@jasonhickel It would be great to make this history accessible in an interactive with sources, like was done for James Cook and ‘revisiting’ 250 years in the Pacific https://t.co/gqX4sLoeIs

@AlecTang_ @nzpolice Had a different experience. I used the Police 105 web form at 8pm for a non-emergency and got a call from an officer the next morning. Maybe because it was a hit and run by a car when I was on my bicycle with three+ witnesses

As a right wing moderate, I should have done more. I'm pro-business, against govt waste, etc. I ignored the dehumanising speech of those who agree with those goals, because it was easier than confronting it. I was wrong. I'm sorry.

To all the supported the white supremacists from Canada to come to our lands and spew their racist colonising hatred. We know who you are, we saw you then and told you to stop. You are contributors. That includes the @NZFreeSpeech & all media outlets that promoted them.

@vomalley Any students from Auckland Grammar School Vincent- the school Grey founded?

"governments and organisations worldwide have tended to favour commemorating the slave revolts and abolitionist movements which combined to end the slave trade, rather than the more historically distant and politically less comfortable story of how it all began."

[Charles Onyango-Obbo @cobbo3]

As world ignores the ignominious 500th anniversary of the Transatlantic slave trade, historians uncover its first horrific voyages. There currently are only 2 or 3 academics worldwide studying the origins of the Transatlantic slave trade!!!

@vomalley Except, their video is perpetuating more myths. There was not an English document signed at Waitangi

Ethics are not a collection of commandments and prohibitions to abide by, but a natural inner offering that can bring happiness and satisfaction to ourselves and others.

[E-Tangata @etangata]

Your rangatiratanga is meaningless unless you control, or are the primary holders of, your own knowledge base.

@vomalley I didn't, and I didn't take history past fourth form Social Studies at Auckland Grammar in the 90s. This was despite having George Grey's name being in bold up on the front of the Great Hall for assembly each morning

@Cmdr_Hadfield HI @Cmdr_Hadfield , @AklTransport are 40% way through retrofitting the city's 110,000 streetlights to LEDs with less night glare. Are any of your buddies up in space able to take another picture in future?
