Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

day 5: Earth, I wasn't particularly motivated until I remembered that one guy in Auckland (AoNZ will understand what I mean) so learned to process geojson- Earthquakes (+) over 3.5 Magnitude, south of -38.8 and where and how strongly they were felt.

I'm sure it's totally coincidental that the AoNZ government's changes to the Marsden Fund have been followed by successful applications led by female investigators dropping from 55% to 33%, and successful applications led by Māori investigators dropping from 13% to 5%. 🫠 🧪

It’s important to note that he was the person responsible for protective security during the time period many many people from the PM to me were receiving regular death and rape threats. The past is making more sense to me now.

so far I've heard nothing from the government or my own uni about the devastating cuts to science in New Zealand I have however had an RSNZ rep tell me the Marsden team's vibe is "cool somebody finally said it out loud", and the science spokesperson for Labour, a chch MP, is visiting my lab

How many exasperated parents called you, Seymour? "The social media post was as ACT Party Leader. The ACT Party, as a political party funded by the Parliamentary Service, is not subject to the Official Information Act, therefore your request is declined."

One of the answers at pub quiz tonight was Steven Joyce, and when the answers were being read out, someone preempted the quiz master and very grumpily yelled out “yeah it was Steve fucking joyce” And there I was contemplating just writing down Dildo Baggins instead

Geez this government is a death cult aye, they are taking 20% of Water Safety NZ’s funding from next year because they weren’t sure if it actually made a difference to drowning statistics. It’s $1.1 million of funding, there needs to be more funding not less.

Why the fuck would we not just do this. There’s zero chance of him ever becoming King of New Zealand, but significant symbolic value in telling him to fuck off, we don’t want pedos anywhere near our governance. It’s such an easy win

Honestly the Firefighters Union should just publish a list of all primary for appliance with registration date and current odometer reading. That would probably make the point pretty clearly.

2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world. That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today. So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based. Image by HEO (from above!) 🔭🧪
