  • Hard News: Kittens and puppies for happiness,

    I'm unable to watch the accompanying video, and I've become quite cynical about the veracity of things that do the rounds on the internet, but I'm sticking my fingers in my ears, yelling "Na, na, na, na, I can't hear you", and believing this story of the faithful Japanese dog is real: http://www.metro.co.uk/news/858361-video-japanese-dog-leads-rescuers-to-injured-companion

  • Hard News: Nothing important, just some tunes,

    I thought you did a great job getting the tone right. Quietly moving and informative.

  • Hard News: Welfare: Back to the Future?,

    "a publicity campaign aimed at reducing public tolerance of fraud and abuse"

    Oopsies. Your bigotry is showing through.

    But as long as taxpayer money is being spent on publicity campaigns instead of supporting those in need, it's all good.

  • Hard News: Welfare: Back to the Future?,

    The gap between theoretically being able to work 15 hours a week, and finding someone to employ a sick or disabled person for the variable 15 hours a week they're not incapacitated is vast.

    Thank goodness we're running at full employment for the healthy though, right?

  • Speaker: Medical Journal, Chapter V,

    I watched my boyfriend's vasectomy (quality control) and thoroughly enjoyed it. He got given valium. All in all a great outing for couples.

  • Hard News: Going Social,

    Humans act like humans whatever the medium they have at their disposal. Doesn't it all come down to changing your own behaviour if something doesn't work for you? Everything we do has costs and benefits associated with it. Something something cake.

  • Busytown: Front, man,

    It's most peculiar how quiet the free speechers are when that free speech is coming from the mouth of Hone Harawira. Or Tame Iti. Or anyone not the white kind of outspoken.

  • Southerly: The Truth About Talkback,

    He picked a Maybelline eyeliner from the drawer and stepped closer to the mirror. Shimmering Onyx. The perfect glossy black to distract attention from his compound eyes.

  • Hard News: Doing Science in Court,

    According to the NIWA site their methodology was published in the International Journal of Climatology. I don't have access so I don't know what this paper contains.

    Also, the eleven site series unadjusted data shows a warming trend just as the seven site series adjusted data does.

  • Hard News: Doing Science in Court,

    Even if the New Zealand temperature record showed no change, or a decrease in average temperature, that wouldn't make any difference to the reality of Global Climate Change. Beating up on NIWA isn't going to stop a glacier melting in Greenland.

    Of course they know that. Something something cynical and frivolous use of the justice system for PR purposes.
