Had this with a story about women in the unusual field of artificial breeding of cows, headlined with “mum army”.

Always a good sign of how things are going in a profession when there’s a Christmas party warning.

HDPA needs to resign over this. Women don’t need to be perfect victims to speak up. This woman has been mistreated by McSkimming, the Police and now NZME because of her desperation at being silenced by the agency women are told they MUST go to in order to be believed.

RNZ’s headline on the death of Lee Tamahori describes him as a “legendary Ngāti Porou filmmaker”.
1News, the Herald and Stuff, on the other hand, just went with “Once Were Warriors director”.

Sorry, given we’ve just hit a nine-year high in unemployment, it’s frankly irresponsible that RNZ angled its coverage of KiwiSaver hardship withdrawals this way.

That wonderful photo of the dapper Frenchman is legit (it’s by AP photographer Thibault Camus) but there’s no proof he’s a detective or has connections to the Louve investigation, as some have claimed.

Travelling in China, we’ve spotted some great shirts.
Misspellings, nonsense phrases or outright absurdities (such as swear words on children’s clothing).
One which just repeated the phrase “fuck you” to form the silhouette of a panda. It takes the cake so far.
This comes in second.

Jacquie Sturm’s poem Brown Optimism on the side of the Wellington library is incredible!
I just wish it noted that she worked at the library for ages.
Otherwise it’s just a poem on a library wall that seemingly doesn’t connect to a particular place - until you find out Sturm‘s history.

Damn I always suspected the dude was about my age, but he’s even younger than me. I swear he was giving advice when I first started as a journo and that was when I was 19 🧐
Ah Wikipedia… that tracks…
Damn the way we just jump to giving white boys the title of expert.
