1. The first thing that should be said about the fatal shooting in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer is that the victim’s name is Renee Nicole Good.

My Jilly Cooper story... I worked in Dixons, Cheltenham, for a miserable two weeks over Christmas when I was a student. Jilly Cooper came in and whilst I was sticking security tags on joysticks she shot me a smile that a hungry man would give a plate of chips. Still gives me nightmares.

Hats off to Starbucks for the design of their ghost cookies. They really put the willies up.
Cheeky photo of a Starbucks ghost cookie I photographed. The placement of the cookie in the shelving obscures the lower detail such that the tip of a pumpkin stalk makes it look like the ghost has an erection. 

Yes. I know I need to grow up. And no, I shan't.

The bill eliminates the $200 registration fee for gun silencers, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns & other easily concealable guns (that actually goes towards registering, background checks, etc) It adds fees for dialysis patients to be able to receive necessary treatment to stay alive

"We buy 100% green energy" is a cop out large corporations take to not reduce their own energy consumption. Especially co-located data centres. The greenwashing is atrocious. They'll buy "green electricity" in south Korea to offset the dirty kWh they are consuming in Singapore. Accountancy tricks.
