News fans and cool people may argue about the title.

Design folk might grumble about the lighting and fonts.

Comedy lovers might, etc.

But, as Hugh Cooney explains…

Cool Newz anchor Martin Cullen has been bringing the heat in the news room since he can’t remember. thrashing out all of the important tissues. His cut throat interview techniques have left many a person backed into the corner of the ropes. This Cool Newz Bulletin deals with some cultural issues.

It actually came in under budget.

Stay for the closing theme music.

Hollerings: 3 Stories in Wood by Lara Gallagher and Andrew Ellmaker presents three family vignettes ‘acted out’ by expressionless wooden skittles on miniature sets.

Which shouldn’t work. But somehow does.

Storytelling is all.

According to Melbourne restauranteur Paul Mathis, the word ‘the’ should be interchangeable with the new symbol “Ћ” (just as ‘and’ is represented by ‘&’) not only because the most used word in the English language deserves its own symbol, but also, slightly more tenuously, to make texting and typing faster.

He’s already invested AUS$75,000 in a mobile app to help make it happen.

From The Irish Family Planning Association:

Figures published today by the UK Department of Health show that in 2012, a total of 3,982 women with Irish addresses accessed abortion services in the UK.

IFPA Chief Executive Niall Behan said: “It is unacceptable that women in Ireland must rely on UK health services to provide access to safe and legal abortion. The ban on lawful abortion services in Ireland does not deter women from having abortions; it places the burden of accessing this necessary health service on women.

“In the last ten years the IFPA has received over 40,000 calls to our national helpline and provided non-directive counselling to more than 12,000 women. Every day we hear from women who have to leave this country to access health services that should be available in Ireland.”

Strzałkowski explains his work and inspiration here in an interview with EverMotion.
