More fuel for @stephenkb.bsky.social’s theory that post-AI jobs will include bank teller - and now also door-to-door opinion pollster.
new paper by Sean Westwood:

It’s been a long time coming but it’s great to see the IOC protecting women. The IOC is moving to remove men from women's sport.
Men who identify as the opposite sex are still allowed to compete, they just have to do so with the men.

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together.

What’s the difference between ghosts and demons? Books, folklore and history reflect society’s supernatural beliefs
Artists often turn to the supernatural to reflect on and speak to the anxieties brought about by social, religious and political upheaval.
