this week in news

New Zealand media are still giving Brian Tamaki air time. Why? I have no idea, probably for internet points. This is especially disappointing as it serves to give further air time to a group whose behaviour incites violence and blames victims. I'd like to think he'd go away if people stopped hearing about him. Linking to the recent articles seems to perpetuate more air time. It's a viscous cycle. However, here and here.

Michael Hill Jeweller's recent advertising is all about buying your "work mum" and your mum gifts for mothers day. How about just putting your dishes in the dishwasher, "work mum" will thank you for it. But really, she's just sick of your shit, she's not your mum, clean up after your own self. See Also: Madeleine Chapman's write up and this excellent twitter thread. When I first saw the ad I thought the woman in the yellow top was his wife and couldn't work out why she was being referred to as "work mum". Turns out, dudes have "work mums". The more you know.

In Art News, the courier who dropped off a small package probably wondered what the hell he'd just walked in to.
