Now, see. I'm wiser than Kash Patel. He's now being haunted by that video of him drinking when the US won at the Olympics.
Now, I do consume edibles, but I do it in the comfort of my own domicile. Nobody ever sees...
Oh, fuck...
My cat! Where is he? Not blabbing to the press I hope. No! No! No! NOOOO!!! :headache:

@tbh
You are correct, TBH!
"Satirical website the Onion plans to turn rightwing commentator Alex Jones’s misinformation site Infowars into a parody of itself under a leasing agreement provisionally approved by a Texas court."
The Onion will be paying over $80,000 per month for this lease if reporting is correct.
That seems to me like a lot of money to pay to rent a misinformation platform.

Great news. PapersPast have added issues of The [Christchurch] Press from 1990 to 1995! They will be a mine of information, especially for those researching recent family history, especially in that part of Aotearoa.

There's a standout article in #ThePress by Charlie Mitchell detailing how in the 1960s Christchurch city, NZ, came within a whisker of having a major motorway built through the middle of Hagley Park. That's the big park in the core of the city. The majority of local politicians were all for the motorway and it was only stopped by a coincidental administrative change in the way parks were managed that was backed by a national government decision.
Christchurch's mayor in the late 1960s, Ron Guthrey, was an ardent motorway supporter. The Press article notes how, in his inaugural speech as mayor, "he floated the idea of allowing cars to drive through the Botanic Gardens". At the next election he became the first sitting Christchurch mayor to be defeated in nearly half a century.
I see some parallels here with our current self-described "petrol head" mayor who wants to dig up a central city cycleway.
In the 1960s, opposition to the motorway was led by conservative councillor Peter Skellerup. “Surely the cult of the motor-car is not so strong that we carve through our oldest and most beloved reserve,” he said in 1963. “You can't land an aeroplane in the city… surely the car should be restricted from certain places.” "Skellerup, running to reclaim his seat, won more votes than any other council candidate in New Zealand’s history."

It's local election year in Christchurch City, NZ, which means we have some politicians, including our self-confessed "petrol-head" mayor, making noise about the city's allegedly high spending on cycle ways. There's a good article today in #ThePress pushing back against that, showing that cycle way spending will be about 0.11% of rates increases. They compare that with the 4.6% rates increase for our new stadium.
What the article doesn't do is compare the city's cycle way and car way spending. I found numbers for the region on the ECan website for the next 10 years, for building and servicing our transport infrastructure. It's 74.3% car spend (mostly road maintenance and improvements), 21.9% public transport (including operating the bus fleets), and 3.3% cycling and walking.

#ThePress has an article out about several recent sightings of tūī across Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ.
Tūī have become an icon for efforts across the city and Banks Peninsula to control introduced mammalian predators and regenerate and replant the lost native forest. These efforts are resulting in a gradual return of native birds.
