In Wellington, Green Party MP Teanau Tuiono introduced the Tohorā Oranga Bill — the Whale Health Bill — proposing legal personhood for Pacific whales. Not protection. Personhood.

The land has always known what we are pretending to discover. This is not sentiment. This is metaphysics rewritten.

Do octopus brains work like humans’ — or is there another way to be smart?

Just like vertebrates, cephalopods — such as octopuses and squid — have elaborate brains. Neuroscientists are flocking to them for insights into how intelligence evolved.
