A Pigeon is still faster than the Internet.
In 2009, a company in South Africa proved a homing pigeon was faster than an ADSL connection, flying a 4 GB USB flash drive to prove it. Besides IEEE's speculative work, nobody's actually re-run the 'bird vs. Internet' race in over a decade. Now that I have gigabit fiber, I thought I'd give it a try.

Review: To the North.
What is most unnerving about To the North is how easy it is to understand all of the points of view at play here. Of course, the audience will root for Dumitru, the young man coming from a poor country and willing to do anything – even die – in order to turn his fantasy about America into reality. The audience will be impressed by Joel’s kindness and his Christian ideals, which push him to help a man he knows nothing about. But what if this game between right and wrong is much more complex than one would expect?

“Too big to cancel”: can we still listen to Michael Jackson?
All forced conversations in America about race, sex and celebrity are inevitably framed by horror and absurdity, history and the modern day. Because of this, many of my people – as in American born Blackfolk – refuse to countenance moral or legal absolutes when allegations of our stars committing sexual assault hit the news. They instead invoke a form of mathematical objectivity in pursuit of American democracy’s most impossible dream: a racialised level playing field. In this accounting, Bill Cosby and R Kelly aren’t defended despite victim-testimony and compelling evidence, but because not enough equally evil-ass white men have suffered enough public shaming for their crimes.
