System-wide fragility pushes global fuel crisis into dangerous new phase

"What started as a crisis in just crude oil supply has morphed into a much wider crisis in the delivery of fuel. ...

New Zealand spent $9 billion on fuel imports in the year before the gulf war began, and two thirds more on this June quarter than last years’. That’s equivalent to 60 percent of all dairy export returns – just on fuel. ...

The November election is now close enough that there is little chance of fuel shortages occurring in New Zealand before then, due to the lag time for supplies already on the water to New Zealand and the stocks already held locally. However, if concerns about supply do manifest in the next few months then the merits of contracting directly with producers may become more apparent."

How AI Could Be Used to Revolutionize Democracy and Challenge State and Corporate Power

"The same technology that could create the most powerful surveillance state in history could also create unprecedented tools for decentralisation.

For centuries, political organisation was constrained by the limits of human coordination. A community could debate, but only a limited number of people could participate meaningfully. A movement could collect information, but analysing enormous quantities of information required specialists. A cooperative could manage itself, but as it grew larger, administration became increasingly difficult. Scale almost inevitably created hierarchy.

Artificial intelligence changes the economics of coordination."

There’s a city in New Zealand where the bells ring when the royals come back to town 🔔

"There’s a city in New Zealand where the bells ring with the royals come back to town! 🔔

The royal northern albatross are some of the largest birds in the world, we headed to the royal albatross centre on the tip of the Otago Peninsula to see these cure balls of fluff (and their parents) in person! 🐣

Āwheo (the royal cam chick) has just fledged, and is off into the big wide world (I’m not crying, you’re crying) 🌍

He’s probably flying around Aotearoa, spreading the word to vote toroa/northern royal albatross for bird of the year 2026! In forestandbirds annual election, you can vote for 5 different manu! 👑

This year, toroa are getting one of my votes 🗳️

Supplementary material by: DOC, the royal albatross centre, predator free, Mitchell Roberts, and University of Otago.

Everything is f**ked, everybody sucks

"Five things smarter people than I suggest we do to combat our climate anxiety.

  1. You can't change the world, but doing something helps
  2. Feel your f#cking feelings even when they f%cking hurt
  3. Don't doomscroll and obsessively read the news
  4. Build community, get to know your neighbours
  5. Don’t give up"

Stand up for nature and defend conservation land!

"Stand up for nature and defend conservation land!
Two years ago, we marched for nature.
Now it's time to do it again.

📍Albert Park
📅 Saturday 19th September, 1pm

The Conservation Amendment Bill would make it easier to exploit and even sell off public conservation land. From forests and wetlands to rivers, coastlines and mountain ranges, the places that belong to Aotearoa are under threat.
Lets stop that.

Crazy supermarket price variance

Just a couple of items I buy regularly, checked via the Grocer website.
The Pak n Save prices in store were not even temporary deals, so I doubt they are loss leaders.

If Pak n Save can still make a profit at those prices, how much profit must the others be making, even with slightly higher costs.

We spent 30 hours up and down in Parliament speaking out against the Government’s new environment trashing laws

>"And on the 4th day we finished the committee stage of RMA replacements. Always great to work with arenawilliams [Arena Williams, Labour MP for Manurewa] and lanpham.nz [Lan Pham, Green List MP, based in Wellington] and appropriate that we are all in orange for this photo - everyone needs to vote this government out!

>We spent 30 hours up and down in Parliament speaking out against the Government’s new environment trashing laws.

>The two bills will make it easier to pollute our rivers, damage the places we love, and shut communities out of decisions about what happens in our backyards.

>Once eels are dead, a wetland is gone, or a community loses its voice, it’s hard to get it back.

>Some things are worth protecting. That’s what Arena, Lan, many of our colleagues and I fought for through every one of those 30 hours."

[OC] Just a reminder that you can speak up for those that can't speak for themselves

Our government seems pretty set on digging their claws into land that's been set aside for conservation
