I LOVE this so much. Maori MPs in the New Zealand parliament protest attempts by the centre-right government and far-right "ACT" coalition partners to pass legislation that water down treaty rights of Maori.

New Zealand is one of the only places (the only?) in the British Empire where the Crown signed a treaty with all Indigenous peoples at the time of contact. It has shaped NZ Law and Society ever since!

Thank you to @b9AcE for the video.

No, I am not going to write about what Harris should have done, and pretend that my personal biases/preferences have some kind of universal significance

Bullet trains will reach speeds of up to 300 kilometres (186 mph) per hour.

20 million people live in this corridor. This will be transformative.

I’m disappointed that the Apple Silicon era killed the 27” iMac. Despite their claim otherwise, 24” is just too dang small. In fact I’d like to see a 32” model.

Here's the Washington Post reporting, w/significant original reporting, that the list of CEOs reaching out to Trump to try to curry favor in case he wins is long.

The Bezos part is carefully phrased. Must have been an interesting editing discussion...

Some billionaires, CEOs hedge bets as Trump vows retribution

With the race tight, some business elites are toning down past criticism of the former president.

Aside: The President of the United States of America, *standing in line* on the side of the street, to vote.

I mean... that's actually extremely awesome for so many reasons. He's chatting up the person in front of him as his giant USSS guard stands nearby. lol.
