Universities in 'battle of the century' with journal publisher Elsevier One New Zealand university told its staff all universities in New Zealand and Australia would "lose some degree of access" to the publisher's 1600 titles from the start of next year.

I have oil :)

…

can we discount the fact that things have been buried, perhaps actively by police, at this stage?

lol I’m broke so going to be buying a bag of flour for the weekend, unlikely I can afford much else

So… what’s everyone’s favourite pancake or scone recipe that doesn’t include eggs or milk?

You need a pet rock.

For context, four Aussie banks took approximately $6.5 billion out of the Aotearoa economy in the last year or so

The majority of which was gleaned from mortgages on family homes

The economy is improving? Sweety, it's tanking, sinking, shitting itself sideways, and you're a big part of the reason

Indicators! Seat! Suspension! Wheels that can cope with the paths around here!

AUTHORS!!

Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?

Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

If you'd told me that a speaker at the Free Speech Union conference would call for banning non-Christian public expressions of faith to an applauding crowd, I would have said yes, obviously that is going to happen newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/10/t...

WHAT

I ditto this

Anyway Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein because she was deeply annoyed about being trapped in a castle with Lord Byron because her silly poet husband who had a big nerd crush on him wanted to hang out with him.

The nurses on the picket line in Hamilton’s CBD just copped a barrage of abuse from a young man.
Their responses
“Is he ok”

“Is anyone here familiar with him?”
