Paul keeps calling “woman” an essentially contested concept. It isn’t. Gallie’s criteria don’t fit. Lets walk through why. 🧵
@wlaotearoa @Shut_the_fridge @garwhoungle You can claim that but it’s just your opinion and not binding in other people, especially the Pride committee. Woman is an essentially contested concept.

Every time the NZ press write about how much better Aussies food prices are than in NZ they act like Kiwis all shop at New World and all Aus prices are like Aldis. https://t.co/q8uRVihJOh

Camp ground in Whangamata yesterday, guy tries to film a Belgium girl showering by sticking his phone under the door. If you ever wonder why women get angry with men, (yes, all of them) this disgusting pig and others like him are why. Glad my son and his GF were there for her.

All of my household non-recycled waste is packaging for food. All of it would be gone if food suppliers rethought their packaging substrate, and printing options.

Fortnightly rubbish collections are a great idea. With a 4 person household, recycling and a compost bin, we put out about 40L of rubbish every 3 weeks. And I could reduce that by half, recycling soft plastic. https://t.co/giN9azIAP0

The proposed trial would affect parts of Te Atatu Peninsula, Panmure/Tāmaki, and Clendon Park/Weymouth.

A good architect/home building company should consider these things, but you should make it part of your brief.

If you are in the enviable position to get a house built, my advise is to research how buildings retain heat, release heat and avoid condensation. Along with considering eaves as a great way to keep the house cooler and add protection to windows in terms of leaking.

Using passive cooling systems, high windows to release hot air, opening transom windows, should be the norm. Instead we've created air-tight modern homes with glass everywhere and narrow eaves. No surprises they're hot.

This is annoying, building in Auckland in 2014, you couldn't ventilate your roof cavity as it was against code. We did anyway, and were thankful the code changed mid-way through our build. Call for changes to tackle overheating homes in summer

Too many new homes are overheating in the increasingly hot summers and the government is being urged to follow other countries' leads and do something about it.

@benjaminbutter Then why do you and your partner need to rent a poor woman’s womb to implant your male sperm into female eggs to exploit her body to give birth to a baby that you will then take from her aka Surrogacy. You know what a woman is when you want a baby.

Gender incongruence is a great thing and should be encouraged, not treated as a disorder requiring medical treatment. Gender is a set idealist repressive sterotypes and no one truly conforms to gender at all.
Children with gender incongruence deserve safe, compassionate and effective care. That healthcare must always be led by evidence. 🧵

Six experts have now confirmed, Israel deployed banned cluster munitions across Lebanon. Up to 40% don’t detonate. They become invisible landmines that will kill civilians for decades. 124 nations banned this. Israel refused.

The rush to embrace tech in schools was so well intentioned but has had disastrous results for learning. I would love it if New Zealand schools threw out their requirement for students to have Chromebooks.
It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

🔴 Human Rights Watch says Israel has carried out the largest forced displacement in the West Bank since 1967, emptying the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams refugee camps during “Operation Iron Wall” in early 2025. About 32,000 Palestinians were expelled at gunpoint, often with

It’s amazing how angry posts like this make some men, and the lengths they’ll go to justify why or deny women aren’t paid equally.
Women aren't only underpaid because they end up in less lucrative careers than men. Data on >25M people across 15 countries: Women make less than men in the same job—and that accounts for about half the overall gender pay gap. Equal work deserves equal pay. Full stop.
