       Re-#introduction, I've just moved to this server having been on Mastodon for about a year...I do research on public opinion on #ClimateChange change (and other topics in comparative politics) and will be finishing up a PostDoc fellowship in #PoliticalScience at Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand) later this year (!)...Look forward to connecting with people on this server, and elsewhere in the fediverse!

       @TEG @tiago @academicchatter This is a much bigger limitation than lack of quotes to me. I feel like I have to work really hard to understand what's going on in my feed because everything's always happening backwards. I think instead of "algorithmic feeds" we should just call it "more sorting options".My feeling is there is enough content for many communities here, it's just often really hard to find it.

       Staggering that the NZ govt has announced the end of funding for social science and humanities research from our main academic fund (Marsden). Science projects now also need to show economic benefits. This change has happened seemingly without consultation or even signalling that it's coming. Many hours will now be wasted with researchers revising or throwing away the proposals they've been working on. Apart from anything, this is terrible governance.https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/marsden-fund-refocused-science-purpose#nzpol

       Half expecting us to wake up tomorrow to find the govt has declared we now drive on the right side of the road.

       Seeing suggestions from pundits that Ao/NZ should reconsider our anti-nuclear policy (or do whatever else it takes to appease the US).What an utter failure of imagination - that we should sell out our core values, rather than find a new alignment where we're less dependent on an erratic US. #nzpol

       @ArrestJK Thanks! I hope to see some of this in the NZ context.
