Our high school motto was ‘Per Aspera Ad Astra’ or ‘Reach For The Stars’ . At the time there was a popular margerine called Astra being advertised on TV. So in our minds our school motto was ‘pass the margerine’

Non-East Asian NZers are really suffering right now, they're writing massive butter-porn articles about the heavy flavour of the stuff that the country produces en masse but which they can't afford to buy.
Why butter is just better, no matter the cost
Bread-and-margarine pudding just doesn't have the same ring to it, says food writer Denise Irvine.

Under the cover of the on-again/off-again Coalition drama, Labor is gearing up to approve an absolutely catastrophic gas project.
Woodside’s North West Shelf is an untapped climate bomb.
This approval would mean supercharged floods, fires and species extinctions.

The Murujuga rock art is one of Australia's most priceless heritage sites.
And it's being slowly destroyed.
If Environment Minister Murray Watt approves the 50 year extension to the North West Shelf, it will be a death sentence for Murujuga.

In Latin American Spanish, “Pope” and “potato” are written the same, except for gender capitalisation, so (el) Papa ⛪️ and (la) papa 🥔 sound the same. Which is making Peru’s chips brands do this bit: “Perú, Tierra de Papas”; Peru, Land of Potatoes/Popes
