It's critical to remember we have NO civics education in New Zealand. Ppl do not necessarily know how MMP works, how a coalition works, or how to best make their vote reflect their values The more you can make talking about politics normal and chill, the more ppl feel they're allowed to be curious

Who is this book for? Journalists? It is for the public, to have summarised in one place, the story of an influential lobby group with the context, analysis and moral judgment that our gallery reporters have no incentive to provide.

Journalists are crowing 'what's new?!' because they have forgotten that there is a second draft of history, and don't seem to recognise that a book like this, is it. This govt has literally forced the TPU into the *school curriculum* in its ideological vandalism, well here's the primary reference.

final fantasy 4 is a narrative groundshaker in that male leads are fridged just as thoughtlessly as the women and children—and, not unrelatedly—we’re 15 hours into this hero’s journey and cecil hasn’t had a single win

And it's not like games 'became' art at some point. Pong is art in the same way that The Royal Game of Ur is art. You could probably make an argument that two kids running around in a field pretending to be wizards is performance art. It's art all the way down babyyyyy

The 'is games art' debate is so weird. If it's made by a human with the intention of expressing or eliciting emotion, it's art. It might not be 'good' art or art that you personally enjoy, but the act of creation is the key piece in the definition here, not the thing that's made by that process.

An u16 social media ban on selected platforms a) won't significantly stop u16s being those platforms; Australian evidence shows this. b) will institute mass identity surveillance of all users of any age on those platforms; and c) Won't affect key sources of online safety risk (roblox, chatbots).

Without being too uncharitable (hopefully), I think this illustrates a big difference between Labour and the Greens. Labour believes the way we've been managing the economy for the past 40 years is fundamentally sound and salvageable. The Greens do not.

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.
