I am planning to walk 42km barefoot in 24 hours to raise money for the Relay for Life - powered by pies and sausage rolls! If you can spare a few dollars to support this good cause: relayforlife.org.nz/michael-… #RelayForLifeNZ via @NZCancerSo
c'mon @cricketnz @blackcaps let people into the ground for the last hour of the test. If you are going to close the ticket booth, let people in!
Signed up to Relay for Life - will walk a marathon over the 24 hours, in honour of all those battling cancer and in memory of my Mum. Do something remarkable and get involved today, drop a donation here! relayforlife.org.nz/michael-… #RelayForLifeNZ via @NZCancerSo

This is huge. This is absolutely monumental. We just shut down an event honoring Exxon CEO Darren Woods. The whole room fled. We showed up & prevented this monster from uttering a word. We will resist him with all we've got. There is no choice.

It's not too late to be a climate activist - it will never be too late for that - but, sadly, it IS too late to "fix the climate" within business as usual
With talk of the dangers of #AGI, note that humans are smart enough to make food, water & housing for 8+ billion people.
Yet not smart enough to agree to distribute these resources across the planet.
Chris Luxon's new Govt puts New Zealand's celebrated oil and gas exploration ban under threat. Let's make it clear to the oil industry that they are not welcome here and will be resisted! Sign the open letter now to #ResistOil: greenpeace.nz/qawihx via @greenpeacenz

Well done sir @ediramaal
Dear @EdiRamaal, today at the UNSC you showed the world how to correctly handle Russia, its lies, and its hypocrisy. I thank you for steering the Presidency in such a principled manner.

Al Gore, "I find it shocking, really disappointing, I think Rishi Sunak has done the wrong thing.. Fossil fuel companies have used their wealth to slow things down.. They're much better at capturing politicians than emissions.. You can tell when they've captured one"

ALT @antonioguterres speaking at the United Nations. His quote underneath that says "To all those working, marching and championing real climate action, I want you to know that you are on the right side of history and that I am with you. I won't give up this fight of our lives." António Guterres
"the lived reality" . Very much hope this lawsuit succeeds, and other Governors and other countries begin their own lawsuits to seek remedy.
The state of California is suing five major fossil fuel companies over their contribution to the climate crisis.
Just listen to these unflinching words by governor @GavinNewsom.
History in the making….

A core political lesson no-one learns.
Hi @NewWorld_Thordn , the decision to oppose the cycle lanes in your street prioritising me in my metal car over the safety of the kids in your area cycling to and from school has driven me to shop elsewhere. Today that cost you $345. Get on right side of history stop the review

Something has gone seriously wrong when we have supermarkets, banks and resource companies posting record profits while Australians face a cost-of-living crisis.
We need our politicians to have the courage to take on tough debates on tax reform.

Thought this was an #aristotle quote but it's a precis of sorts from Will Durant.
