News Of The Week

Welcome to Books & Articles Weekly.

Thanks to everyone who contributed. This was another very good week for the territory. @cryotosensei gave us the top post. @BookGirl gave us FOUR of the top five posts. In my opinion her book reviews have breathed new life into this territory. I don’t think I’m the only one to feel this way, as is evidenced by the zaps and engagement she has been getting.

Reminder: For the time being I will zap the top post half the rewards I receive before the next week’s issue, rather than split zaps into cowboy credits.

Happy reading!

As always, please reply with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.

One Register to Rule them All: what Stats NZ is planning behind closed doors by @DarthCoin

This post by @DarthCoin received little attention, but it exposes a frightening initiative by Stats NZ that will “link business, location and population registers giving a nearly complete picture of a person’s life over time.”

The link is to the first article of a four part investigation.

Let's pretend we loved each other, let's pretend we believed we could Let's pretend we blindly believe in destiny, in written destinies, and be at peace with our own impossibility, let's blame the stars. Let's pretend that on rainy nights we remember each other. I'll pretend to believe that my image of that night under the umbrella has taken over your thoughts. And you'll pretend to think that I'm looking for you in some rain poem. Let's pretend that you understood my silence in the room And that you didn't notice the pain or the tears I tried to hide as I sipped yesterday's leftover wine And that my melancholy didn't leave you indifferent. And I'll pretend that your coldness didn't numb me... Let's pretend that you loved me deeply, Let's pretend that you realised that you "missed me" when you returned alone to the streets where when you returned alone to the streets where you once held my hand. Whenever I fear my own death, I'll pretend to believe that you have chosen to be my god,
