I mean, at least Reti is a doctor. Collins, Goldsmith or Simeon Road-cone Brown? The driving instructor, the car crusher and some kid without a licence? Drive the ambulance off the cliff!

Merry Christmas, y’all. 🎄🎄🎄

This government is making a habit of lavish announcements that they will be doing less. ‘Reducing the burden on the tax payer’ is legislating inequality.

Yeah, nah. Feels like 30°. ‘Hotter than a snakes ass in a wagon rut!’ #GMV #RIPRobinWillams

Damn, Farmers got me. Made it until the 12th. #lastchristmas

I’m trying to write something positive about the cricket. I just haven’t got it in me. It’s just… deflating.

Something I think isn’t really obvious to non-researchers is that the vast, vast majority of NZ government science spending already goes to funds which are targeted at direct economic outcomes. The Marsden Fund was the last, inadequate bastion of fundamental research funding. 🧪
