New book on the history of McGill University - written and edited by historians, not the university's comms department. I wrote a chapter on how Indigenous dispossession and colonial politicians saved McGill when it was in danger of going broke. Others cover McGill's ties to chattel slavery, Japanese exclusion, research of various sorts, student lives, queer experiences, and more.

Been playing this cool game on Switch called Insectum. It's tower defense/strategy with bugs. I love games like this.

Die Switch2 ist mal wieder bei Amazon und Mediamarkt ausverkauft. Dabei ist sie schon seit 5 Monaten auf dem Markt, hat schon weit über 10 Millionen Mal verkauft und Weihnachten ist ja auch noch ein paar Tage hin.
Ich finde den Hype, den Nintendo da hinbekommen hat, echt beeindruckend. Hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass eine Spielekonsole noch mal so richtig einschlägt.

Ugh, listening to Kathryn Ryan on RNZ NineToNoon interviewing Sonny Taite(?) about an 'AI' scribe to take hospital staff clinical notes. Why - oh why - doesn't she ask the important question: where does the data go?! Which jurisdiction? Who's storing it? Who has access? Who cares for it and maintains its security & integrity? Her producers miss it every bloody time. Very disappointing.
