We are actively contributing to Ukraine's defence, though, so isn't that (ongoing) condemnation of Russia's illegal invasion?

Weird, people say that ice cream helps you cool down, but it's clear that buying ice cream raises the temperature?
This needs to be posted from time to time. Bottom line, the more you build the more housing costs. Correlation is not causation but my god!
Community note
The observed correlation reflects reverse causation: high demand raises prices and prompts more construction, not vice versa. Studies show increasing housing supply moderates rent growth and lowers costs citywide. furmancenter.org/news/supply-sk… americanprogress.org/article/build-…

The proper scientific name for the gas pedal in an electric car is "accelerator". However, the scientific name for the other pedal is also "accelerator". Scientifically, "accelerate" means to "change speed", and both pedals do that. Actually, "accelerate" means "change speed and direction" of the vector. The third accelerator in the car is erroneously named the "steering wheel".
What do you call the gas pedal in an electric car? 😳 In our Tesla and the kids just asked me… Yo, I’m stuck?!? 🤯🤣

I am simply asking people nominally of the left to consider that a woman can do a job of her own without serving her husband's agenda, making her own mistakes and being wrong for her own reasons without an anti-left plot Leaving aside the fact that he is no longer in that role

i feel like this goes for many cities and many city centres every time the death of the city comes up in the discourse
Picked up a 1994 New York magazine on the street randomly as free stuff. Talking about New York being back, citing falling, crime, clean subways, improved city parks and praising Rudy Giuliani.

The case for Super Rugby-based regional councils. The perfect map for regional government already exists. It was drawn by a rugby administrator in 1995. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/11…

Sad. I don't think one regrettable moment should cost you your job. We need less cancel culture, not more.

ā€˜Flatting’ as a concept really only exists in a small handful of rich countries and the full OECD data suggests NZers are the world champions at it. The share in even Australia is substantially lower!
It's interesting how few young people live by themselves in many countries. I think cost is a big issue (though not the only one).

New England counts as part of the Anglosphere when it comes to regressive planning policy.
You really haven’t lived until you’ve sat for hours at a New England town meeting where’s there’s a proposal for - new apartments - a school getting built - putting lights on the sports field

There is now no need for the Media Council either. Complainants to both it and the BSA are generally politicised whingers. (e.g pro Palestine, anti-abortion etc) We have a pluralistic media market. Tht shld be enough.

All renters should pay a direct fee to Felicity Wong to compensate for the hardship caused by having to share her city with others.
There is absolutely no world where this is happening. It's 100% not the job of Wellingtonians to subsidise the rates of heritage property owners. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360998…
