[#]Taranaki Maunga becomes a legal person.

“The Crown” give up the claim to own the mountain, & now share stewardship of the park with the region’s iwi, officially recognising the peaks as tupuna.

Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer spoke of the mamae – the deep pain – felt around the muru raupatu - confiscation - quoting #Parihaka leader Dr Ruakere Hond in Parliament:

“I tenei ra kua puta a Taranakii te herehere”

"Today Taranaki is freed from the shackles”

the endless stream of photos of Trump, Elon, Zuck, Bezos across the internet at the moment is stupefying.

esp. as the domination of the visual field is always a part of ratcheting up strategies that aim at shock/awe/disbelief.

please keep sharing posts on other folk too. i want to see images of people with integrity, courage, warmth, & altogether different sensibilities to these guys.

expected this christmas to be pretty muted, but gotta marvel at the levels of glee, joviality and hearty cheer that folk are giving Musk and MAGA tearing each other down. an unexpected burst of buoyant merrymaking at the end of the year.

Ahmed Ahmed in #972mag: https://www.972mag.com/israel-storms-northern-gazas-last-hospital

Jeremy Corbyn's words on these attacks say it all.

"Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

This is the dehumanising reality of genocide."

7.3 is fierce. serious for Port Vila. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wlylr4nrdo.amp

this last week in NZ seems active. feels like one small earthquake every other day.

just had a few days in Auckland after being diverted up there by a storm, & notice how hard it is to quickly find tailored disaster response plans when in a new place.

Buger King's #WeDontSnitch tweet fake, and yet its existence has been summoned into a peculiar half-life that will no doubt persist in the collective imagination. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/burger-king-we-dont-snitch

Can’t imagine the assassin thought his actions would drive up BK’s popularity. I guess this is what Gregory Bateson meant by the weirdness of second-order effects and the limits of conscious purpose.

The SOMA MESSEIVER by SOMA Laboratory is an ambient device for listening to worlds of wild radio. A short wave receiver that picks up different stations from around the earth and atmospheric radio signals, creating a listening experience akin to what the pioneers of radio communication might have heard.

as if the early 20th century listening to the early 21st century...
