Ooh. I didn't realize they had quite that social media presence. Thanks for posting that

Went to see Don McGlashan at the Christchurch Town Hall, and we all sang along to #thereisnodepressioninnewzealand

In my life this is the 3rd time round that song hits harder than normal.

+1 for headless chickens reference

Dutch strict liability for cycling accidents, that puts a car driver as automatically responsible, probably put the frighteners on him as well.

Half right. This is the best Luxon can do.

So, #zotero has a #pubpeer plugin. So I downloaded all ot the university of canterbury's publications from #openalex as a .ris file, and imported them into a new profile. In three clicks. Now I can see who is gossiping about who! Amazing.

My beef with age verification facial image stuff is that the won't even tell me how old they think I am!

YouTube video by Nerd Nite Christchurch Nerd Nite ChCh: Russell J Stanford and the Enshittification of the Creation of Knowledge

One story, amongst many others on why our knowledge creation system is suffering. thank you #nerdnite @retractionwatch.com @elsevierconnect.bsky.social

The answer? Publish less.

I wonder if the Himalayan Twin will be the new version of this. Simple, unpretentious, useful. Also cheap.

In my podcatcher! Thank you!

I was writing some code to detect hallucinated references in academic papers. The first one it found had a real DOI, totally unrelated to the work, or the reference.

It was a paper on surgical castration. I take that as a threat...

Thank you.

I was very much in the dot com boom, and I thought us all having our voice was deeply emancipatory. It still is, but we now have to pay to have it. It makes me sad.

Hey! I'm going to be a pain. Is there any way of listening to this not on Spotify? I think having it there is probably good for exposure, but I'm wondering if there are other platforms as well.

I'd love it if there was an RSS feed I could use for my generic podcatcher app.

Plus, red things go faster. It's just science.

Certified > fit > looks

I just get plain white helmets if I can now, apparently they are quite visible. I have a suspicion police wearing white helmets might have an effect with that. Or maybe they wear white helmets because they are visible. ARRGH.... RECURSION LOOP... >poof<

I know, probe jokes. But this Stasi bullshit... 🫤

I saw, but the times on this side of our planet demand I be in bed. If it weren't for work! I'd be keen on a bit of pathfinder, too!

But the implication of hypocrisy here is really beneath him. He is smarter than that.

He is kinda smart - he's made some good hiring decisions in his time, and lucked in to some other things. I've found him to be quite personable. I'll agree to disagree on where the slider sits on the # of deaths vs. impact on private profit continuum (me: fewer deaths).

I've set up a section for Conference Proceedings in our Institutional Repository for exactly this kind of material. Nobody uses it...

"Reports say you received over a million dollars in advance for your memoir [...] It’s a striking figure, especially for someone who once made child poverty her personal mission"

This utterly undermined any point he was trying to make.

The essence of allyship.

This timing would work for the Antipodes, if you were running another for therapists. I'm a GM (ShadowDark obsessed right now) and I'd love to see how you approach it

I've reopened my socials (just a bit). I'd never Google them, but they can help themselves. It's me with them, not a cypher.

Argh. Take care. 🫤

Why would Microsoft mandate it's staff use AI? Because it values what AI provides; consistent mediocrity. The same. That which is like what came before. The comfortable and unsurprising. All faster and with less cost than before.

Hey, we have an entire suburb called 'Marshlands'. #Ōtautahi

I'm considering the circumstances where one could present, and I've decided I'm condor-curious.
