Dr Samuel Mehr says the Government values science, but their "idiotic" approach to funding it will cost them their best and brightest.

Labour just went for CGT-lite. It won't raise much money & won’t change the incentives in our housing-market-with-bits-tacked-on economy. It’s focus-group-hugging performative politics.

Labour's Future Fund appears distinct from NZ First's one in many ways. The main one is that Labour is seeding this with NZ money and NZ state assets. Returns are ring fenced and returned back for NZ investment - with a view to long term prosperity, infrastructure, innovation & wealth #nzpol

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

Getting rid of Art History is just another part of this government’s war on critical thinking. Art History asks students to view things in their wider cultural/social/political context. It teaches vital skills that translate across so many areas. Also, it’s really fun. Please sign the petition.

The State Department said the U.S. “has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans.”

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

I hope David Seymour will be publicly telling off the Taxpayer's Onion about this, like he has numerous journalists who have brought it up...

Please nobody tell professional writer praising professional journalists Caitlin Flanagan what "out of whole cloth" means

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Treasury: "Because of this, it is hard to reconcile (from a purely logical perspective) how building a new medical school is going to be better than any non-build option, if we aren’t facing a capacity constraint." The University of Waikato paid Steven Joyce $1m to get $82.85m of taxpayers' money.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Because I am spoilt for democracy, I have now walked the 130 metres from my office to the nearest local elections ballot box and deposited my voting papers. Honestly, when it was that easy it would have been embarrassing not to vote. (I have also prompted others in the building I work in)

History has many painful lessons.
