Love living on Auckland’s north shore, but it’s getting increasingly hard to get into the city via public transport. Ferry runs half as often as it did in 2021 and hasn’t been on time in weeks. @AklTransport @FullersFerries

Good old Twitter. Getting worse everyday. So long SMS 2FA - making its service less secure for millions of users.

Every year the #Apple #UX gets a little bit worse. The Apple ID experience now is just atrocious.

And a perfect example. A year ago this sort of thing just worked. @Apple

A nice example of government not taking #climatechange seriously. stuff.co.nz/national/politic…

Half-price public transport and fuel tax cut to end in March

Cheaper public transport fares will be ditched in March but the Government also looks set to make a call on whether it will keep discounting taxes on fuel.

Check out this 100m stretch of bike lanes in my North Shore Auckland neighborhood. Hilarious! @BikeAKL @GreaterAKL #bikelife

Second time this week I’ve been sideswiped on King Edward Parade by an @AklTransport bus while cycling. Some really dangerous driving.

A study of 29 countries found that the U.S. accounted for almost 97% of *all* firearm deaths among kids 4 years old or younger. One main factor in the staggering death toll: the nearly 400 million civilian-owned guns in the U.S. n.pr/3a2tw5U

Have read lots of books teaching my kid to read. This is the first one I’m convinced was written by an AI.

Immigration is America's superpower, so this should be raising alarm bells for policymakers: The United States is no longer the top choice of foreign talent when asked where they would move for work.

I fear that by waiting to open #NewZealand to international tourists until it’d become a political decision the current gov’t has given up all leverage to make that tourism sustainable.
Want to see what #climate leadership looks like? And what happens when staid corporates don’t take #sustainability seriously? smh.com.au/business/companie…

Inside ‘Project Arise’: Cannon-Brookes’ secret plan to take over AGL

This is incredibly sad and incredibly avoidable. Sadly, an issue here in New Zealand as well. #pedestriansafety via @NYTimes nytimes.com/2022/02/14/us/pe…

Pedestrian Deaths Spike in U.S. as Reckless Driving Surges (Published 2022)

Fatalities are climbing to record levels two years into the pandemic. Authorities cite drivers’ anxiety levels, larger vehicles and fraying social norms.

I hope my eventual retirement announcement is half as genuine and endearing as @WSJ @MiddleSeat writer Scott McCartney's. wsj.com/articles/travel-flig…

If you’re into #urbanism and city planning, it’s a fascinating time to live on Auckland’s north shore. I get this kind of flyer once a week in opposition to investment in multi-family dwelling, bike lanes, mixed use development, and pedestrian friendly design.
