@deadsuperhero lol. At one place, during the 6 months I worked there, we lost a third of the staff (and that included doubling the number from when I first started). Within 2-3 years everyone had left (and been replaced) including all the managers. That was considered normal.

I understand the need for paywalls overall, but I don’t love voter guides being behind them in particular. They feel core to the public service local newsrooms provide: the benefit to local democracy should outweigh commercial considerations. But am I wrong?

A view from near the #Punggol library. #Haze #Singapore
A look across a field showing the different levels of visibility due to the haze. 

Foreground: a sign indicating a shared path. 

Midground: Bushes and a white apartment block partially obscured by the haze. 

Background: More white apartment blocks barely discernable from the grey haze.

Died and gone to cheese heaven. Yes. Those are bottles of liquor in the cheeses 🤯
A whole wheel of Blue Shropshire with an overturned bottle of beer upturned into it, and a whole wheel of blue stilton with an upturned bottle of port in it. Two large wheels of gorgonzola with their tops cut off. One has an open bottle of cognac in it and the other is mixed through with fresh bits of black truffle. 
They are surrounded by smaller metal baskets of broken up stilton and Roquefort.

🎯 'A man raped her' instead of 'she was raped.' Have you ever read a headline that reads "A bank was robbed by a suspect?" Nope. It's "A suspect robbed a bank."

Looking up at the Milky Way vertically across the photo, with the Andromeda Galaxy easily visible.  There are the tops of a couple of spruce trees silhouetted down in the corner.  And a lot of satellite streaks all over the photo.The moon rising above the horizon, with a streak from headlights as someone drives by, and lots of satellite streaks in front of the Milky Way vertically across the photo.
