Hi!
They're all good dogs, SM!
three black dogs with glowing eyes are standing next to each other with their mouths open
Alt: A three-headed hell-hound growling. The insides of their mouths are glowing like fire. I imagine when they lift a leg they're pissing acid, or napalm or something hellish like that.

Wow! Look at that green shoot! Will the government take credit for this growth industry?
Drug consumption has rocketed over the past two years. Meth use has nearly doubled during that time. Support for people affected by drug abuse needs more support given this weight of consumption.

Our old cat used to do that - of course he'd pop outside and walk across the dewy lawn before he put his cold, wet feet on my snoozing face.

I actually don't think there's anything more beautiful than a group of dorks with varying flavors of neurodivergence pretending to be a group of equally varied little freaks who wander the countryside seeking adventure and justice for a few hours a week.

Australia: let’s roll out so much rooftop solar you can have free power during the day
NZ: businesses are closing down because they can’t afford power so we’re building a one billion dollar fossil fuel terminal so we can keep not having free power

New liquified natural gas terminal: 'Vital' or 'bonkers'?

The government wants taxpayers to pay for a new liquified natural gas import terminal, but is promising lower power prices will come as a result.

Such a rort! I've had three dogs, one cat, two boys and one mother-in-law over the past 24 years in our house. The pets combined did less damage over the years than any of the others alone!
Nobody give the landlords the idea of charging a sprog bond!

Peter Jackson and the Three Investigators. Three feisty tweens (all mo-capped by Andy Serkis) work their way through the first half of a 120-page kids mystery novel over the course of three 290-minute movies. The director's cut takes these to 340 minutes each.

Just so we're all totally clear here. Everyone has to pay more because this government scrapped projects for electrification, ignored advice from the sector on transitioning off gas, and wants to build a terminal that is unlikely to be usable for $1 billion plus - money they said we didn't have.

Yeah well I may not necessarily love picking up poop so I guess we're all gonna have to make some sacrifices.

I used to use a retractable lead for my beasties, but they just spent all the time at max stretch so I switched back to a normal one.
