Marvel’s Spider-Man (PS4) was released in 2018 and had the unthinkable scenario of an airborne illness killing thousands in New York. There were signs advising people to mask up.

Death Stranding, 2019, had a world stuck indoors, connected only by a delivery guy carrying parcels.

Hey fellow political nerds in the UK, do you think the Greens could steal a march on Reform by announcing a policy that would allow national Parliaments in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales to run independence referenda without needing permission from Westminster?

The 'college' I attended in the US (undergraduate university) has an 'honour code' which obliges all students to *confront* behaviour they see among their peers which they believe is non-compliant with the honour code. Some of my peers offered 'confrontation training'. It led to lots of […]

I think we could all benefit from understanding the difference between an argument - which can & should be initiated on a basis of good-faith - and a fight/row... The former has the purpose of achieving mutual understanding. The latter has the purpose of making someone feel bad. I think we all […]

Happy Parihaka Day! Today we celebrate 144 years of determined peaceful resistance. Against the confiscation of lands and resources, and the denial of unceded sovereignty, by the British Crown. Not only by tangata whenua, but by Pākeha allies too.

I yelled at the radio the other day.

Some bullshit about how someone is feeding medical data to “AI” to predict health outcomes.

It’s not “AI”. “AI” is meaningless as a term. The correct name is “multivariate regression”, but we’ve been able to do multivariate regressions for decades and the […]
