Great job.

That section on "Right Wing Criticism"... 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
(no reflection on the author of course). "Racist criticism" might have worked just as well.

Beautiful! Thanks for the implicit suggestion of an account to follow. Been starved since @floatingworlds.bsky.social stopped posting.

Agree totally and hopefully there’s sufficient ethnic diversity in NYC for this to be laughed at. Also if this is the level of “gotcha” they have on him he’s not doing too badly.

I was playing Part 2 at volume last night while making dinner and Mr 20 comes in and tries to mock me for listening to "old school" Devo.

Hah, jokes on him. I was proud to say it's a brand new album from a talented young Ao/NZ artist that he'd never heard of.

My wife always says “My first husband”. I assume she means I’m #1

One of the world's great migrations - the seasonal return of the cruise ships to Whakaraupō/Lyttleton harbour.

Early morning image of a white cruise ship with a dark blue hull steaming into a very calm harbour. In the background is a steep sided green hillside, partly quarried. Above is a pale blue early morning sky.

The thing in the wall is out spending up big with your cards.

(Sorry to hear by the way. Disconcerting)

I’m assuming you aren’t an arborist though, right?

I wonder if the strike march will still be on? North Hagley probably not the place to be.

In the same way that Trump 2.0 is worse than Trump 1.0, the CoC are signalling all the ways they will be worse in their second term. It must not happen.

That sucks. Looks like co-chairs of Human Research Ethics Committee are [email protected] and [email protected]

Yes, one would hope so but often people are busy and things might have been overlooked, especially for student projects. Anyway I'd expect the first question if you do complain higher up will be "have you contacted the researcher?"

Have you tried the lead researcher? Or the head of the relevant department? That might be worth starting with instead of trying to go to the ethics committee.
