New Zealand/Aotearoa needs to get back into the 'protectorate' game.
Let them seek shelter under NZ flag, tarrifs to US aren't too bad & peaceful relations with Canada.
NZ can have the fishing rights π
Agree π― and they should be asked politely to pay 0.5% of all NZ profits into Kea conservation charities.
@chrishipkins.bsky.social pls make them do it when it's your turn in charge !
I think this is a suggestion that for some work committees are not the best ππ cc @drjoeabah.bsky.social
So there are people having a good year & then there's die hard Everton fans like @paullecomtephoto.nz
I imagine whatever else is happening they're pinching themselves regularly because their crew is *finally* playing outstanding football.
**Meanwhile nervous Arsenal & Chelsea fans rn π¬π¬ππ¬
Significantly better than average CoP in Belem & can say as a constituent passing thru that Dr D was putting in the work. Hope it finishes well !
An image of the scorpion core of the milky way above my home town of Dunedin NZ across a harbour. A multi exposure blended image showing an orange glowing city & a magnificent cluster of stars. The dark bits aren't where stars aren't, it's dust clouds in the galaxy.

A year ago I played with exposures to see if the switch to LED lights in Εtepoti Dunedin had made it more possible to see the Milky Way above the city lights...
A bit of exposure tomfuckery & sure enough, in August our galaxy appears horizontal & low to the horizon.
Good Morning Everyone πβπ€οΈ Enjoy Your Saturday π«Ά
6 months down 3 years to go π₯΄
I canβt believe we are catching up.
She's right....
I went for a day trip with Ferg Campbell to the Starth Taieri, we knew it was cold, but was treated with fog & a hoar frost down in the valley. Ferg shot the grain silos, I went for a wide angle tussock & grain silo composition. He might be right, it might be a little too busy - but I couldn't resist
3 silos outside Middlemarch Εtepoti

If you're in the area (Arrowtown / Queenstown) you should come & see our @winterstellar.bsky.social exhibition, it's out best ever & we are very proud of it. I have 3 pieces in the exhibition & every image is beautifully printed.
(you can buy them too rangitako.com/shop/p/speed...)
so I've seen that clip and I think Thiel was trolling the way that I troll about how the Star Wars prequels are actually about women's health. Star Wars is great fodder for revealing the things you care about. Like I think reproductive healthcare should be free; Thiel wants to put everyone in debt
Random q - how much are they pricing per ton?
I was quite surprised to hear a story about nitrogen fixation when listening to the news on NPR. π
Itβs important to always ask yourself βwhy am I working so hard?β and question the tradeoffs you are making before itβs too late.
I now have this mental picture of A & E departments and all the folks who thought they'd try a scooter in the snow ! Safe travels !
Best driving choice in my life was driving to Park n Ride Oxford & walking into town amidst 5cm-10cm snow.
It's all the drivers who have no clue how to drive on snow that is both understandable and remarkably messy. Only takes 2 to block each street π«£π«£
This article should be a much bigger deal for the US (and other countries).
You can't have intelligent policy or political positions on the economy if you're measuring the wrong things

If you are a writer (or someone who sits at their desk/somewhere even less comfortable all day) then this is my favourite yoga workout and it feels like a massage after!
All of @yogawithadriene.bsky.social is amazing, but this one is a great one to do regularly.

Looking on the positive side
1. He's united Canadians and Canadian states (near miracle)
2. Made Trudeau popular (Def miracle)
3. Canadians & Mexicans still pretty united (hat trick !)
It's getting really hard out there for @bencollins.bsky.social - what's left for parody ?
Tim of Onion fame was having a bit of a laugh at what was negotiated - pointing out the $100m (US) would buy a medium level hockey player π π«£
Quite important that Canadians don't laugh too hard at the size of the very big deal that DJT has negotiated.
Ah...never thought about EVs and fording. Are their engines sealed up neatly enough to make them superior at all this ?
The United States are exceedingly disunited on this issue π
Unfortunately the dismemberment of USAID is likely a test run of vandalisation across the US govt.
Respectfully biscuits and gravy does look a bit like prison food.
Maybe they could jazz up its appearance a little ?
