Obviously nothing has pissed me off quite as much as them killing the Marsden Fund (👉 my 📌 post), but govt claiming that the Science Investment Plan does not cut funding when the plan itself says “core science and research funding is projected to decline in future years” was the icing on the cake.

Luxon wants to ‘brutally commercialise’ science, but cuts threaten its foundation

Comment from Auckland University: Decades of research funding cannot be replaced by funding the commercialisation of that science

Good point. No pie in the briefcase (or crumbs if it was after lunch, obvs); not a New Zealander. I think even the SIS look at porn on their phones these days so no Penthouse isn't conclusive. Of course, if there is one there they picked up from the charity shop - definitely Kiwi SIS.

This brush with global headlines may evoke 1981, when a blundering SIS officer left behind his briefcase containing a Penthouse magazine and three meat pies – but this time, the headlines involve a Russian regime spoiling for a fight

Virgo: Stars are doing some brand new shit up there, I can't get a handle on it. I recommend you decide to think that's a good thing. What else can you really do? Actually, let's make it official: it's Smiles Week! The week when it's pointless to feel afraid or cause a panic.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
