This collaborative PhD project with the LSE and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, on Planting Decolonization: Plantation Science and Empire in the Twentieth Century, sounds amazing.

I’m sure many of you might be interested.

Today’s book pile brought to you by Healey, Jacobs, Winograd & Flores, Nussbaum, Menzies, and MacFarlane. I am loving this research life.

Book spines for Collaborative planning by Healey, Jane Jacobs famous book on the death and life of American cities, a blue spine of Winograd and Flores Understanding Computers and Cognition’. A brown and upside down volume of Martha Nussbaum’a tome on the social contract, then a small edition of Pam Menzies’ social history of Port Kembla and the glossary of landscapes from Robert MacFarlane.

Yeah I dunno, maybe if I was creating a government document I might hide the fact I’d used ChatGPT to find the information.

Screenshot of a page from the Explanation of Intended Effect document from the Port Kembla Land Transformation project. There is a paragraph of text relating to “Local Contributions” and then a URL at the end where they’ve not taken off the UTM source, in this case ChatGPT.

Igor Stravinsky could have heard all the original Beatles albums. And he DID hear Charlie Parker live in a club once; Parker acknowledged his presence by quoting a melody from the Firebird (in some tellings, the Rite of Spring), causing Stravinsky to pound his table in laughter, spilling his drink.

The seemingly deliberate misuse of the term “astroturfing” is one thing I noticed, as was the amount of submissions from the Illawarra (having just gone through the offshore wind process), and the lack of media organisation submissions (only 2 that I could see)

The Member for Pittwater replied “It was not my yacht”.

Kimberley Crofts 🍉 @ktcita.bsky.social · 3d

The Labor Member for Manly quipped that “I was surprised when the honourable member for Pittwater complained about lack of time to study the bills… it seems that he did not have time to study the bills on Friday because he was out in his yacht. Whether he had the bills with him I do not know.”

November 1979 when the Environmental Planning & Assessment Bill was enjoying its second reading in the NSW Legislative Assembly, the Liberal Member for Pittwater complained of the great volume of material that needed to be read and that some 407 amendments had to be digested over a weekend.
