To quote Frank Zappa, "information is not knowledge, knowledge is not truth, truth is not wisdom."

Facts have no value if you don't know how to use them

All networking events need at least one designated host who goes around looking for people on their own and introduces them to others with similar interests.

This takes maybe a couple of minutes per person and is pretty fun and easy if you know what you’re doing!

This whole symposium is very useful on how to approach AI with your full critical faculties: head, heart, and soul.

I split AI into 3 non-mutually exclusive types (see Table 1 above): displacement (harmful), enhancement (beneficial), and/or replacement (neutral) of human cognitive labour. More later possibly, but see Tables 2 to 4 (attached or here: arxiv.org/pdf/2507.19960) for the worked through examples. 2/n

I miss the days when higher education was seen as a social good, a national treasure. When the social, cultural and intellectual contribution of higher education was valued as highly as economic contribution. When students from poorer backgrounds had proper financial support. When the humanities 1/

Here I provide snapshots of 20+ films that have something to tell us about law and race and argue for their use as pedagogical tools. The post also includes a rare clip from Death is Part of the Process [1986], a film about the early days of Umkhonto we Sizwe.

In this post, I reflect on what the TV series Black Earth Rising (Michaela Coel, John Goodman) tells us about how an inescapable colonial past bleeds into our meanings of home, truth, justice, and global hierarchies of power that collapse past, present, and future.
