I don’t have any great issue with this tbh.

Useful for clueless students who have been turning their shared digs mouldy.

Especially as the pic has the items hung up the wrong way round.

It was an article for the Australian edition of the guardian

After the first two terms you'd have thought they'd work it out

id just clicked past a pop up begging me to pay to make a difference to their journalism and the world we live, It always guilt tripped me somehow - here they were heroically posting the stories and I was just leeching off them. Never paying, blocking their ads and their tracking cookies. Get to fuck in your Cotswold weekend volvo Wellington boots wankers

For the stuff about drying indoors perhaps, but re: outdoors, it’s pissing down for the first two terms.

Given the stories I've heard about students, I wouldn't be so confident.

so the actor david warner has died and in his obituary the guardian declares that he didn't set food on stage for 40 years after a disastrous production of i claudius in 1973.

Veteran British actor David Warner, star of The Omen and Tron, dies aged 80

The stage and screen veteran’s multifaceted career included roles in Titanic, Time Bandits and Straw Dogs, as well as a renowned Hamlet for the RSC

most people would make that 30 years, as the guardian did in 2002 when warner returned to the stage in a production of the feast of snails - the guardian not only innumerate but inaccurate. again.

This article was amended on 28 July 2022. Ivermectin is primarily an antiparasitic drug, not a “horse tranquilliser” as an earlier version said.

Guardian subs have been taking too much ketamine at the weekends

 

[kabbes]

Funny thing about ketamine is that it is used as a tranquilliser for loads of other animals every bit as much as it is used for horses. More, even. It sounds a bit cooler calling it a “horse tranquilliser” than it does calling it a “cat anaesthetic” or a “hamster sedative” though.

With regards to ivermectin, the reason the "horse paste" epithet for it gets thrown about a lot is because the quack fuckwits who tout it have genuinely caused supply issues for vetinarians:

How Covid Misinformation Created a Run on Animal Medicine

Veterinarians, ranchers and farmers say they are struggling with the effects of the surging demand for ivermectin, a deworming drug.

www.nytimes.com

It's hard to get legitimate human-dosed ivermectin, since a prescription is needed, and actual doctors are understandably reluctant to issue a script for an anti-parasitic in order to treat a viral illness.

Or children's anaesthetic even.

 

[Orang Utan]

Or children's anaesthetic even.

Or emergency anaesthetic for paramedics when they don’t know the patient’s health history, so if you’ve shredded your arse on a tube escalator or been flung through a windscreen and shattered your rib cage, they will administer a massive dose of ketamine (compared to a recreational dose anyway), until they can get you back to the hospital and access your medical records to find out whether opiates can be used for your pain.
It’s one of WHO’s essential medicines, and is valuable in poorer countries as an anaesthetic and pain killer, as it doesn’t need loads of tech or even electricity to monitor a patient like other anaesthetics, nor does it require an anaesthetist or doctor to administer, as it doesn’t repress your breathing nor your heartbeat and therefore require an expert to administer and monitor. Because of this it’s also valuable in war zones and in disasters to administer on site in absence of a field hospital.
It’s a fantastic drug!

 

[8ball]

True that. It’s fucking awesome.
Had it once for a cardioversion.

Simon Jenkins on Truss' Oxbridge idea:

Her proposal would involve some 13,000 Oxbridge interviews from England alone, swamping and distorting the admissions system (assuming candidates can afford to await their exam results, rather than taking up conditional offers elsewhere), and discouraging applicants with less than three A*.

They always were. Anyone who thinks EU nice and cuddly and kumbaya and not at all racist needs to read it all again very carefully.

An honest acceptance that ‘taking back can’t of borders’ is essentially a racist endeavour
