  • Hard News: The Honours,

    If we're going to legalise something, and let someone sell it in the capitalist marketplace in a relatively liberal way, then getting upset when someone turns out to be good at selling it and it causes heaps of harm... not surprising.

    Not surprising, no... but honour-worthy?

  • Hard News: Holiday Musings,

    "A familiarity with the 3D movie and the works of Jean Baudrillard may help render this more intelligible. "

    Priceless.

    (and point out phenomenal things)

    Hah! I think you should get some sort of retainer for that.

    Let me re-explain. For the nine hundredth time.

    This is screaming for a Power Point treatment. Honestly, think how many times you could recycle it. Also

    It's not the reporting. It's how we're reporting.

    Love it.

  • Busytown: Holiday reading lust,

    Discovered Dr Colquhoun after reading a transcript of a talk he gave at a conference entitled The Therapeutic Uses of Ache, which was reprinted in Scoop in November.

    Bloody hell - thanks so much for that link.

  • Hard News: The Honours,

    This takes me back exactly ten years. If it wasn't for the discussion back then about whether the year 2000 was the actual beginning of the new millennium* I think the Internet might have just fizzed out.


    *It wasn't.

  • Up Front: Something for Your Hangover,

    Which: ewww.

    Forget about coming up with new domain names, I think that should be the prefix of so much www content.

  • Hard News: You're all fabulous,

    Haven't been able to think of anything better to say for a few days.

  • Speaker: ACTA: Don't sell us down the river,

    And finally, I didn't mean to get sucked into this vortex. So I'll try to exit if I can. But it's ... so... hard... Help!

    I had to take up hard drugs. A costly move, but in hindsight I think it was worth it.

  • Field Theory: One in a billion,

    There is a large group of men who think of themselves as heterosexual, even when it is evident they are not.

    The Onion has more.

  • Random Play: Goodbye to all that,

    I also think that there is something really nasty brewing in American politics, and that we will see the first real fruits of it next year. Ugh.

    I was going to poo-poo your pessimism but then I read that Bondy has retired from test cricket so yeah, I think that's going to open the floodgates in a cosmic sort of way.

    What will the pizzeria be indeed.
