@freedomgirlnz Notre Dame is owned by the Govt of France. The ChCh Cathedral is privately owned. Thats apples with oranges.

15 years ago, NZ lost its most iconic building the CHCH Cathedral , and it still isn't rebuilt. 6 Years ago Paris lost much of the Notre Dame Cathedral, it is now fully rebuilt. This total inertia, paralysis by analysis and lack of leadership symbolises everything that is wrong with NZ. stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360981…

Shocked, I tell you, that the NZ Broadcasting Standards Authority rejected my complaint about their gender identity guidelines, because they have different "views". No margarita for me ⬇️

Pro-Tip...if you are upset about the casting decisions of a movie and not the existential pointless of life, the inevitable decline and death of all your loved ones and the intolerable misery of @FlyAirNZ safety videos that make me want to walk to Dunedin...you are an idiot.

Japan just turned thin air into fuel. No oil rigs. No drilling. No pipelines stretching across oceans. Just water, CO₂, and a process that flips combustion on its head. ENEOS Corporation, Japan's biggest oil refiner, pulled it off at their Yokohama lab. They built a demo plant that sucks carbon dioxide straight from the atmosphere, splits hydrogen out of water using renewable energy, then fuses them through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into liquid hydrocarbons. The result? Real, usable synthetic petroleum. The kicker: this fuel is "drop-in ready." That means it works in the cars you already drive, the planes already in the sky, the pipelines already in the ground. Zero modifications. They didn't just brew it in a beaker either. They ran actual vehicles on it. It works. Think about what that unlocks. Countries with no oil reserves could manufacture their own fuel using nothing but sunlight, wind, and the air around them. The geopolitical chessboard would flip overnight. Sectors that electrification can't easily touch, like aviation and heavy shipping, suddenly have a clean fuel path. There's a catch, though. The process is hungry. The same electricity it takes to brew one liter of synthetic fuel could push an EV about 200 km down the road. ENEOS quietly shelved the project in 2025 because the economics didn't math out yet. But the science? Proven. The blueprint exists. Someone, somewhere, will crack the cost problem. And the day they do, the oil map of the planet gets redrawn. - @ScienceFocusonX

Labour and Chris Hipkins’ policies always seem to revolve around the word “free.” Fees free. GST free. Free doctor visits. But very rarely do they seem focused on the harder work of actually improving systems, driving productivity, reducing bureaucracy, embracing technology or delivering materially better outcomes and ideas to drive the country forward. Short-term cheap vote buying is lazy. Come up with some GOOD ideas. @nzlabour

@sensitive_mike @PronouncedHare I do not employ ex public servants and not quietly that isn't a minority viewpoint - but that does not mean they are unemployable. The challange will be that most believe they are above the type of work most of us do. They think themselves more valuable employees than they are.

@PronouncedHare But you think they’re all useless seat warmer paper-shuffling pen-pushers. So you think private sector won’t want them.

Just arrived into the office at my bureaucrat job in Wellington. They've run out of oat milk. Sent an email to HR with my they them pronouns in email signature. I'm now having a mental health break for an hour, before the trans Maori treaty karakia hui begins.

Someone's triggered. Genotypically, XX chromosomes=a genotypic female. Again (and this will trigger you and the scientific wanna be @SwipeWright) but: 1) The genotypes are not binary, genotypic sex is bimodal, not binary. 99% of people fall in XX/XY, but there are exceptions, which by definition means it's not binary. 2) 1 gene on the Y chromosome dictates phenotypic sex development. SRY. Variation in SRY can result in physical deviation in sexual dimorphism, even if you're XY. (Swyer syndrome). So the XX/XY genotype ≠ typical sexual dimorphism (in all cases). Sexual identity and genotypic sex typically track together but...ARE NOT THE SAME AND ARE NOT INEXTRICABLY LINKED!!! @elonmusk you are to wealthy to be this ignorant on biology. @SwipeWright, you have no excuse, you're just not that bright... There is no debate here, those are facts.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@UN_Women Please define precisely what is a woman. XX chromosomes?

Economics is pretty simple. Private property. Free trades between people. No state should try to make the market efficient, the market is efficient by design. And that’s it.
