer Dan Fastnedge’s expert take on the power of advertising.

New modelling reveals full impact of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs – with the US hit hardest

The way Tamatha Paul, easily one of the most inspiring politicians in Aotearoa right now, is being treated by both political leaders and the media is biased and wilfully misses her point.
Tamatha Paul is completely correct, write three criminologists including AUT's Grace Gordon.
Police beat patrols make some people feel unsafe. Paul is being shouted down not because she said anything ridiculous, but because she said something sensible, they say.

Pancreatic cancer killed my mom back in 2010. This rules.
Goosebump producing news this week out of Oregon Health and Science University in the diagnosis of pancreatic CA.
They developed a groundbreaking blood test, called PAC-MANN. This new test can find pancreatic cancer in just 45 minutes, even in its earliest stages.

-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
