If you're a vegan it is okay to eat a comet but not so much an asteroid because they're a little meteor

love when there's an article about how life is sustainable in the superheated waters surrounding a hydrothermal volcanic fissure on the ocean floor and then like six paragraphs in you find out the author's parents are chemosynthetic bacteria 🙄

Watch: 'It needs to stop' - Police given new powers to clear beggars and rough sleepers Breaching a move-on order may lead to a $2,000 fine or three months in jail.

I knew it would be bad but this is draconian - note it is for anyone 14 years and over and it will be a $2k fine for people with no money so instead they will go to prison. It thus becomes move on to prison. This is not a solution to homelessness. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/governmen...

winston is never fucking happy, thatr's not newsworthy. He's a sad, pathetic old man.

Curious.
This headline seems not to reflect the truth of the matter, as Winston WAS approached early and did NOT stop the Bill.

This press release framing is kinda strange

Damn, just did a little search and they have a full on collaboration. Very disappointing

🚨Your regular reminder to STAY OUT of flood waters.
🚨 You can be washed away by far shallower water than you’d think, and flood water is full of debris and probably contaminated 💩
🚨Follow the instructions of civil defence, evacuate early if you feel unsafe.
❤️Stay safe and look after each other

When I tried to put $100,000 in the budget to purchase scientific data on how increased heat and flooding would effect our city, I was mocked, ridiculed, and bullied on the public record by my fellow councillors because we "couldn't afford" it. A hundred thousand dollars.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.
