I would just like to remind everyone that the slimy Atlas operative cancelled the network of community organisation supply good lunch (apparently βwokeβ to have nice food for kids) in favour of a global corporate to serve up disgusting and occasionally dangerous slop to our tamariki.

Is Paul Goldsmith βembattledβ yet?
#RailNews: KiwiRail has shared photos of the completed oceanβthemed mural at Maungawhau Station.
The mural was painted by Jessica Rukea, RVST and Joey Plutoski during the summer rail shutdown.
The other βshockingβ factor (Iβm not shocked) is that our full time health professionals arenβt paid enough (& living costs are so high), that they are basically living pay to pay to survive.

It's reassuring that despite the cost of living crisis, the sustained recession, and our general malaise, our splendid banks can still make $30m a day in profits. But, wait, don't judge... (1/2)
Anyone know if any NZ channels are planning to screen "Dirty Business", the docudrama about Britain's broken water system and all the death and disease it's caused?
Feels extremely topical and timely - and from what I've glimpsed, it's a powerfully told story: www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...
I suspect the National-led government will discover that overseas events do influence the New Zealand economy after all.
New Zealand has more sunshine than Germany.
But only 1 in 35 homes here has rooftop solar.
Australia? 1 in 3.
Why? I tried to find out - despite some strange secrecy

βThe impact on disabled people and older New Zealanders is immediate and severe.β
One of those reads that underline there are very real people on the other end of this governmentβs consistent targeting of vulnerable communities - and those people are badly hurting.

Do I have any illustration artists who could help us develop some concept sketches? Paid mahi, if we can scrap together funds. Any suggestions?
βThe Salvation Army is warning that families are starving and it wants the government to urgently increase food aid.
Its latest State of the Nation paints a dire picture of worsening child poverty and unemployment, rising family violence and stubbornly high cost of living pressures.β #nzpol

UPDATE: we've received a statement from Auckland Transport on Green Lane West. It's promising: they're hearing loud & clear that people want to be able to bike safely here.
Our voices work! So it's a great time to let AT know they're on the right track,Β and the two-way option deserves a fresh look.
The school term only started at the end of January, so that's at least one incident a week.
All on Simeon Brown's head.

You know, I know we here have a little bit of a tendency to quote post things to dunk on them.
But this is the most wonderfully kiwi piece of reporting Iβve seen in forever that itβs a wonder someone hasnβt done a βmeanwhile, in New Zealand β¦β post about it.
A new tee - I wanted to make something positive for stormy times. I'll take pre-orders up until March 10th and print them after that. Pre-order means it takes a little longer than buying something off the shelf but it'll be custom screenprinted, sent directly from me to you. xtotl.bigcartel.com
