Oh fuck off. Neutrality is just a fancy word for enabling and compliance with the aggression. #UaView #UkrainianView #NAFO

Advocate fires back at Minister over ‘disgusting’ schools Te Tiriti list https://www.byteseu.com/1578735/ Treaty advocate and lawyer Tania Waikato has responded to comments made by Education Minister Erica Stanford over the creation of a list of schools that have committed to upholding Te …

"Women helped make Trump. Trump never intended to repay the favor. Some women will figure that out sooner than others." Great stuff as usual by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/o...

This is a very good thread

And how exactly will Trump “cure cancer” without science and medical research funding?

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Important point: this ISN'T about willpower. It is about our food environment. 👇 The ultra-processed foods problem is driven by commercial interests, not individual weakness. Here’s how to fix it theconversation.com/the-ultra-pr... by @philbakernz.bsky.social et al.

"JAMA Touts #LongCOVID Exercise Trial with Clinically Insignificant Results; Most LC Exercise Trials Ignore #PEM, Per Sick Times" By David Tuller virology.ws/2025/11/25/t... People can think patients can keep improving while an exercise program may simply push them to their conditioning ceiling

Felt #earthquake: 6.0 #quake Matanuska-Susitna Borough, 38 mi northwest of Anchorage, Anchorage Municipality, Alaska, United States, 10 minutes ago - 101 reports so far. Did you feel it? Send a report!

How not to get sick...wear a mask...eat outside. #COVIDisnotOver

It's hilarious when you think about it... if we have no culture, why so many distinct traditions?

Underdog tale: the regulatory standards bill is law despite almost everyone hating it

OH THAT ONE IS AN EARTHQUAKE

Anything that fell over in the quake is just getting packed at this point, too close to moving to be bothered resetting anything.

This book is so funny and readable. I used it as the main text in my AI literacy class, and even though it predates the LLM horror-madness, it provided all the foundation we needed to really dig in. Great deal!

‘It was no longer a gift for my husband. It was all for me’: four women on how boudoir photography changed their lives

The opening keynote was by Melina Schuh. She showed some groundbreaking unpublished data on human oocytes that might change things for the better for older women undergoing IVF 🤯 Translational and applied science doesn't exist in a vacuum, it comes from strong basic research #DVR2025

It’s not that I think everything is about COVID, but COVID keeps getting ignored — even though it’s still a major health issue in an ongoing pandemic.

OK I've made progress. Unless you have > £50,000 *gross* income from self-employment plus property rental, you can forget this for another year. The advantage of kicking can down road is other people will be the lab rats for the new scheme. There seems no disadvantage. Ignore your PAYE income. HTH

Uh oh I spent the evening looking at topomaps and scheming again

So… the Police Minister never heard about McSkimming, the PM never hears about anything and this guy never heard anything about his portfolio either. What a bunch of incompetent twats - or perhaps SITTING ON A THRONE OF LIES is more accurate.

NZ Crown Response Office sent an email assuring abuse survivors that none of their identifying details would be disclosed in a report. Officer forgot to use BCC + more than 30 survivors’ names were visible in CC field. Minister is furious over #privacy breach! #NZpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/27/s...

Starting a new lab tradition for first papers from a thesis 😃 Anyone got any other fun ones?

The latest corrective services data is out today, and it points a horrific picture of the systemic racism in our judicial system #PointLive live.thepoint.com.au

One gets treated like one has broken the law merely going through the NHMRC pre-app compliance checks. Imagine NHMRC scrutinising why I need to buy windscreen washer fluid from a car supplies shop after my postdoc insists this is the only detergent suitable for cleaning our culture substrates 🤦🏾‍♀️

Can someone point me to a single instance where Deloitte/McKinsey/Bain any of these consulting firms have said an org needs to hire more people? Half a million to tell us something we knew they would.

After two years following work toward this, I can finally report that more than 40 duty lawyers are taking industrial action over pay rates in January. It’ll include 80 per cent of those in Auckland District Court. Duty lawyers act for those charged with criminal offences who don’t have lawyers.

This just in: school bully says pro Te Tiriti pledge is anti-government

Somebody needs to write a book on how journalists and biographers have absolutely FUCKED us all over by “holding on” to stories until it’s too late. Seriously. Future historians need this.

I was lucky enough to inherit a bunch of racks where a graduate student had labelled all of them with Rack jokes 😂, perfect. I am dead at Racksputin.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Making it extremely hard to find all the sensationalist posts flogging a story about that poor strong woman contestant.

I'm glad I disabled this because now every well meaning lib and leftist on the site is sharing that Erin Reed post about the BBC, which has utterly ruined that dogwhistle as a useful signal for detecting transphobes.

Also these are people at the heights of the industry, and both Nuzzi and Lizza were almost instantly rehabilitated by top media companies after a first round of scandals that should have made them radioactive. Now lo and behold, much bigger shoes to drop, and we probably haven't seen the last of it.

Doing your best to literally destroy life-sustaining ecosystems while also sanctioning the torture of people is hard on the spirit, wow who knew

Who knew about this? The areas marked "Kahore I Hokona" (=never sold) are land for which there are no purchase agreements by colonial companies. The land was simply taken from Kai Tahu. You'll notice it includes all the Otago Lakes with their pricey real estate. Totally stolen land. #kikorangi

Hey! Do you know an awesome librarian? Do you think they’re awesome enough for you to spend a minute nominating them? I bet they are! ilovelibraries.org/love-my-libr...

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

The spam accounts have adopted some new posting method I can't quite sus out, where they make a post in reply to another post, but it does something odd and the preceeding post won't load in the AppView or in the PostThread view in Ozone:

this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Anyway, I find it hard to believe these accounts are real when they're literally developing exploits within a day or two of the old ones being caught and when the timeclock looks like this

Meanwhile, stories are shared about people from our flight who had to stand in line for hours at the #Delta counters to get a hotel room. A group of 10 were told there were only 6 rooms left. Others were given a $50 voucher and a “good luck finding a hotel room in Auckland”.

We have been sitting in our Delta plane for more than three hours at AKL, because of a rudder problem. I hope they can fix it. Lots of anxiety around us about missing connections.
