Sounds cool, but I can guarantee some mobster would come and get it back one way or the other. I’d rather reach some agreement with Police to donate the money to the Drug Foundation or something similar. And do that very publicly. And then move house.

2045: We are now in receivership as the impact of the Climate Wars and collapse of the global food supply means we can no longer fly. Wellington airport is 2 feet underwater anyway.

Perhaps they could consider setting new targets before axing the old ones?

Yarp.

Seems like an overtly political - not religious - action. Hopefully they once again lose their tax-exempt status.

What an absolute legend. Give him a medal.

Got a gull stuck in the decorative grill on the front of our office once. Spent the whole morning shrieking, seemed like he was stuck. Called the council, SPCA, building owner, nobody wanted to help.

Then after a few hours the bastard quite calmly hopped up and flew out.

That gull was a dick. We named him Greg.

Better to ask forgiveness rather than permission.

Nitrates in drinking water are linked to cancer and birth defects. In high-enough concentrations it can trigger blue-baby syndrome, which can straight-up kill babies.

Got an email advertising cyber monday sales on firewood. Yup, logs of wood. For cyber monday.

100%. Unless the toilet has a dedicated ass-wiping professional I’m not paying to use it.

There is actually a movie about it called Mr Organ. I recommend it.

This is basically the plot to Nothing but Trouble.

“Prior to this attack, the man arrested had been receiving support of the mental health services,” Patel added.

Sounds like a lone-wolf with some complex stuff going on. Still horrible.

Summer interns starting today, why do I do this to myself?

Update: this year’s crop is great! I am so tired.

Education is really important. But you can lift people out of poverty just by straight-up giving them money too. A properly-funded welfare system (or a UBI) would go a long way to truly ending poverty. Childhood poverty is such a strong predictor for anti-social behaviours like gang membership, crime, unemployment, that it blows my mind we don’t just funnel money to people to break them out of the inter-generational poverty loop.

Had a persistent headache all of yesterday, took the afternoon off. This morning I realised I hadn’t had any coffee yesterday. I truly am an addict.
