Hard News: How do we all move past our…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Well bringing people together would be helped by not running Andrea Vance pieces like this:
My theory of the past month has been that we're all processing anxiety in different ways. This certainly isn't Andrea's best work. What's she doing here? telling everyone off?

Not trying to be a downer here, it could be that the study is indeed promising depending upon what was measured, but it’s unlikely a slam dunk by any measure…In God We Trust, all others must bring data.
Fair enough. Would you agree that it suggests that wider trialling is warranted? That's really what I'm saying here. It seemed to me that a plausible treatment was missing further investigation for other-than-medical reasons.

And there will be positives like having one of the only places in the world with a workable film industry.
Yeah, I guess, once things settle down. Two weeks' quarantine could be built into the production workflow.

A fairly withering Greater Auckland post on how Auckland Transport has the funding and the imperative to change public spaces, but it dumped the relevant skill base to save money.

Hard News: Music is coming home, in reply to Mike O'Connell,
And a BIG shout out to Brian Feary from Melted Ice Cream for making this happen.
The highlight for me was Lawrence Arabia finishing his all-covers set with 'You'll Never Walk Alone' for his mum, who is alone in lockdown, the day before her birthday. She's from Liverpool.

Radiation: Spencer Stoner: going with…, in reply to Alfie,
As a former film and TV editor, I have problems watching hours of what appears to be rushes from a cameraman who forgot to repo or change the shot size.
It’s a different kind of production and the fixed camera is part of it. I’m fascinated by the way sound is so important. There are no voices, so the field sound is a big part of things.
This one does have a wider variety of shots than Going South though, and a lot of it’s more conventional nature doc than just fixed cameras. There's just no commentary.
I just found out that they had they finish post-production from their respective homes under lockdown, which is pretty wild.

Radiation: Spencer Stoner: going with…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Speaking of ‘slow TV’ – It is worth doing a 7-day free trial on Amazon-Prime TV just to watch Tales from the Loop (8 episodes)
We watched the first one the other night. It's freaky!
