Nothing says ‘celebrate the achievement of female athletes’ like inviting a male athlete who advocated against equal pay to talk about himself and the completely different sport he plays.

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

The Four Stages of Climate Denial are:
1. Climate change isn't real
2. If it is real, it isn't us
3. If it is us, it's not that bad
4. If it is that bad, it's too late to do anything about it
Climate change *is* real.
It *is* us.
It *is* bad.
And we *can* fix it.
The same commentators who used to say 'nothing needs to be done' about climate change have quickly become the ones saying 'it’s too late to do anything'. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/02…

Farmers make up:
- 1.16% of the population 🙋💁♀️
- 5.5% of GDP 🥛🥩💲
- 48% of greenhouse gas emissions 🐄🐑
- 70% of NZ's contribution to global warming 🌏🔥
A price on livestock emissions is reasonable and rooted in science.

Every time I see the National Party talking about state housing, I can't help it, I have to dig out the graph I spent six months making in 2019

Seeing the #PakistanFloods2022 from afar, it felt difficult to comprehend the sheer scale of the flooded areas. This map shows the satellite derived extent of the floods compared to the size of #NewZealand.

The product "triad" model can never be balanced if the PM's responsibility is to the company (profit for the business), the devs' responsibility is to the company (stable, scalable codebase), and only the designer's responsibility is to the user.

Yet another example tonight of why the whole premise of a closed Super League is bullshit. Villarreal are from a tiny town, and have beaten Manchester United, Juventus and Bayern in the last 12 months. Why would you willingly lose stories like that?

So the basic process:
- The first day you have symptoms is your day 0, whether or not you are a household contact.
- If you're not already a household contact, go get a test.
- If posi you and your entire household start isolating, treating first day of symptoms as "day 0"

It's the scariest word in politics but we need to say it: rationing. We hear, and feel, that we on the cusp of WWIII. If that’s true, we should take a page from the home-front of WWII, which also required a sudden transformation of energy systems in North America, UK, + elsewhere

Fascinating thread. In short: we've vaccinated far more of our elderly and vulnerable than Hong Kong has – and we've used a single highly-effective vaccine. The difference in outcomes is dramatic.

The BBC are setting up shortwave radio frequencies for the people of Ukraine to keep informed with the news as their TV towers are bombed and internet services attacked.
You don’t get that with a Netflix subscription.

Don’t seek courage for it’s own sake.
Cultivate it because it enhances your other virtues.
Many people do bad things not because they are bad people, but because they lack the courage NOT to.
Seek courage because it allows you to do the right thing in difficult situations.

"More than 450 scientists on Wednesday called on the executives of major advertising and public relations firms to drop their fossil fuel clients and stop what the scientists said was their spread of disinformation around climate change."
