Both New Zealand and Australia Post have suspended parcel post to the US for the same reason. One small business in NZ was quoted as saying that 90% of their business is in the US.

I dunno. You can critique the Democratic Party for attacking a performatively awful nominee. But everyone else can critique you for pretending that the Republican Party didn’t intentionally put up a performatively awful nominee. The first stone was putting Bork up. Republicans had agency.

Well, possibly. As an industry they do a lot of experimenting around the edges, but that’s comparatively low volume. In bulk the industry is quite conservative. Different expressions as they’re known are expected to taste, feel, and look a certain way. Changing barrels for a whole industry…

Seen the shorts. Can’t wait to watch. Lots of kiwi actors in it too as a bonus. Given that the Māori actors had to learn Hawaiian language for their roles, I think viewers can struggle along reading subtitles. Good to appreciate one of the USA’s native tongues as well.

The thing with people like that, regardless of political views, is that whenever they consider the ideal future world or their favourite past world, they assume they would be in the inner circle. Privileged, comfortable, superior. Elite if you will. Invulnerable to the harm they wish others.

That shouldn’t happen mind. There should be a culture in academia that ensures vigorous debate and weeds out the outright charlatan or incompetent. But the answer is not ideological control by the government. Ever.
Fit for purpose (@fitforpurpose.bsky.social) reply parent
The thing is that those pockets of academia that are intolerant, closed shop, or weird are self limiting and ultimately self defeating. They become stale and self-serving. Everyone else just starts ignoring them and bypassing them. Eventually funding becomes hard to sustain and die back sets in.
