The problem with living and working in UAE is that if I do take all the street cats home I don't know how I'm going to look after them for the two months I'm shipped back home to AU.

“Can I go check a pulse?” a bystander said after Good was shot, his hands in the air.
“No! Back up!” an ICE agent told him.
“I’m a physician!”
“I don’t care!” the agent replied, before another came up and said they had their own EMS on the way.

The United States of America, its corrupt and lawless regime, and its savagely violent and anti-democratic populace are a clear, present, and undeniable threat to the safety and security of every other nation on this Earth. We must ban migration from this rogue state and deport their terrorists now.

Fucking hell, does no-one don basic comprehension any more? Zelenskyy says that all Ukrainians may have one wish - that he (Putin) will perish - but that when they pray to God, they should ask for peace.
The wish is for peace - even if it's completely understandable to want Putin dead.

And another thing: We didn’t train the ocelot to be a bookseller. Please don’t put it in the newspaper that we trained an ocelot to be a bookseller
have just received word that the faber & faber christmas crackers this year contain this as a 'fun fact': "DID YOU KNOW - in 2024, an ocelot was trained to be a Bookseller". this is just not the case. they did indeed let it loose in the shop, but it very rapidly had to be gathered up again
