I think that aforesaid 'cosmic bank manager' is probably crying in his/her beer and complaining about overdrafts and wondering about govt bailouts

Hard News: The witless on the pitiless, in reply to recordari,
yeah but the reason why it's hard for you is because the americans who made your computer don't much care about te reo - that's understandable I guess - but it's one of our national languages - I think it shouldn't be OK to sell a computer in NZ that can't be used with our national languages - your computer isn't fit for purpose if you can't type macrons - if Dell, Apple at al can figure out how to put a NZ power plug in the box then they can also include the software widget to let you type macrons

I saw this tonight in Dunedin - it certainly wears its heart on it's sleeve and is still well worth seeing.
It's playing again tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Rialto at 11:15am.
Seeing Ross Meurant (of springbok tour red squad fame) now framed as the good guy is decidedly unsettling
Right before op 8 also saw the movie before "White Meadows" an Iranian Movie that was full of allegory about the current regime - it's both bizarre and excellent, I think I need to see it again - the director and editor of that film got 6 years in jail and are banned from film making for 20 years - at least here we can still make these sorts of movies and don't have to hide their meanings under layers of symbolism to try and stay out of jail.

oooh that's new - probably wouldn't work from my car though (the main place I ever listened to KQED)

Hard News: Asking for a Contribution, in reply to Simon Telfer,
The problem with KQED (and the other NPR stations) pledge drives is that giving them money doesn't actually make them stop the inane pledge drives -0 if anything it only encourages them to do it again
