I was interviewed by @ErinBurnett on @CNN about that unplanned breakdown on TV yesterday, and what led to it. https://t.co/V2NEDzoDpn #HurricaneMilton #ClimateCrisis

@ThisAmerLife Thanks for this story ❤️ 🇵🇸

Should I borrow for Solar now or hold out hope for incentives?

[Q+A @NZQandA]

The argument for green energy isn't moral or environmental... but economic.

@TheACCnz Glad to hear it team. Keep up the good work.

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning:

"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."

Well worth your time: https://t.co/eHalcNkiBX

[Simon McManus @SiMcmanus]

Do @TheACCnz and @skysportnz have any stance on this? Do they intend to broadcast and cover this game as if everything is 100% fine?

Last night’s show at the The Ryman is one I will never forget and am still struggling to process. I will post more when I can get my head around it, but, to give you an idea of the fever dream quality of this night, I will share this pic of a new fan who wanted a photo with me…

Unsure if everyone knows this but, more and more, the stories reporters write and news sites promote are determined by analytics - what has done well before (house prices!), what gets people to subscribe (private school rankings) and not by traditional news values /1

Aucklanders are there a any restaurants that have a #kidsmenu with healthy options?
So sick of kids menus being deep fried, adult portions minus vegetables and invariably with chips

[Simon McManus @SiMcmanus]

Please can you send someone to deal to overflowing bins at Waiatarua Reserve @AklCouncil thanks
