Cool Kiwi Science done with Marmite!
A University of Otago fish expert, Roe Stuart, has found weird new fish super-deep down in large montane lakes in the South Island, lured in with Marmite.
What a great story. I look forward to finding out more about what these odd fish are.

Tararua district caught between anniversary days
This is why in today's modern world we should do away with anniversary days and merge them into one day celebrated over all Aotearoa --- Let us call it Aotearoa day. What date would you put it on? I was thinking 27 December or May 1st.

Just read this #RNZ article by Nick Bollinger about the history of state censorship of songs from broadcast in NZ.
I find the reluctance of RNZ to acknowledge probably one of the most antidemocratic political censorship decisions in #NZPol history inexplicable. One NZ song was not only banned from radio broadcast but also its video was banned from online streaming and the song deemed illegal to sell to the public.
That song was Darren Watson’s 2014 song “Planet Key” which I animated the video for.
For those who aren’t aware the song satirised the Key National govt and its policies. The song was immediately banned from radio broadcast and then its authors threatened with police prosecution if song and video not removed from streaming services and sale. The Crown tried to justify its censorship by claiming the song was an electoral advertisement whereas we argued it was simply a song and an accompanying video.
With the help of electoral lawyers offering their services to us pro-bono we took the Key government to court and won. Unfortunately by the time the High Court ruling was released the 2014 NZ election was over and #DirtyPolitics won.
From the article:
There are other reasons records were withheld from airplay. Some appeared to *satirise public figures – sometimes unintentionally, as in the case of ‘Spotty Muldoon’ by British comedians Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, the protagonist of which coincidentally shared a name with a certain local politician.
Other political songs were allowed to air, such as ‘Don’t Go’ the 1985 song protesting a South African rugby tour, so long as the presenters refrained from passing any editorial comment.*No mention of the “Planet Key” palaver.

Meiner Meinung nach muss man die Aussage 'Betreiber Günter Hölzer nennt Personalmangel als Hauptgrund' mal auf der Zunge zergehen lassen. Vor allen da es an sich genug arbeitswillige Menschen gibt, die man eben nur entsprechend Aus- und Weiterbilden müsste. Allerdings sollte das eben auch nicht den Blick darauf verstellen das die Arbeitsbedingungen und das Gehalt im Einzelhandel eben nicht gerade das Gelbe vom Ei sind. Sprich man sollte sich evtl. zusätzlich zu dem oben genannten überlegen dort etwas zu verbessern um die Arbeit attraktiver zu gestalten. Außerdem ist da wohl auch noch ein gewisser Spielraum in Sachen Automatisierung. Nein nicht um Arbeitskräfte einzusparen, sondern um sie zu entlasten.
Betreiber Günter Hölzer nennt Personalmangel als Hauptgrund. Der Bürgermeister ist zuversichtlich, dass ein neuer Betreiber gefunden wird... (weiter) (Paywall)

Someone needs to let Alex Barnes and Jesse Mulligan know that it's Dave *Winer*, not "Winter", and that RSS is still widely used?), including by all real podcasts(1);
https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/2018928958/podcast-critic-alex-barnes(1) as opposed to audio/video shows on proprietary streaming platforms that co-opt the word "podcast"

Something I keep coming back to: How will anything ever get better if we keep electing governments who refuse to improve anything?
