In testing my green screen and video editor, I reacted to a video by the Washington Post about #MeToo and disclosure.

I thought I’d share my raw honest reflection on the topic. Link below.

@Horitogo @jacktame I can see you’re being wilfully ignorant. What I posted was not a draft but a signed version of the Treaty that was written in English.
I shan’t waste my time further.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Horitogo @jacktame I’m sorry but that’s not true.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Horitogo @jacktame Yes the right is the text of the Māori version presented at Waitangi. The left was a draft intended as a translation, known as the Littlewood treaty, but has no legal status in itself as it wasn’t what was presented alongside the Māori text.
My ancestors signed it too btw.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Horitogo @jacktame It’s the Littlewood text. It wasn’t a signed document so it’s of little value besides being an historic curiosity.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Horitogo @jacktame That’s not the treaty. That looks like the Littlewood draft.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@DrAnnieHickox Yes, I do worry that AI may alienate clinicians from a critical opportunity to reflect, formulate, and plan.
But perhaps not everyone reflects or thinks as they write, and instead see it as an unnecessary chore 🤷‍♂️

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@tykng_ Why? Do you suffer from anxiety?

@trekonlinegame Kelvin uniforms?!

@Tobias_McRae @Tiare_MP Are you deliberately missing the point?

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

Earlier in the week, I encountered a viral albeit bizarre TikTok where a person seemed to imply that society’s apparent aesthetic preference for women’s bodies with smaller breasts was “padeophilic”.

My rebuttal can be found here:

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Tobias_McRae @Tiare_MP Also, that’s what he said.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Tobias_McRae @Tiare_MP Do you have anything that actually supports your claim conclusively? Nothing you’ve presented thus far does this.
Kupe was Polynesian, or proto-Māori at best.
No evidence Cook set foot first, it was almost certainly a crew member.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Tobias_McRae @Tiare_MP Indeed, but given that the evidence available shows neither of your claims are in fact true, I express my doubt thus.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@Tobias_McRae @Tiare_MP I’m not sure either of those are true tbh

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@ChrisJohn4141 @Lepercon_665 @mark_slapinski Okay, you’re deliberately missing the point.
What a moron 😂

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@ChrisJohn4141 @Lepercon_665 @mark_slapinski Are you deliberately missing the point?
That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, you naive bigoted fuckdiddle.

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

Love the people who rate earthquajes as “extreme”.

I imagine they’re the kind of people who have a panic attack every time someone farts. #eqnz

[Dr Ash Catton @twit_ash]

@ChrisJohn4141 @Lepercon_665 @mark_slapinski Lmao. No, it’s not. Don’t be naive.
If someone was violated, they were violated.
Trump violated this woman.
