The NZ parliamentary complex is widely known to be haunted. We're overlooking the very real possibility that lobbying documents from tobacco giants and GHG emitters being mysteriously dropped on ministers' desks - and perhaps even minor legislative drafting? - are the work of civic-minded ghosts.

Mis/disinfo is hobbling every part of the climate change response - the premise (CC is a hoax), the cause (govt weather control), the means (the UN wants to ban meat), adaptation (managed retreat is a govt land grab), to emergency response (scammers targeting ppl in disasters)

I know I harp on this all the time, but the authoritarian personality is the skeleton key here. The authoritarian believes, at a brainstem level, that all of society is a hierarchy and that one of the benefits of being high on the hierarchy is that you get to abuse others below you.

I took stats as a senior year elective, and on the first day the teacher said 'Stats isn't math' and proceeded to teach the course essentially as social science / how to spot bad reporting. To this day it's probably the most impactful class I've ever taken, including everything I did at uni.

Hot tip for other Snapper users who have the memory of a concussed goldfish: you can use the app to check whether or not you remembered to tag on. Tapping a terminal again by mistake cancels your fare; tapping a third time just gets you a 'fare already paid' and won't actually let you tag back on.
