You've gotta admire Stuff's commitment to a cause, and ensuring that it is reflected throughout the organisation

Jun 13 2023
"The Forever Project recognises that climate change and sustainability are issues that touch every aspect of our lives: from the food we eat to the cars we drive; from the diseases that menace us to whether we can get house insurance; from protest action to political inaction.",
https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/300903564/the-forever-project-robust-climate-coverage-with-practical-advice

And just to make sure we are getting the message from one of their contributors we got:

"Why I escaped NZ winter for two months on a Greek island"
"Faced with the prospect of another winter in my single-glazed Christchurch home, I started Googling flights to Europe a few months ago. My criteria: somewhere warm and beautiful, with lots of interesting history, decent infrastructure for remote working, and at least semi affordable prices."
My ultimate destination: the Greek island of Crete

to be fair, they did post this story - but wouldnt put it past them to think this was also the humanraces fault - https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/weather-news/131248166/new-study-will-look-at-link-between-tongan-eruption-and-cyclone-gabrielle

LOL, kinda sums up why we're doomed.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

I'm legitimately unsure whether you're poking fun at an "evening" challenge posted at 15:11, the date being in the future, or the inanity of the question. Maybe all three?

I was more concerned with the fact that a time travel device somehow ended up in the hands of Stuff editors. But the other two points are equally concerning.

I'm now legitimately concerned about your ability to read, even 48 point font in black and white, and/or understanding of the Gregorian calendar. Or maybe I'm just poking fun...

The Telegraph has had a story every day this week about kids identifying as cats and dogs.

I know it’s meat for the reactionary base but chill out and go back to writing stories about the majesty of Britain and why Brexit will save the world.
