We need to boot out our the Israeli ambassador to NZ. Slaughtering, burning, decapitating displaced people living in tents in areas they were told were safe - absolutely sick behaviour.
Utterly horrific, hellish scenes playing out tonight in #Rafah — burnt bodies too hot to touch & a young child decapitated by the explosion. The apparent strike came ~2hrs after a #Hamas rocket launch into #Israel & ~16hrs after its claim of capturing an IDF soldier.

“Consider giving the money back to Blackbird and other investors (I’m one) as this is looking like a joke.”
Blackbird going for the “not quite an apology” for a startup it has highlighted in investor briefings, Kiki. The company pivoted to run a “girl’s club” with an all-male founding team, baffling women in the industry. afr.com/technology/male-run-… @jessicasier

Tried to go to work this morning on @AklTransport 🤣🤣🤣🤣After waiting for half an hour as packed bus after packed bus sailed past, I'm now WFH. Public transport in this city is a very unfunny joke.

Commute today 28 mins. Commute yesterday by public transport 58 mins. Perhaps that’s ⁦@AklTransport⁩ ‘s climate strategy, provide such a poor service everyone gets on their bike.

When you have the audacity to try and catch @AklTransport to work. Train #1 cancelled. Train #2 late, and packed to the gunnels.
