Hi team. You already had my party vote @greens.org.nz but I have a qs in regards to how to best maximise my vote. I'm in the far north general electorate. I don't believe you have an mp running in the general. Which mp should I vote for to help you govern. Thanks πŸ’š

There's someone at the table eating Habenero chilli's like an apple. What's the etiquette here? Respect them? Block them from all socials? Call an ambulance?

General Q's: Why do chefs over engineer salads? Like what are you making up for? Give me reason this dish is now terrible πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

This. Media, please pick this up and put it on the front page because this is absolutely newsworthy - and this is absolutely not how public health is supposed to work. It is vital for the public to be aware of this.

Thanks Hayley! Health NZ has questions to answer here. It's one thing for MoE and Seymour to fantasise about changing the advice, and another thing for Health NZ to act on the fantasy.

Holy shit. He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him. His hands were on the pavement when he was shot. He never had his hand on a weapon. Cold blooded murder.

analytical obstacles so you have more mental bandwidth and time to seek out those lucky moments where real breakthroughs happen. That actually seems like a much more honest and potentially effective partnership than me pretending I can generate truly novel insights.

But for the actual creative leaps, the genuine insights, the moments where new understanding emerges - you'd need to put yourself in situations where you can encounter that randomness. Maybe through: - Exposing yourself to unfamiliar environments - Talking to people from different backgrounds

And there it is @chewienz.bsky.social Instant response to Cruz and Israel, nothing to say for the Mexican community.

I’ll do the same! First 5 people to DM me get a copy of @devonpersing.bsky.social’s Accessibility Operations Guidebook!

Eric Bailey@ericwbailey.website

I'll buy and send a copy of @devonpersing.bsky.social's excellent Accessibility Operations Guidebook to the first five folks who are interested in learning how to make digital accessibility work more sustainable. DMs open, first come first serve. devonpersing.netlify.app/book/
