It must be soul destroying as a manufacturer, especially a small manufacturer, when Foodstuffs decides to launch Pam’s in your grocery category. The latest victim: oat milk.

Stuff's online masthead with the breaking news banner showing "Building partially collapses in 'tornado' in Auckland Follow live" and the top story having the headline: "Live: 'Tornado' report in Auckland; state of emergency in flooded south" with a photo of bad weather.

I guess it is Stuff's birthday or something? But confetti seems slightly misplaced this morning.

Third of emergency housing applications being rejected by MSD The Ministry of Social Development is declining more than 90 emergency housing applications a month because people have "caused or contributed to their immediate need".

NZ Ministry of Social Development declines > 90 emergency housing applications a month because people have "caused or contributed to their immediate need".

Will HealthNZ or NZ hospitals decline to treat patients with lung cancer if they are or were smokers?

Who at Microsoft decided that sending users to b2clogin dot com as a legitimate login page for third party apps is a good idea? This is like training people to ignore the warning signs of phishing.

For those who keep score, none of the "top" 11 law schools signed. But a big swath of the next-in-line did: #12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21 and 24. (Berkeley, UCLA, Cornell, Georgetown, Minnesota, UNC-Chapel Hill, Boston University). They are modeling leadership and unity for us.

Dean Chemerinsky and other #lawschool deans "speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."

Yesterday was the 57th anniversary of the My Lai massacre.

I don't think there has been a time where Hugh Thompson Jnr's behaviour, and his actions that day, have been more relevant to US history than they are right now.

A third major law firm, WilmerHale, wins a temporary restraining order BLOCKING Trump's executive order targeting it.

"The injuries to plaintiff here would be severe and spill over to its clients and the justice system at large."
