Up Front: Well, Read Women, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
It was the 100th anniversary of the Moomin books last year. Japan went crazy too :)

Hard News: Meet me at Camera 2: White, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
What you're missing out on there is 'intersectionality'. So a disabled Berkeley academic's dis-privilege intersects with the privileges that go with coming from a rich family, for instance, being white, or being educated.
If, for example the Chancellor of Auckland University was Maori, they would have the dis-privilege of being more likely to be pulled over by the police while driving, perhaps, intersecting with the money and power of that position.

Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Richard Grevers,
Yes! Yes! Crazy that it hasn't been brought to light, when he gained the National leadership (or was challenging for it? Memory's a bit dodgy that far back) that would have been the ideal time.

Hyup, indeed. So many things about this world are just sick and wrong.

Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to Dismal Soyanz,
And the MSM, are they going to want to associate with him anymore, especially after his attempt to sue a large part of it?
They will associate with whomever they believe will give them the hot stories, juicy, seedy stories, because that's what they've proved themselves interested in, not the stories that require thought, effort, or investigation on their part.

Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to Hilary Stace,
his candid and neutral opinion (he doesn't vote)
Not voting does *not* make you "neutral", for goodness sake. Stop peddling this nonsense. Everyone has biases built into their world view from their experiences and beliefs they've grown up with.

read about America's food industry
If you're interested, the excellent documentary "Food, Inc." is on youtube. Makes me very grateful that most of our meat isn't produced like that.

Thanks ^_^
I'll be a bit cheeky, and post a few from the northern spring, earlier this year. Haven't been inspired much by life round here.

Thanks, yeah, still getting used to things.
