These days mainly I do DIY and chase dogs. I also run a tiny gym with the best view in Aotearoa. Also an academic. Father to a disabled kid so I do the advocacy thing as well. Psychoanalysis; Lacan; MMT.
I wrote something on #ChatGPT 5.1 #weightloss and the Lacanian concept of lalangue. Intrigued? andrewdicksonnz.substack.com/p/chatgpt-51...

14 years ago today I ran up to the summit of Mt Hector in the Tararua Ranges and back from Otaki Forks… seems a lifetime ago.

What I really like about these two graphs is that ACTs vote is going in the opposite direction to truancy. I.e. vote go down, truancy go up. I make no claims regarding causation or correlation. #nzpol

For the graph junkies interested in the performance of the NZ Government, and particularly David Seymour. Here are the truancy numbers for 2025 to date. You'll note they are trending up. This is precisely the opposite direction of down. i.e. decreasing attendance, not increasing attendance. #nzpol.
