@sarahpolo10 @gtiso @tzemingdynasty I read it and thought, whoopty fuckin' dop.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

But as America continues to record multiple, daily, mass shootings, *The Onion*'s writers needed something else. Yesterday, they ran "Americans Describe What It’s Like Surviving A Mass Shooting," and oh shit is it a doozy:

Sigh. Really missing the 4 pizzas + 2 sides deal that @dominos_NZ used to offer. With 4 kids, that was my go to.

If you’re disabled and standing as a candidate in parliamentary elections, you may be eligible for help with costs non-disabled candidates don’t face.

The Election Access Fund can help with these costs, such as support people.

When do we get to talk about removing the money from politics? Is it now, or do we wait until we are just like the US?

Hogan's Heroes ran 1965-1971:
A campy spy comedy set in a POW camp in Nazi Germany, which feels like a very weird choice.

In poor taste, honestly.

Learning about the actors has given me a new perspective:

First, every major German character was played by a Jewish actor.

@farmgeek I'm, sorry, HOW MUCH rain?!

Yikes.

@ibeardslee My suspicion was correct. She has a small collection of feijoas to eat now.

[Andrew Ruthven @puck_]

@ibeardslee I have discovered I have a feijoa tree in my backyard. I thought I did, but this is the first year there has been fruit on it.

I don't like feijoas, but my 8yo loves them. She is going to be super excited when I show her later this afternoon.

@ChrisKeall Great to see they've included an Ethernet port!

I’ll keep saying this until I’m blue in the face: until recently, public holidays were an opportunity for the railways and saw massive patronage. It is frustrating that this market for travel is now totally neglected
