We see injustice in the 180:1 ratio between the compensation of Harvard’s highest-paid employee—the head of internal...

I’ve had one of those productive-in-a-not-really-all-that-productive-and-pretty-selfish-really kind of nights.
I consolidated all of my music files and then switched my media player from iTunes to foobar2000, which feels great, except I am now at the beginning of a really long and arduous ID3 tagging clean-up mission, which, with about 300 GB of music, appears incredibly daunting right...

New Zealand General Election 2011: Political... →

Given the Kiwi tendency to confuse critical thinking with the national no-no of “negative thinking”, National’s up-beat election posters probably hit the popular mood. While short on substance, the slogan Building a Brighter Future invariably accompanied by a shot of the ever-smiling John Key, should...

The second Big Day Out announcement was made this morning; a lot of people are angry.

I fully support this. Please, if any of you are for a better environment do give this movement a moment of your time.
I feel like this movement is too radical at the moment to get much public attention. At the moment. There will definitely be a point where this resistance gains an incredibly large following, because fuck the 1% that...

This is farcical. Students occupy a university building to protest the presence of armed police thugs on campus, and, as if on cue, hundreds of armed police thugs attack the students on university property.
