Yikes, Chris Luxon just denied that his figure of “88% of Māori kids in year 8 can’t read” was wrong but said he mixed up and said the word “read” instead of “maths.”

This is our PM guys 😆

“How did people write essays before ChatGPT?”

You all are young, but there was this thing called doing research, staring at a blank Word document, thinking, writing, rewriting, suffering, and persevering.

Karl Schlogel's books dive deep into the minutiae of Soviet everyday life. Schlogel visited Pitt so we pulled him into a studio to talk about Soviet Century: An Archeology of a Lost World. https://t.co/3Rz8Wf9u6y

...do espírito 'faustiano', ou, o último ato da modernidade "prometeica". Foi uma mobilização titânica de materiais e seres humanos para construir em relativamente pouco tempo obras faraônicas de modernização - ferrovias, represas, usinas etc., a partir das estepes selvagens.

@danniemedia NZ doesn’t really have a bunch of quality intellectual magazines. Just the shitty tabloid ones.

[Danielle @danniemedia]

Had a dream last night that Nz banned magazines???? And I was so sad, however, then I saw this and thought actually can the Woman’s Day just do better?????

Some people are absolutely convinced that Europe thrived by plundering resources from colonized countries.

If that's really the case, how come those same countries, which already had these resources, never reached that level of development?

Master thread on the 2015-2022 closure of the Internet, the process by which every major Internet platform went from broadly open with a few basic guidelines to strict narrative enforcement, often with the collaboration of govts and outsourcing moderation power to NGOs.

Interested in parallel between biological (genetic) evolution & (memetic) evolution of language. Mutations arise in both, but language equivalent of selection less clear. “H” was pronounced “Aitch” (as in OED). When did mutant “Haitch” arise? What selection pressure favours it?
