Maybe it was created by flying pigs...💀 There's a lot of talented journalists out there, unfortunately fewer every day are employed by formerly credible publications.
Occam's razor is a problem-solving principle that states the simplest explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is often the best. Attributed to the 14th-century philosopher William of Ockham, it suggests that entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity, encouraging the "shaving away" of unnecessary complexity to find the most likely or direct solution. It is a heuristic, or rule of thumb, used in many fields like science, design, and medicine, and is not an absolute law. The principle: When presented with competing explanations for the same phenomenon, choose the one that is more economical in its assumptions. Example: If you hear hoofbeats, it is more likely to be a horse than a zebra, especially if you are in a location where horses are common and zebras are not.

It’s been so hard but I had to make the call to euthanise my dear old dog a week or so ago. His brain was rapidly deteriorating and I didn’t want a traumatic situation to end our amazing relationship of companionship and protection. RIP my beautiful Marley. ❤️

They’re amazing eh. I’ve got a few things growing but I haven’t been as on to them as I should. Have beautiful dahlias this year though. These tubers were from my late mum’s garden.

I love that there are so many pātaka kai around our communities. A couple have sprung up in my hood and a little library. When we share what we have we have what we need. Especially with so much homegrown produce around.

My avatar is a little button badge I bought at a cool hippy knitting shop in Asheville NC. I loved my time over there and the amazing, generous, decent people. Not sure if that shop made it through the floods. This timeline is all 💔
A button badge with a picture of Princess Leia and the words ‘A woman’s place is in the resistance’. The cool shop in Asheville where I bought the buttons. The window is set up with a heap of knitted resistance monkeys as different characters

Truth from Tina Ngata. All tentacles of the same 🐙 www.facebook.com/share/1YQNq4...
The center-right can turn themselves inside-out trying to please the far right but the truth is, anything less than total subservience to corporate empire is simply not enough for them. There are no half- measures with them. Either you are all the way in, or you are weak and treacherous.The center-right can turn themselves inside-out trying to please the far right but the truth is, anything less than total subservience to corporate empire is simply not enough for them.
