Things that totally suck
I wrote about this very topic a long time ago:
Men who are broken-hearted or just unlucky in love could be more likely to have health-damaging inflammation, new research suggests.
Serious breakups and solo living for many years may increase the risk of ill health and death — but apparently only for men, according to the researchers behind a new Danish study.
All my suggestions are still valid.
Zuckerberg’s company, Meta (formerly Facebook), announced it would lease offices in a massive new building in Austin, Texas.
Looks like we executed Timothy McVeigh too soon.
Do we really need that kind of company in Texas or, more to the point, hundreds of their insufferably-woke Gen Z employees to poison the voting pool?
If these little shits can ban someone from their poxy spy platform for calling Fauci an insufferable motherfucker, can we not ban them from Texas for meddling in elections?
Some good news, if it can be called that, is that they’ll be in downtown Austin, where the homeless encampments, needles in the streets and aggressive panhandlers should make them feel quite at home — as will the foul Green laws that govern life in Austin.
And the other “good” news: at least Faecesbook is not moving to Plano.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to look at real estate in western Montana/ Wyoming, just in case .
I see that 2022 is off to a good start (for some Australians, anyway):
People in the path of a bushfire raging in Perth’s leafy western suburbs have been urged to leave if they are not prepared to actively defend their homes.
The fire is burning in dense and dry bushland at Bold Park in Floreat about 10km west of Perth, near City Beach.
Of course, the fire also drives before it mice, snakes, spiders, etc. so it’s not just the fires the Aussies have to deal with.
Like we didn’t have enough already…
A new snake species has slithered its way into the list of reptiles…
Key word: India
In June 2020, he posted a photo of a kukri snake — known for its curved teeth that resemble the Nepali dagger “Kukri”.
Oh how charming, fangs shaped like this:
Burn them with fire.
Here’s one that made me go “Hmmm”:
Cocaine trafficker, 28, was caught by police after moaning on encrypted phone network Encrochat about how Covid lockdown was affecting his international drug dealing business.
Now I don’t care about this asshole — he got 16 years, and that’s good — but I can’t help wondering…
No, I’m not wondering. It’s clear that all this encryption protection that the public imagines they’re getting is no more than a figleaf.
And yes I know, EncroChat was nothing more than a criminal enterprise facilitator — but remember that it’s the Fuzz who decides what exactly constitutes a “criminal enterprise”, and if they could penetrate EncroChat, they could have — and may already have — penetrated any encryption system or software.
Caveat emptor.
