How to stop a workplace conversation: A colleague starts going on about the HIV epidemic in Fiji. Says some ignorant things. So does another. I say”having lived with HIV & AIDS since the 80s, here’s my take…” people shut up and return to their desks.

Just started this. He’s calm, lucid, and supplies facts. Great reporting. And if he’s wrong I’m sure someone will take him to court.

I know people instinctively recoil at monocausal explanations and want important trends to have sufficiently weighty causes, but “We built a novel social environment that rewards anger and lurid pessimism and moved 95% of political discourse into it” is a pretty good explanation for a lot of stuff

The Houndy Helpers members and friends gathered for the annual Great Global Greyhound Walk at Cornwall Park this morning. Even with shit weather we ended up with 93 sighthounds (1 deerhound and 2 whippets included). It was a great event. And Aggie was doing her best Stevie Nicks impression.

These men drugged a young woman and took turns raping her. In a group chat, they took a picture of her and invited others to come over and rape her. Only two of them were expelled, while the others had to write an ESSAY. You should be outraged by the outcome. #CornellUniversity

To those who might be surprised that Stuff is giving airtime mainly to the denials of the stars of Dirty Work, remember that they’ve worked with the TPU for years and hired Matthew Hooton as an editor. Individual journos have a range of views but the establishment is dyed-in-the-wool neoliberal

Nicky Hager's book reminds me of Jordan Williams & Slater old leaked texts What surprises me is that Jordan Williams, Taxpayers Union & co are still considered credible members of society by media simply because they are well funded and sworn partners of right wing networks #kiwi #NickyHager

Troops leaked photos of their wrecked bases to CBS, saying they're "standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face" One soldier's words: "We're not defending these bases. We're just watching them get destroyed."

The Coalition Govt will tax Aucklanders $5 billion to pay for the infrastructure to support the fast track housing developments for National Party donors. We pay so National's donors can get richer. Then we'll pay again to bail them out when they flood.

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
