They were never defending freedom of speech. They were defending a right to monologue. The former cannot coexist with the latter.

What if I told you undermining the faith in our academic institutions is one of the goals of the techbroligarchy.
It's a feature not a bug.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

We are so back. In other words, we have stopped falling. It is truly remarkable that NZ almost uniquely plunged its economy into a sustained recession in response to a global inflation shock that other countries just rode out. And, now we are celebrating ending our self-flaggelation. [1/2]

Getting tired of crappy 'wrapped' year summaries. Spotify's was cringe. LinkedIn is even worse.

![[101] I agree with the applicant that the declaration sought here would serve a real
purpose in ensuring that future recommendations for the position of human rights
commissioners proceed lawfully. When potential appointees for such positions
occupy an important public office intended to help ensure the human rights of
New Zealander’s are upheld and promoted, there is a clear and substantial public
interest in having errors in their appointment publicly declared.
Conclusion
[102] The judicial review application is granted.
[103] I make the declaration that the Decision was unlawful because:
(a) the Minister applied the incorrect legal test; and
(b) the Minister failed to take into account relevant considerations.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y5ef7ykskrf34je7djcylqwm/bafkreigc6ilqrvtryuz7d6rltktqfoowlqcpnvbbtschrvfl3ze4eztil4@jpeg)
