🗣 Free Speech Union ✊
📣 We're taking NZ Police to court to protect your right to peaceful protest. In 2023, lawyer Lucy Rogers stood silently on Queen Street holding a sign. She wasn't shouting. She wasn't blocking anyone. She wasn't breaking any law. Police tore up her sign, handcuffed her, and put her in a van - then released her without charge. The Independent Police Conduct Authority found her arrest was unlawful, the force unjustified, and officers' accounts didn't match the evidence. Police still defended their actions. Now, with the Free Speech Union's support, Lucy is taking them to the High Court under the NZ Bill of Rights Act. Hearing set for August. If this can happen to a criminal defence lawyer who knows her rights - it can happen to anyone. 📌 Support the fight: fsu.nz/donation-pages…

@ryancbriggs If there was a game of me vs Claude, in understanding global cultural diversity, I would bet on myself. I'd make a large bet.

ThePodcastBrowser.com curates excellent interviews with non-fiction authors. I humbly submit that curation is a valuable service. Here are some curators I treasure: PaleoAnthropology (@Qafzeh) human origins, hominin fossils, biological anthropology ... 1 of 3

Alain Bertaud is visiting New Zealand again! His last visit was in 2014. He's giving public lectures in Wellington (Vic Uni, Wednesday, 5pm) and in Auckland (Aotea Centre, Thursday, 5pm). I hope to see some of you there.

The surest marker of a great podcast episode is that I immediately re-listen to it. I've listened to this one three times.

@krishnanrohit Ada was brilliant. But hundreds of thousands of years listening prepares us better for listening than reading, which is a Johnny-come-lately human skill. Don't you find yourself better able to run the parallel processes of hearing and evaluating while listening than reading?

Ada Palmer on Dwarkesh is one of the rare podcasts that works incredibly well as a podcast rather than a transcript. She speaks so wonderfully well.

@CardiffGarcia Yes. But also think about taking up cycling. It’s a kind of IQ test how long it takes a runner to become a cyclist 😜
