Cyclone Gabrielle was the costliest storm recorded in the Southern Hemisphere. It's baffling how it quickly it faded from view and how little help its survivors received. A year on, there are still people who need help getting silt out of their homes. nzgeo.com/stories/cyclon…

Think you're safely in a blue bubble in DC? Think again. From banning abortion to changing the DCPS curriculum to firing thousands of your neighbors, the new admin may do something no president has done in years: dramatically change local DC. politi.co/3UIBgyi

"...learning to walk again would be like mastering two musical instruments and playing them at the same time." This story is absolutely unsparing and so well told: magazine.atavist.com/coming-to-amer…


Terrific article by @samknightwrites about what happened when Britain rapidly slashed public services in the name of austerity. A fleeting growth spurt followed by deep decline and dysfunction that's hard to reverse. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

A lot has been written about China's efforts to cultivate support (and UN backing) in the Pacific but it turns out Israel has been just as active. Fascinating story by @Indiratweets 1news.co.nz/2024/03/10/isr…

My story about what went wrong inside Hawke's Bay civil defence during Cyclone Gabrielle—starting with the shocking revelation that the region had "no disaster Master Plan or flood emergency plan" even though most of its population lives on a flood plain. nzgeo.com/stories/hawkes…
