SOCRATES: I am wiser than this man; he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing— DARRYL, SOCRATES' FRIEND (Editor's note: There is no historical evidence that Socrates actually had a friend named Darryl.

One of the greatest soundtracks ever, in a show that somehow changed everything. At least in TV land. #RIP David Lynch. youtu.be/Z30zg9a5M5k?...

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.

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. 🧪

I was a volunteer at the hikoi, at Waitangi Park. Not sure if it's been reported on any media but there was so much aroha - Muslims For Te Tiriti gave us hundreds of curry meals, and as I was leaving, the Cambodian community gave us over 1000 meals. Aroha before politics. THAT was the hikoi!

If you want to see almost every British actor as a much younger version of themselves, watch Spooks from series 1. Amazing who keeps turning up. Hawes, Cumberbatch, and Laurie, to name a few.

Anyone who has read, or is reading, Tim Winton’s latest book Juice could be forgiven for thinking it’s the way the world is going. With the fast track bill, we’re joining the global descent towards a cataclysm. #Spoileralert #killthebill #nofasttrack
