WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

Sometimes I think general life is just Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill to watch it roll back down. Then the thought comes to me that it is soup season and I can make my own vegetable stock. Romanticise your life! It’s not boiling potatoes. It’s brewing potato potions.

No part of the public sector is more broken or brings with it greater political risk. As we saw these past two weeks.
