Tainui kaumatua Assoc. Prof Tom Roa has gifted a ingoa māori to us: Te Tumu Whakaora Taiao. It means that we are a collective centre of activity, where we encourage others to work together and with us to restore and reinvigorate our environment.

holy fucking shit, vaccine mandates are causing teachers who don't believe in science to quit, nurses who don't believe in medicine to quit, and cops who don't believe in public safety to quit. I'm failing to see the downside to this

[Charlie @Saxphile]

I nearly failed the biology component of my university entrance exam and never took microbiology or ecology as a student. I've been a working microbial ecologist for a decade and no one has (yet) called me out over my lack of credentials.

[Michael 英泉 Eisen @mbeisen]

I work at the interface between molecular biology, genetics and computer science and never took classes in any of them.

TSUNAMI WARNING: Areas that need to evacuate are indicated on this map. Evacuate these areas even if you did not feel the earthquake. DO NOT WAIT. A damaging tsunami is possible. More info at https://t.co/ccVFYQQoBr

@macilree @MichaelFieldNZ Pretty sure that the time is GMT/Zulu. The 3rd quake occured around 8:45 NZ time, and tsunami should hit NZ 60-90 minutes later.

Inhofe: "I've never seen Mike Pence as angry as he was today"

“I had a long conversation with him,” said Inhofe. “He said, ‘After all the things I’ve done for (Trump).’”

Rapid tests like this, but for antibodies, will be crucial for resuming international travel to much of Asia Pacific.

I would be so angry at National if I was one of the majority of farmers who invested efforts and resources to do the right thing for New Zealand's freshwater ecosystems. At this rate, National may become a fringe right-wing party.

[RNZ @radionz]

The National Party is promising the freshwater standards coming into force next week will be "gone by lunchtime" if elected.

Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield says there are four new cases of #Covid19 in the community, all in the same family. A man in his 50s in Auckland was swabbed yesterday and tested positive. He has no history of overseas travel.

Don't get me wrong, the oil age won't end because the price crashed. I expect oil prices to go through the roof in 1-2 years, but the global divestment from fossil fuels is going to force shifts to alternative energy.

[Charlie @Saxphile]

No matter what deal Russia and OPEC reach, US oil producers will lose. It would be deeply ironic if what triggers the end of the oil age is a crash in oil prices (helped by a virus that depressed oil demand).

“Yeah…?”
“That’s it.”
